STATE ASSAILS MAN
Prosecution Demands Ex
treme Penalty as Price
for Murder Claim
Shepherd Victim.
(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.

. WASHINGTON-, June 24. 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.
