Several weeks ago he contracted a severe cold which de veloped into asthma. His heart, which had been unable to stand the strain, gave way during the night and he sank rapidly after daylight todav. Although they realized the serious ness of Senator La Follette's condi tion, members of his family had hoped until today that he would recover. Last night his physicians said he was resting, but nevertheless he took a quick and decided turn for the-worse in the night hours and hope was abandoned. NEW YORK, Juno 18. (A. P.)

His sponsorship relinquished by the prose cution, which for many weeks has had hiiu under close guard as its pro claimed chief witness, Charles C. Fal man was called as a court's witness today in the Shepherd murder trial. He took the witness stand for direct examination by Judge Thomas J. Lynch at 11:08 A. M. The step was over the bitter protest of the defense, which argued that the move would prejudice the jury and open up avenues of cross-examination by the state which otherwise would be denied. Falman, a dapper little blonde man, launched Immediately into his accu sation of Shepherd after Judge Lynch had asked him two questions of Iden tification. . ! He talked in a barely audible voice aM Judge- Lynch, seated 'less than 'Bix feet from the witness stand, Btralned forward to hear what was said. Witness Is Nervous. Faiman glanced nervouBly from the judge to the jury to counsel and shifted about In the witness chair. "Do you know Shepherd?" was the court's third question. "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Did you have any dealings with him?" asked Judge Lynch. "Yes," again was the reply. "Tell the jury about it," directed the court, and the man who was In dicted with Shepherd was off on the story the state has said it depends upon to convict Shepherd. Thrice previously he had told a story that he gave Shepherd typhoid baccllli and taught him how to slay young Billy McClintock with them for a promise of $100,000 from the $1,000, 000 estate the youth had willed to Shepherd. Faiman, proprietor of the National University of Sciences, a school housed In an old briok residence, said Shep herd sent him a letter inquiring about a course in bacteriology and that after he had sent a representative to see Shepherd, the accused man came to his institution. Shepherd said he wanted to take a course in criminal bacteriology, Fai man said. Shepherd is a lawyer. Asked to See Germs. , Shepherd wanted to see some germs, Faiman testified, and was shown some on a slide. s The defendant said he would return, said Faiman, and upon the second visit displayed especial interest In typhoid and tuberculosis germs. Shepherd asked how a person could be given germs and was told they could be introduced in food or in cold water, said Faiman, adding that Shep herd wanted to know if the faot germs had been fed a person could be re vealed in a post-mortem examination. Faiman wet his lips occasionally as he mumbled through his testimony and for the most part kept his eyes aimed at his feet. - "Will the witness please talk louder, the defendant can't hear a word he says," interrupted Robert Stoll, Shep herd's law partner, who throughout the trial has sat by Shepherd s side. Told to Speak Up, The jurors strained forward In their seats, those farthest away cupping their ears In an effort to hear. No questions were asked Faiman as he was given free rein to go on through his story. Prosecutor Crowe, seated directly In front of Faiman, urged the witness to keep "your voice up, we can't hear you." , It was on his third visit to the Faiman School that 8hepherd Intro duced the name of Billy McClintock. "The next time I saw Shepherd he told me he was the guardian of a boy named Billy McClintock," said Faiman, in one of his few audible phases. Faiman's next testimony dealt with Shepherd's recovery of the letter he said had bean written as the original step in Shepherd's interest in the bacteriological course. "He gave me $ao for the letter and said I would be well taken caTe of financially," said Faiman.
