CRIMINAL COURT HOUSE, CHI CAGO, June 12. (United News) "Our proof of William Darling Shep herd's guilt now Is complete," State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe told the United News today. "The arrival In court of Robert White, who will corroborate the testimony - of Charles C. Falman from whom Shepherd obtained ty. phold germs, has added the neces. sary link to our chain ot evidence that Shepherd murdered Billy Mc Cllntock." White told Crowe he fled Chicago because W. W. O'Brien, one of Shepherd's attorneys, had threaten ed him. The abrupt O'Brien immediately characterized White as "a liar." In the hotel room where he Is confined under guard, White Is being grilled by Crowe's assistants in an effort to learn more of the charge against U'Bileu. . Twice during the day the eyes of spectators opened wide, and there was unconscious stirring about In court for better views ot the quick ening drama. "Little Sunshine" , The first time was when White, whose story is essential .to . the state's case, nonchalantly strolled into the court room, accompanied by his wife and two children. The second when Estelle Gehllng, Shep herd's nurse during an Illness long past, but more recently his' "little sunshine" and . a pretty, buxom young woman in any company, moved through the well of the court to take the stand. As keen as any court fan for a good look at Estelle was Mrs. Shep herd, the sombrely-clad wife of the accused man. Shepherd's letters to Estelle, read at the coroner's In quest over young McCllntock's body revealed the friendship which exist ed between them following Shep herd's illness seven years ago. The term "my little sunshine" was Shep herd's own contrivance to express his feeling for Estelle, and Mra. Shepherd, who had not previously seen the woman, who thus had roused her husband to such inspir ed prose, permitted curiosity to re move her eyes from the prayer book In ber lap, to the alluring young woman on the stand. One of the letters with which Crowe hopes to prove that Shepherd was penniless, would therefore have motive for plotting to obtain the control of the McCllntock fortune, read In part as follows: "I'm. Just Mr. Nobody from no where, going nowhere. Our friend ship will have to end." .
