SHEPHERD FIGHT FOR WCLINTOCK ESTATE STARTS Creditor Chauffeur of Former Local Man Punches His Chin. B July 16. —William Darling Shepherd former Indianapolis man, today fought what he hoped would be his last court battle for possession of the $1,000,000 estate of his foster son, Billy MeClintock. Witnesses were summoned in probate court to uphold Shepherd’s contention that Billy of his own free will signed a will leaving everything to him save SB,OOO annuity to Miss Isabelle Pope, the beautiful society girl who was to have been Billy’s wife. Chauffeur Strikes Shepherd Opposed to these witnesses were attorneys for nine of Billy’s cousins who insist that Shepherd used “undue influence” to have Billy sign the will. Miss Pope according to her own testimony at Shepherd’s murder trial, has entered into an agreement with the cousins whereby she will get one-half the estate if they succeed in breaking the will. -Meanwhile Luis Klees, formerly a chauffeur for Shepherd was unler bond of SSOO until he shows cause for not being in contempt of court. Klees struck Shepherd on the point of the chin just outside the court late yesterday. “You killed Billy, you dirty dog,” Klees shouted as he sprang at Shepherd and delivered two sharp blows to the chin. Shepherd Owes Him Court bailiffs grappled with Klees and Anally quieted him. Klees was one of the most important witnesses against Shepherd at the coroner’s Inquest, but he was not called to testify in Shepherd's trial for murder. He maintains that Shepherd owes him $55 for back services. Two household employes ivho witnessed Billy's signature to the will were Shepherd’s chief hope of proving that the w’ill is proper. They admitted, under Cross-examination, however, that they did not read the text of the will carefully and that pages might have hen substituted.
