SHEPHERD TRIAL
A HARD BATTLE
CRIMINAL COURT. CHICAGO,
June 11. (United News) Objec
tions skillfully flung from the lips
of defense attorneys, compelled
State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe to
discard his planned procedure on the
first day of the trial of William
Darling Shepherd for the murder or
his millionaire foster son, William
Nelson McCllntock. When court ad
journed the defense tactics still were
effectively blocking Crowe.
Direct testimony began with the
appearance In the Box oi juage
Harry Olson, who was prepared to
talk a week," but after ten min
utes on the stand, during in which
he was repeatedly prevented from
answering Crowe's questions by de
fense objections, Olson was excused
to be recalled at a later date.
Alexander Relchman, life-long
friend of Billy McCllntock's father.
and trustee of the orphan's $1,000.-
000 estate, followed Olson upon the
stand, and bit by bit Crowe drew
from him the beginning of the story
f the "ill-fated McCllntock mil
lion." Relchman told of disagree
ments with Mrs. Julia Shepherd,
who Bhnred with him the responsi
bility for Billy's welfare, but Wil
liam Scott Stewart ami W. w.
O'Brien, Shepherd's attorneys, pelt
ed the bench with objections so that
the progress of the case was slow.
Reichmnnn scarcely had begun his
story, upon which Crowe depends to
help fit a noose to Shepherd's nock,
before court adjourned. He will
return to the stand tomorrow.
Bitter feeling heated the well of

In the nature of a get acquainted
confetrence where matters of a more
or less general nature came uv for
discussion. Chairman Smith stated
that similar meeting would be hold
with the Hilt officials on tie oc
casion of their visit here June 20.
Five hundred people, representing all parts of Klamath
county, filled the big community hall at Merrill last night, and
listened attentively for three hours to speakers who cham
pioned the cause of the Southern Pacific on the one hand, and
the Hill roads on the other. The meeting closed with the Mer

country.

with none against, and that of the Southern Pacific 32 favor
able votes, with no opposition.
The meeting was opened by a re
quest from Chairman C. C. Hulet
that there be no ' personalities In
jected into the discussion, stating
tboit the people were there to bear
wilth an open mind the discussion of
a question vital to the interests of
all. Merrill has hnng out a sign

along and take that sign down, and
we don't care what- road does it."
The various speakers .and the final
vote proved that the chairman's
wishes were carried out In the full
est particular. '
' ' 'Many Are' Speakers
R. C. Groesbeck, attorney for the
O, C, & E. opened the meeting with
a discourse on the local railroad
building situation as t Is affected
by the authority of the public ser
vice commission and the Interstate
commerce commission. H. H. Corey,
chairman of the public service
commission of Oregon 'was warmly
complimented by he speaker as the
man who Initiated the present road
building activities in ithe state.
There, are three railroad building
applications before the lmfcerstatle
commerce commission at the pre
sent time, Groesbeck said. 'First,
the application of the Oregon pub
lic service commission ito force the
building of certain connecting lines
in the state; second, the appUoa-

miles to I.fkBvtew and Silver lake,
and third, the application of the
Hill system to build two lines into
Klamath Falls.
Don't Hlufp Capital
It should not be our purpose to
slap any railroad on the back neith
er to slap any line In the face, the
speaker said. The S. P. has not
given up the building of the Modoc
Northern but it must be shown
and the interstate commerce com
mission must be shown that the
tine would pay 12 months out of
the year. The serious question of
truck competition on the highways
must be considered. Showing, the
prosresslve policy of the present
S. P. lines, the speaker pointed out
that they were building more miles
of new railroads at the present tlmie
than all other lines put together.
Groesbeck closed with a plea to
welcome the Investment of capital
by big corporations In this state.
You can't expect capital ito come in
and then insult It, he said. 1
Mayor Henry Anderson of Merrill
was the 'next speaker, and his honor
caused considerable merriment
among his hearers by bis straight
forward manner of speech. "We
need a road mighty bad, and we
don't core whose road It Is," An
derson said. "About 15 years ago
the S. P. bought a right-of-way
through this town, one house was
In the way so I bought It, with the
understanding that I move the build
ing off the line. I had to sign an
agreement to do this In a hurry,
but the road Isn't here yet. I don't
know whether It would do a road
any good to build down here, but It
certainly ,would do us a lot of good."
R. E. Bradbury, head of, the
Klamath Irrigation district, empha
sized that railroad transportation
was absolutely necessary It the pro
ject was to go ahead He said "we
are certainly Indebted to the Hill
roads for starting the present ac
tivity towards getting a line ln here,
and for that reason they should
BEND, Ore., June 11. (United

sion of the line south from Bend

Thomas Talks
A. M. Thomas, secretary of the
irrigation district, said representa
tives of the Hill roads had been in
vited to attend this meeting, but
the meeting was arranged on such
short notice the Hill people conld
not get here in time. At this point
he asked C. W. Eberlein. who was
in attendance, to read a telegram he
had received from Judge Carey,- at
torney for the Northern lines,, stat
ing that the highest officials of that,
road would be . in Klamath on June.
20th, and would hold a .public re
ception, to which all were invited
at the White Pelican hotel. Thomas
said he did not think the applica
tion of the O. C. ft B. to build to
Lakeview concerned the Tule lake
country very materially, but" they
were concerned with the application
of the Hill roads to build down from
Bend. He thought their line wonld
go on south through Tule lake sec
tion, and that would mean an out
let cast, and It was a question
whether just a spur line as the 8.
P. proposed, out from Klamath Falls
would be worth while.
Robert E. Strahorn, the final
speaker of the evening, was. intro
duced by the chairman as one of
the outstanding men of America.
man who had been written up ln
"Who's Who In America." ' ...
In his Introduction Mr. Strahorn
said he had always tried to be a
constructive factor ln the commun
ity and not a destructive one, and
through this policy of tirelessly try
ing to accomplish something, had
invited lots of criticism to be dir
ected against (him. .
"I am unable to find a good rea
son for any more railroads being
built in here," he said, and on the '
other hand called the attention of
the audience to the facilities of the
S. P. company, which were- three
or tour times as extensive as the
Northern lines could offer. Mr.
Stnahorn outlined Hn careful detail
the magnitude of the S. P. lines,
and pointed out that in hit-opinion
this country would be perfectly
served by this great system with
the proposed extension of the O. C.
& E. and other branch lines which
woutd positively be built, such as
the Tule Jake branch, where tihe
necessity for such line could be
shown.
The resolutions as adopted, by
the Merrill voters are as follows:
Whereas: . There is in ,thla Im
