William Darling Shepherd, who
faced a Jury charged with fatally
administering typhoid germs, to Ms)

Cllntock.
William Scott Stewart, chief ot

states outline of Its case stripped
of any reference to the deaths ot
Mra. Emma Nelson McCUntock and
Dr. Oscar Olson, or autopsies over
them, but Mr. Crowe successfully
resisted the defense wish to limit
him. Judge Lynch ruled that it
would be Improper to object if tha
state sought to Introduce anything;
not allied with the death ot young
McCUntock. but allied with what
has been charged by Judge Harry
Olson waa a plot by Shepherd to
obtain the McClinteck $1,000,000
estate by slaying those who stood
between him and It.
The defendant, his wife, wlio sat
across the aisle from him and
nearby spectators turned startled
eyea upon young Mr. Stewart when
at one point In bis argument, he
said:
"But, Judge, we do not want the)
Jury to hear anything they should

remove It from their minds then
would do no good. It would be In
I their minds like the blood on our
