nounced that he could live but a
short time.
But love intervened and thwarted
fate. While others waited for Shep-
herd to die. Julia nursed him back
to health. From the moment he was
fully recovered they were always
seen about town together.
For a while their courtship did
not have the sanction of Julia's par
ents. The girls sister looked upon
it with disfavor., So did the towns
people.
Even before she met Shepherd
Julia Graf was acquainted with
Emma Nelson, mother of "Billy"
McClintock. The two had gone to
school together in Kansas.
When Julia learned that her old
chum had come into the McClintock
fortune, she visited her in Chicago.
Mrs. McC1intock was then a widow
and lived with her son, William.
Mrs. Shepherd extended her visit
longer than she had expected to, and
sent for her husband. Before long
Shepherd was handling Mrs. Nc
Clintock's financial affairs.
To tell people here that Mrs. Shep-
herd had knowledge Of plot to kill
Mrs. McClintock and her son to gain
the fortune is hard task.
They insist Julia wouldn't be mix
ed up in anything like that.

Tuesday before he was questioned
for jury service.
Alleged Bribe Offered
Barry said he was acquainted with
the man who urged him to "work
your way into the jury" and prom
ised "to make it we'll worth your
while" His story led to the brief
detention of a private detective
agency head who was released when
Barry said he was not the man.
After he had told detective that
he had been approached, Barry was
excused from jury service and later
made his statement to the prosecu-

Barry's was not the only information
he had and that his inquiry includ-
