SHEPHERD Case
Being PROBED
Defense Denies Faiman
Ever Had Germs in
His School; Freedom
to Be Asked Again
(By The Associated Press.>

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 28-Edward r.
the inquiry that led to the indictment
of William ID. Shepherd as the slayer
of his foster son, William McClintock.
orphan millionaire, was questioned by
states attorneys early today on infor-
nation that he had been offered $4,000
to leave the city. Detectives were sent
ou to bring in also for questioning the
head of a detective agency who was
said to have made the offer. Clark
formerly was salesman of the National
University of Sciences, whose head,
Charles c. Faiman, was indicted jointly
with Shepherd after he said he had
given Shepherd typhoid germs and in
structions on administering them to
McClintock.
A declaration that Faiman never had
any germ cultures in his school was
made by Mrs. Luella Rhuebell, who
said she formerly was secretary Of the
school, and who yesterday obtained
writ of replevin for the recovery from
her landlord of certain documents she
said would have a bearing on the Shep
herd case. The documents which, she
said, had been taken from her last
Monday would clear Sepherd of the
charges against him, she declared.
Another assertion that Faiman's tes-
timony would be discredited came from
William Scott Stewart, Shepherds at
torney, who served notice on Robert E.
Grove, states attorney, that he would
apply for rehearing on his motion.
denied Wednesday, to have Shepherd
released on bail pending trial. Faiman
and others who appeared before the
grand jury which indicted Shepherd,
testified at the first bail hearing. Prose-
cutors will oppose Stewards motion.
Meanwhile search for any poison
traces in the bodies of Mrs. Emma Mel
son McCintock. mother Of William, and
DR.. Oscar Olson, exhumed yesterday,
continued today. This was decided up
on last night despite the primary dis
covery that evidences Of heart disease
existed in both sides. A complete
chemical analysis Of the organs of the
bodies will take at least month, Dr.
William d. McNally, coroner's physi.
clan, estimated.

First German Vote On
Leader In History of
Country Set Tomorrow

assembly in 1919 by which he was de-
signated a provisional president. At
various times during the ensuing years
he urged that his provisional status be
ended but it was deemed unwise to
cast the country into the thores of a
presidential election and it was by act
of the reichstag in October 1921, that,
his provisional status was changed to a
regular one. his term to expire June
30, 1925. His sudden death advanced
this date.
The law for election of the president
provides that a candidate must obtain
a clear majority of all the ovtes cast
to be declared elected. As there are
seven candidates in the running, no,
body in Germany seriously believes that
any candidate can obtain a majority.
The law therefore provides that Sec
ond ballot shall be taken, and this sec
ond election day has already been fix
ed for April 26.
This time the candidate obtaining
the highest number of votes will be de-
clared elected, regardless of how large
a vote the various opponents may roll
up in the aggregate. Entirely new can
didates may be named by the various
parties or combinations of parties for
the second election.
The presidents term is for seven
years. and he may be reelected as Of
ten as he can muster the necessary
votes. Woman have the same right to
vote as men. and. like the men, obtain
this privilege on arriving at their
twentieth year.

Tunney concentrated his fire almost
entirely on Grebs heart and body, land
