Judge Thomas J. Lynch and tho lawyers for both sides tentatively agreed to such a step at a recess conference In chambers this morn ing. The first jury plea In behalf of Shepherd was continued -today by William Scott Stewart, chief of de fense counsel. He spoke for more than two hours yesterday andafd this morning he would require all of the forenoon and probably would continue talking this after noon. Closing Delayed The Indicated length of his ar gument set back the probable time of the case going to the jury. After Stewart concluded, W. W. O'Brien, his associate, will close for the defense. Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney then will close for the prosecution. Shepherd entered the court room this morning with his face showing distinct marks of worry. He seemed more care worn than at any time since he was accused of using typhoid germs to murder his millionaire foster son, William Nel son McClintock. Stewart took up the manner of the making of Billy McCtlntock's will and scored that as a point in Shepherd's favor. Stntc's Case Attacked "If he had been nursing the boy along to slay him, wouldn't he haw gotten some one else to draw the will?" nskedStewart. "That Is ono of the points he Is going to have to explain In the probate court in the will fight. He must face it. But if he had been try ing to prepare an alibi, wouldn't he have had somebody else draw the will so as to cast suspicions from him." Stewart took up the testimony of many witnesses In the trial and analyzed It from his viewpoint for the Jury. The letter Shepherd wrote to Miss Erttclle Gehling, a young nurse with whom he once was friendly, "was Just a letter to a girl," Stew art said, even though Shepherd wrote that he was bankrupt, had no plans and probably would close his office and drift away from It all. Loiter Minimized Shepherd's statement to the young woman that he had asked Billy to give him a valuable piece of property was not In keeping with his alleged Plan to kill the youth and get It all, Stewart said "Never mind about Willie, he will come out of thi with his pockets filled," a statement attrlb uteu to bnepherd 17 years ngo while he was examining Mrs. Mc Cllntock's Texas property, was call ed a reference to the money mak ing possibilities of a project rather than a step in a murder plot. StewaU admitted tout Shepheri .idd said to a newspaperman that lie hurried home to throw out of the house t-nyhody who tried .n any Hilly. lie pointed to thai as an Illustration of fatherly In ant rather than a desperate move to prevent a marriage which would nullify a will In which Billy haJ .uit tihc;jhcrd the $1,000,000. Stewart :atd grout stress upon f'ahvun's statemc'Ut that he gave Shepherd three test tubes of bucil 11, "one of typhoid A and one of na.a tynhoM It," and that he hid not suid he gave some typhild rorms.
