Is Guest at Dinner Scopes, who leaves for home to-: day, was a guest at a dinner of the civic club last night. He said he wus embarrassed in addressing the distin guished group of liberals and radicals first because he was young and in-: experienced, and secondly because, while an automobile had been sent to get Clarence Darrow, one of his coun sel, he had to walk- to the club and got lost. "Being a goat is not unpleasant," he said. "If you aro going to be a gout you want to tuke thought as to whether you are to be a big goat or a little one. I really and truly think this is a fight for freedom of thought. This trial is not to Judge whether 1 arn a criminal." As side lights of his New York visit Scopes said: "I found New Yorkers the most lovuble people in the country, with the most greedy hotels and restau rants und the most selfish people .those reporters who wanted to mo nopolize all my time and not even let me see the Follies." Theatre Puts on Skit If Scopes did not go to the Follies, he did find amusement at another theater in a bkit forecasting the com ing evolution trial.

SHEPHERD BEATEN IN 1ST ROUND Court Denies Plea to Cut Out Portion of State's 'Opening Address Painting Alleged Germ Killer As Panhandler and Shyster Lawyer De fense Makes Bull. CHICAGO. Juno 11. (A. P.) Stren uous effort by tho defense to have JudKe Thomas J. . Lynch limit the opening statement of Robert K. Crowe, state's attorney, opened the trial of William Darling Shepherd, who faced a Jury charged with fatally administering typhoid germs, to his foster son, William Nelson McClln took. When court opened 35 minutes after the hour set, William Scott Stewart, chief of defense counsel sought to have tiie state's outline of its case strlppod of any reference to the deaths of Mrs. Emma Nelson Mc Clintock and Dr. Oscar Olson, or autopsies over them, hut Mr. Crowe successfully resisted the defenBe wish to limit him. Judge Lynch ruled that it would be improper to object If the stute Bought to introduce anything not allied with the death of young McCUntock, but allied with whut has been charged by Judge Harry Olson was a plot by Shepherd to obtain Mc Clintock'B $1,000,000 estate by slaying those who stood between him and it. . The defendant, his wife, who sat across the aisle from him, and nearby spectators turned startled eyes upon young Mr. Stewart when at one point in his argument, he said: "But, Judge, we do not want the Jury to hear anything they should not hear. Instructions to them to remove It from their .. minds then would-to no good. It . would bo in their, minds like thd blood on our hands."' He did not elaborate on or explain the statement and It apparently was a misapplied figure of speech. Miss Isabelle Pope who awaited with a marriage license to wed young McCUntock when he lapsed into his lust coma, appeared In the oourt room for the first time. She was accom panied by her attorney, John II. S. Lee. After the witnesses had been ex cluded from the court room und the Jury recalled upon completion of the arguments, state's Attorney Crowe began his opening statement In a low, conversational voice that could not be heard a dozen feet away. shepherds Panhandlers ' Prosecutor Crowe referred to. Shep herd and Mrs. Shepherd as "pan handlers," who had lived off Mrs. McCUntock for yinrs before her mys terious deuth and since had lived off her estate. Shepherd, the prosecutor described as a man who never had eurned more than $16 a week. An extensive study of chemistry was ascribed to the defendant by the prosecutor who referred to study In the Indianapolis, Ind., high .school, a western drug store owned by Mrs. Shepherd's father and In a private la boratory hidden In a secret closet at the McCUntock home in Kenllworth, a North Shore suburb of Chicago. Tho prosecutor did not have regard f6r tho pre-statement objections of the defense and detailed the manner of Mrs. McClintock's death, said Shepherd was elated when he heard the news and remurked that he would "come out of .It with his ' pockets filled." Crowe said Shepherd had drawn up n will for Mrs. McCUntock but did not know that shortly before she died she had made a new will. A Shyster Lawyer Shepherd was referred to as police court' hanger-on at Indlanapo lis, where Crowe said, he practiced without a license. r - J The prosecutor detailed the rela tions of the Shepherds with Mrs Md Clintock after she obtained the $1, 000.000 estate from her husband, say Inir the friendship between Mrs. Mc CUntock and Mrs. Shepherd dated back to school days in Kansas. After the Shepherds came to Chi cago for a visit, which lengthened to a life time,. the prosecutor said. Shep herd planned and schemed to obtain the fortune. The mind of the McCUntock boy was poisoned ' against Alexander Relchmann, co-guardian with Mrs. Shepherd under . McClintock's will said Crowe, as part of the Shepherd plan to obtain domination over the child and retain It until he was 81 and then force him to make a will In Shepherd's favor, a plnn that worked out as formulated. "Unethicnl." was the prosecutor's term for shepherd in having drawn up the will of his foster son. He also ermed It of doubtful value. , Crowe referred to the Intended marriage of young McCUntock and Miss Pope as an obstacle to the Shepherd plan which had to be re moved so that the Shepherd plan nf seventeen y'-ars could atlnln fruition.
