i ,
fort In' London- last ntOt' regard
ed! by President Coolise as a
helpful interpretation of American
opinion on . European f;uestions,
although it. was made wholly on
the "responsibility of . the ambassd-
dor himself, served
cussion in official.
to enliven dis
congressional and diploj -.atic circles in Washing
ton. '
hReiMuiieility Not Assumed
There, was ho attempt to read
into Mr. Houghton's remarks a
construction' that 'Would make it
apply direetly to any 1 particular
nation or any special political de
velopment in Europe. It was made
clear, however; that the Ameri
can helpfulness to which the Am
erican' ambassador made reference
was understood to! be the expan
sion of private American loans to
Europe, either to tie governments
orj to -commercial interests.
! Bankers k Relied On
In that connection, the viewof
President Coolidge j that American,
financiers could . hot fail to use
discretion in determining which
countries across t be -Atlantic af
forded the best investment - mar-
ket, was. again emphasized. -TheJ
president feels that the bankers
are aware that, while American
loans could help to stabilize cur
rency and exchange and thns aid
commercial 'recuperation in 'those
countries which fare ' straining
evWy-nerve to -hfelp' themselves
economically. In pther countries
such loans would be of very doubt
ful value, due to the internal and
external policies -of the govern
ments Involved. j '
Statements Agreed With
;The only formal (statement auth
orized in, any, official quarters
with' respect to Mr. Houghton's
speech was that ofj Senator Borah
of Idaho, chairman of the senate
foreign ! relations Committee.
;"It was a timely and wise pro
nouncement," he said, ."If it was
intended as the announcement of
a i. policy to be followed-p. and
carried out, its importance can
hardly be overestimated. - In say
ing this I am thinking of Europe
as well an the United States.

CHICAGO, May 5. The coron
er's Jury investigating the death
of William NV McClintock. million
aire orphan,' tonight concurred in
the action of the grand ary which
Indicted William D, Shepherd, Mc
Clintoek'a foster , father, for; his
murder and also recommended
that Mrs. William P. Shepherd be
held to the grand jury as an ac
cessory to the murder. L,
: r Two Charge Faced
The jury also recommended that
Shepherd be held to the . grand
jury on a charge of murder in the
death of Mrs. Emma Nelson Mc
Clintock, the young millionaire's
another, who died 16 years ago,
and that Mrs. Shepherd be held as
an accessory to murder in this
death. The Jury found that Mrs.
McClintock died from mercury
poisoning administered by Shep
herd. .-I ; ;
The jury returned an open ver
dict in the case of Dr. Oscar Ol
son, the McClintock family phy
sician and brother of Judge Harry
Olson, instigator rof the investiga
tion. , In this case the jury said
it was unable to determine the
thrpfl vearn sen Ka nnlunn vai
found in his exhumed body but a
large amount of mercury wa
found in the body of Mrs. McClin
tock. . " ; . I
Confession Detailed
The coroner's, jury also com
curred in the action of the grand
jury which indicted Charles C.'
Falman, with Shepherd. Faiman
had confessed Shepherd offered
him $100,000 for typhiod germs
to give McClintock. Regarding
Mrs. Shepherd, the jury said It be
lieved she had 'guilty knowledge
as to the administration of typhoid
germs or other manner causing
the death of the deceased."
-The jury returned its first ver
dict regarding the leath of young
McClintock after deliberating one
hour and 20 minutes. It then re
turned again and a few minutes
later came. back with its finding
regarding the death of Mrs. Mc
Clintock and Dr. Olson. The ver
dicts climaxed an investigation by
the body extending over a period
of about five months. The jury
returned its verdict after listening
for several hours to a scathing de
nunciation-of both Shepherd and
his wife by Judge Olson" who de
manded the Investigation Into the
death of the young millionaire and
later into the deaths of Mrs. Mc
Clintock and his brother.
Strong Will Possessed
