Crowe’s case of attempted jury bribing against William D. Shepherd’s lawyers faced definite collapse today. The only suspect is to be exonerated and no fresh charges have been made. .lames C. Callan, a ward politician, who was accused of trying to “tamper” with Phili Harry, was ready to come into court and enter a complete denial.

Contentions of Crowe that witnesses have been tampered with may have greater success when Robert White, missing nearly two weeks, is found and returned to Chicago. White, in a letter to Crowe’s office, declared that he ran away because hoi feared violence at the hands of Shepherd’s attorneys. He said, however, that he would return for the' trial and testify for the State against Shepherd.
