Supreme Court Denies Plea for Bail.
(Amlittd r. Uuol Wire.)
SPRINGFIELD. III.. April 10.
William D. Shepherd, foster fa
ther of William N. McClinlock.
"millionaire orphon." was today
denied a writ of habeas corpus by
the supreme court. The court of
fered do comment.
CHICAGO. April 10. Federal
courts may be asked by the de
fense to take jurisdiction of the
case of William 11. Shepherd,
charged with the murder of his
foster son, William N. McCllntock.
'This plan came today after the su
preme court at Springfield had re
fused a writ of habeas corpus. It
was the fourth futUe attempt in
the defense's untiring efforts to
get Shepherd nut of jail.
The latest setback in the cam
paign to free Shepherd on bail
came less than 24 hours after the
coroner had announced that Ir.
W. D. McNally. coroner's chemist,
had found sufficient mercury in
the vital organs of Mrs. Emma
Nelson McCllntock to have caused
death, and expressed the opinion
that Mrs. McCllntock was mur
dered. She was the mother of
:Dilly" McCllntock and died 16
years ago. William Scott Stewart,
counsel for Shepherd, after hear
ing the news from Springfield,
said he did not care to announce
future plans of the defense until
after he has received a copy of the
official finding of the Bupreme
court.
That the federal courts may be
asked to consider the case, pre
sumably upon constitutional
grounds, was hinted at by the at
torney, who three times prior to
going to the state's highest court,
had sought and was denied. In the
criminal courts, bail for Shepherd.
body of Mrs. McCllntock, has not
completed analysis of the vital or
gans of Dr. Oscar Olson, iMeCHn
tock family physician, whose body
was disinterred at the same time
as that of Mrs. McCllntock. Dr.
Olson, brother of Harry Olson, mu
nicipal court chief justice and in
stigator of the Inquirv Into Wil
liam McClintock's death, died 3
years ago a few hours after Shep
herd had visited him.
Detectives who checked all the
medicinal prescriptions given Mrs.
McCllntock during her last Illness
announced none of them showed
that mercury or Its ' compounds
had been contained in them. Sev
eral witnesses of her last move
ments have been found by Judge
Olson who will testify when the
coroner's Inquest la resumed after
the chemical analysis are complet
ed. One of these has said, accord
ing to Judge Olson, that he saw
Shepherd give Mrs. McCllntock
liquid from a bottle during her
trip to the southwest from which
she returned to die. Another, a
St. Louis woman, has made a
statement that Mrs. McCllntock
apparently was in the best of
health when she passed through
