'Billy sent me a memorandum
while he was at Dartmouth of what
he wanted embodied in his will. He
had told me he meant to make a
will as soon as he was of age, and
that he wanted me to prepare it, I
submitted to him draft. It was
his idea to make Miss Pope an an

Says Miss Pope Will Get Annuity

the course she has taken I doubt If
I would give more than he intended

Asked about reports that the rel
atives might give her a share in the
estate if they were successful in
overthrowing the will, he smiled:
LET her try to get it from them"
Referring to quoted statements of
Miss Pope that she never has had
any suspicion of Mr.. Shepherd, he
said: why should she?'
Shepherd arrived in Chicago to-
day from Albuquerque, N. M, to
take part in the investigation.

Typhoid Germs Revealed
The autopsy over the exhumed
body Of McClintock has disclosed the
presence of typhoid germs, but has
not determined the cause of death,
according to Coroner Oscar Wolff.
En- route to Chicago last night,
Shepherd, at Kansas City, declared
he had never seen a typhoid germ
in my life"
He said he had gone to the lab
oratory for treatments after an OPP
Grafton. The entire investigation, ne
said, has resulted from efforts Of dis
tant relatives of McClintock in Kan
sas to have the will discredited be-
cause they had not been included.
Breidigans statement was made
public by George E. German, assist
ant states attorney, at the same
time that the prosecutors office an
nounced it was investigating ell pos
sibilities OF the use, not excluding
that of typhoid incubation and i'm
proper feeding Of the patient to
hasten or aggravate his illness.
Examination Of DR.. Rupert Stolp,
who signed the death certificate Civ
ing typhoid as the cause of McClin-
tock's death, had failed to elicit any
confirmation of these possibilities,
Joseph Savage, assistant states at
torney, said. DR.. Stolp disclosed,
however, the prosecutor said, that
when he was first called in Novem-
Der %, McClint, ok seemed to be suf-
fering from an affection OF the nose
and throat, and while he seemed very
i'll, showed no symptoms of typhoid
fever until few days later.
Coroner's chemists said it would
take two or three more days to COM
plete the analyses OF the necropsy
and determine the exact cause Of
death.
