There had been no fire near there
Help was Immediately summoned by

Malay farm but was soon put out
before doing damage. .
The farm tools and a small part OF
the household goods were saved. All
the clothing belonging to Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith and the small child were
burned with many other things.

Chief Justice Wilson

"The death of ex-Chief Justice
Cornish, while not entirely unexpect-
ed, came, with it's suddenness, as a
distinct shock to every member of
the court. The judicial ties are so
strong and our relations SO intimate
that the severing of any one of them
brings a sense of personal loss.
Zone can not briefly, with his death
so recent, adequately express our
appreciation of our former associate
and chief. The loss to the state and
the public service came with his en-
forced retirement, but his death
again reminds us how great 1t was.
His was a remarkable personality,
patient, kindly. scholarly, cultured,
dignified and courteous, but full of
vigor and vitality; he was ideally
fitted for service on the bench. His
we'll trained mind was strong, clear
and logical in all its processes, COM
polling in it's reasoning. and sound
in it's conclusions, with natural in
stinct for justice and fair dealing.
His work upon the bench will
stand as long as our government
survives as monument to the serv-
ice to the public which he rendered
when he abandoned the material adj
vantages of lucrative practice at
the bar for the service of his state
and fellow men upon the bench.
HE loved the work, and without a
dissenting voice has taken his place
among the great jurists of our state.
and if he had been called to broad
err field would have unquestionably
occupied an exalted place among the
great iurists of this land"

RIVAL COUNSEL IN
TRIAL. OF SHEPHERD
THRILL HEARERS

chicago, June 24.-(AP)-Two word
pictures of William D. Shepherd were
painted for the jury in his murder
trial today. That of a magnanimous
churchman. a victim of a diabolic
plot. prosecuted by powerful interests
bent upon breaking a $1,000 900 will,
was the portrayal the Jurors were left
to ponder over when an early adjourn
ment cut short the opening argument
of William Scott Stewart, chief of
defense counsel.
Just back of it, however, was the
representation of Shepherd as a dia-
bolic plot which it had introduced
a new species of murder in Illinois,
a man who had admitted he used
typhoid germs to Stay his rich foster
son, Billy McClintock, and worthy of
death upon the gallows. Such was
the painting of George z. German, first
assistant states attorney. in opening
plea for the state.
A crowded courtroom was electrified
by Stewards opening statements.
Our platform in this case is that
Shepherd is innocent" shouted Stew
art. IF you gentlemen think Shep-
herd had dealings with Faiman, hang
him! You are either dealing with a
man who killed and should be hanged
or with a man who is the victim of
the vilest plot ever heard of.
IF you believe he dealt with Fai-
man, hang him!"
Let the verdict In this case say in
no unmistakable terms: Obey the law;
the wages of sin is DEATH" concluded
German.
Upon completion of Stewards open
ing address, probably before noon to-
morrow, his associate, w. w. OBrien'
will appeal to the jury.
Robert E Grove, states attorney,
will follow in the closing argument of
the trial. He believes the case will
reach the jury Friday.
The lawyers are speaking without
time restriction. Prosecutor Grove,
Judge Harry Olson, Alexander r.
Reichmann, Chicago newspapers and
various witnesses for the prosecution
were subjects for severe tyrades In
Stewards argument
Charles c. Faiman, chief accuser OF
Shepherd and joint yindicted with
him, was dealt with in particularly
harsh language. Faiman testified ne
gave Shepherd typhoid germs. and
taught him how to use them TO stay
young McClintock before his proposed
marriage to Miss Isabelle Pope could
nullify the will in which the youth
had named Shepherd chief beneficiary
