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." .
