Prosecution Uses Three Wit
nesses to Show Accused
Had Guilty Knowledge
HOPE TO COMPLETE
EVIDENCE LATE TODAY
Testimony Shows McCIin-
took Knew His Plight.
BY Edward e. Der-r
United Press Sfdr Correspondent

CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO
June 17.-From the testimony OF
three witnesses the State today at
tempted to prove that William D
Shepherd had guilty knowledge" OF
Billy McClintocks fatal illness. Shep
herd is on trial, accused Of murder
ing young McClintock by feeding
him typhoid germs.
Each Of the witnesses testified that
Shepherd made statements to the
effect that Billy knew he had typhoid
fever even before his physicians
diagnosed the case as such.
Strongest Link
''It is one of the strongest linke
in our circumstantial case against
Shepherd, States Attorney Robert
E. Grove declared.
This man had a guilty con.
science. He had given Billy typhoid
germs and then gave him castor oil
so that the germs could do their
work. The fact that Shepherd
quoted Billy as saying that he had
typhoid fever even before doctors
were called in shows Shepherd is
guilty"
Ebert Allen, a court reporter,
identified notes which he took when
Shepherd was first questioned by
Grove In regard to the case.
May Conclude Today
The notes showed that Shepherd
said:
Billy came home on Sunday
afternoon. complaining he was i'll.
He said he thought he had typhoid
fever"
Two witnesses had preceded Allen
on the witnss stand with testimony
Of similar nature.
Grove was driving the final spikes
in his case today, hoping to com.
plete his evidence this afternoon
with the testimony of DR." C. c.
Faiman, who confessed giving
Shepherd typhoid germs for the
purpose Of killing young McClin
took.

Judge Hines also sustained mo-
tion of defendants filed hast Fri
day that the State be required to
turn over to them the dying dec
laration and the sheet of the no
tel register In Hammond, where
the girl is said to have taken the
poison.
Prosecutor William H. Reny was
forced to produce the documents
Tuesday in a sweeping victory for
the defense
I'm as much as they have been
produced, let the records show that
the defense motion filed Friday is
sustained" said Judge Hines.
Judge Hines ruling on the objec-
tions, however. does not mean that
the State will relinquish efforts to
have the dying statement admitted
later.

For the first time Noblesville lost
its air of attending an interesting
little side show and seemed to be-
come imbued with something Of
tragedy OF the case.
Women wept openly as DIR. Kings
bury told of the yohng woman's
physical condition, and there was
an audible gasp when in describing
bruises and wounds on Miss Ober-
holtzer's body, he said she told him
some Of them were inflicted by
Stephenson with his teeth.
The courtroom was filled to
capacity when DR.. Kingsbury took
the stand.
Previous to that the States case
was bolstered by testimony of Grif-
fifth E. Dean, Indianapolis attorney.

1t was a terrible ordeal for the
Oberholtzer family. Mr.. Oberholtz-
er buried his head in his hands apd

verge of collapse. Mrs. Oberholtzer,
whose splendid calm has been ad-
mirable under trying conditions
found the strain almost too great
to bear. and several times appeared
to be on the verge of breaking down.
The brother. Marshall. with head
erect. face grim and calm listened
to every word intently.
Stephenson paled a trifle as the
weight of the physicians story
fell upon him, but he followed
every bit of the testimony care
fully, comparing it bit by bit with
the typewriter copy of Miss Ober-
holtzer's dying statement.
Occasionally he would smile as
he discovered a discrepancy between
the statement and the story told
by Miss Oberholtzer to DIR. Kings
bury.
DIR. Kingsbury said he was forty
years old and had practiced medi.
