son, the son of Mrs. Emma Nelson

Prior to the return of the indict-
ent, Shepherds counsel was said te
have determined upon a vigorous eff
fort to free the accused man on bond
The lawyers threatened that if neces-
sary they would summon to the bail

nesses. Such a proceeding would in

! Faiman's confession, in which he
declared that he had conspired with
Shepherd TO introduce typhoid germs
into the young millionaire when he
had. made will leaving his S1,000,00C
to Shepherd, was considered by prose
cutors to have been strengthened last
night by Robert White, former stu
dent at Faiman's school, who identified
Shepherd as the man who attended the
school in the fall of 1928.
/ Shepherd, said White, seemed much
interested in bacterology and ia
boratory equipment. His story coin.
cided with the time Faiman said he
attended the school.
Shepherd Not Broken Down.
| The accused man, who has not
broken down under days of question
ing, made the same denial of Whites
story that he has made of Faiman's
and Of John p Marchand, former at
tache of the school who said Shepherd
had written regarding courses.
You're liar" Shepherd shouted
at White.

statement that 100000 had been fixed
by Shepherd and himself as his por-
ton of the McClintock fortune if their
plans were successful was added, prose.

ately after the rich orphans death.
Attorneys for Isabelle Pope, Nc
| Clintock's fance, who waited to marry
him when he died, and who was left
an $4,000 annuity in his will, said they
would contend that Miss Pope is en-.
titled to the same share of the estate
as if She had actually married him
under a construction of the law by
which she might be regarded as his
equitable widow. They were ready to
ask continuance when the petition
of Shepherd to probate the will came
] up in probate court today.
| Ten cousins of McClintock, who have
attacked the will on the grounds that
Shepherd used undue, influence have
announced through their attorneys
that if their contention should be up.
held Miss Pope will receive the annuity
for which the. will provided.
Faiman Versatile In Vocation.

before he told his story to the grand

Meanwhile Mrs. Shepherd, who was
co-guardian with Attorney Alexander
F. Reichmann of young McClintock
reiterated her belief in Shepherds in

IL he should be brought to trial,
She declared the whole case against

money" and said there were many
things regarding the case she had
