In short time the whole ice lane
froze tight, gripping the N-24 also.
We took two soundings at our land

During the following days we
studied the drift conditions and OBJ

also the meteorological situation.
While flying northward we had ''ob-
served" an area of about 100 900

by our soundinGs, we therefore
thought it most improbable that We
would find any land further north on

STORY Of GERMS
At SHEPHERD TRIAL
Called by Court When State
Declines to Use Him
as Witness.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO. June 1S-His sponsor
ship relinquished by the prosecution
which for many weeks has had him
under close guard, as its proclaimed
chief witness, Charles C. Faiman was
called as n courts witness today in
the Shepherd murder trial. He took
the witness stand for direct examina-
tion by Judge Thomas j. Lynch at
l1:08 am.
Court recessed until o'clock with
Faiman still on the stand. The pros
ecution had concluded its cross-exami-
nation and defense counsel Stewart
had undertaken the task of breaking
down his story
Faiman was called by the couSt
over the bitter protest of the defense
which argued that the move would
prejudice the jury and open avenues
of cross-examination for the State,
which otherwise would be denied.
Not Vouching for Witness.
The prosecution yesterday requested
that Faiman be summoned by the
court. The defense attorneys. W. S.
Stewart and w. w. O'Brien, said they
would waive objection only if States
Attorney Grove would say the wit
ness was mot worthy of belief"
Mr.. Grove replied he would not say
that.
"It simply means" he told the
judge. that the State does not vouch
for him and does not wish to be
bound by his testimony, that of a
man jointly indicted with the defend
ant and a confessed accomplice, who

story"
The defense contended that Mr.
Grove was not acting in good faith.
Judge Lynch today decided to call
Faiman as a courts witness, interro-
gate him on direct evidence and then
permit the State and defense in turn
to cross examine.
Faiman, a dapper little blond man,
launched Immediately into his accuSa-
ton of Shepherd after Judge Lynch
had asked him two questions of identi
fication.
Voice Barely Audible.
He talked in a barely audible voice,
glanced nervously from the judge to
the jury, to counsel, and shifted about
in the witness chair.
do you know Shepherd?" was the
courts third question.
Yes, SIR" was the reply.
did you have any dealings with
him." asked Judge Lynch.
Yes"
Tell the jury about it, directed the
court, and the man who was indicted
with Shepherd was off on the story the
State has said it depends upon to con-
vict Shepherd.
Thrice previously he had told story
that he gave Shepherd typhoid ba-
cilli and taught him how to slay young
BILLY" McClintock with them for a
promise of 100000 from the 81 ,000, 900
estate the youth had willed to Shep-
herd.
Faiman, proprietor of the National
University of Sciences, a school housed
in an old brick residence, said Shep-
herd sent him a letter inquiring about
course in bacteriology, and that
after he had sent a representative to
see Shepherd the accused man came
to his institution.
Shepherd said he wanted to take a
course in criminal bacteriology, Fai-
man said. Shepherd is a lawyer.
