(Amnrlatrd Vrrm IiaM Wirt.) CHICAGO. June 24. William D. Rhf pherd was the victim of a diabol ic conspiracy and ehould not be hanged on the testimony of one man. who sought to prove hira guilty of murder of William Mc C'lintock. the jury was told today by William S. Stewart, chief of de fense counsel. "If you gentlemen think this de fendant went out and talked with Charles Falman, Hang him," shout ed Stewart at the outset of his ar gument. "He didn't have any busi ness talking with Faitnan." It was Charles C. Katman, pro prietor of the National University of Science, who said he gave Shep herd typhoid germs and taught him how to use them to murder Will iam McCUntock for the $1,000,000 estate he had willed to Shepherd. Prosecution of Shepherd was at tacked by Stewart as forced by power behind the scenes, and he charged Robert E. Crowe, the state's attorney, and Stewart's former chief, with permitting him self to be made a catspaw In a will fight. Shaking his fist within a foot of Crowe's face, Stewart demanded to know why Falman's "diploma mill" had not been closed, and said he would leave the prosecutor's expla nation to his constituents. Stewart talked for 30 minutes af ter George E. Gorman, first atislst tnt state's attorney, had concluded (he prosecution's opening jury plea, a demand for the death penalty. Stewart worked himself into a frenzy as he pleaded for Shepherd. Facing from the Jurv box to Shep herd's side, gesturing irctfully and shouting at the top of his voice, he was streaming perspira tion long before the noon recess halted him. "Don't you know that if the de fendant Is given even one day In prison he never will benefit by the will of -Billy" McCUntock?" ask ed Stewart. "Don't vou see It Is a plot to destroy him?" Stewart told the jury that the newspapers had kept the coroner's jury In session for weeks so that they could print sensational charges against Shepherd as made by Judge Olson. (AawocUted Ptms Lmu!

After the navy department bad threat ened today to withdraw from par ticipation In tiie MacMMlan Arctic expedition, the National Geograp-! nic Society, joint sponsor of the undertaking, announced that an agreement had been reached and the exploration would be carried through as planned. , The navy Insisted on the Instal lation on the Peary, one of the ships of the expedition, of navy long wave radio apparatus, which had been left behind. It rushed the equipment north to Sydney by the destroyer Putnam to be put aboard the Peary. SYDNEY, N. S., June 24. The Peary, first of the MucMillan Arc tic expedition ships has arrived here after a foggy three days trip from Wiscasset, Maine. The vessel is awaiting the arrival tonipht of the Bowdoin in command of Donald B. Mac M.) 11a n. Both vessels will take on fuel. The de parture for the expedition base at Etah, Greenland, will depend upon the time required for fueling. ' The Peary is carrying United States navy officers and the three amphibian airplanes with which ,the Arctic will be explored. The ship left Wiscasset last Saturday. The Bowdoln stopped at Monhegan .Island. Maine, and followed the eary last Saturday. The area between the pole and North America, on which Mac Mil lia hopes to find another contin ent Is also to be explored by Koald Amundsen. Undaunted by bis re cent failure to fly over the pole with Lincoin Ellsworth, Amundsen, dispatches from Norway say, he believes there is land on the North American side of the pole and pro poses to discover It. WASHINGTON, June 24 Per emptory orders have been Issued by Secretary Wilbur for the Instal lation of navy wireless equipment on the MarMIUaa Arctic explora tion ship Peary. A long wave navy set Is being rushed from Wiscasset, Maine, to Sydney, Nova Scotia, where the Peary Is anchored and Lieutenant Commander Byrd, In charge of the naval detachment with the expe dition, has been instructed to have it put into service. The expedition sailed with a short wave radio set installed by a private corporation. The navy de partment said today this apparatus had developed trouble. It was the original intention to install the standard navy long wave equipment, hut apparently orders to that effect did not reach Com mander Byrd and the set was not taken aboard at Boston. The ap paratus then was shipped to Wis casset by motor truck where it waa again left behind. TO PLAY FIRS 0 1 T ON THURSDAYS FAMOUS SCIENTIST VICTIM OF DEATH .
