Jury Silent on RaIIoting

The members would not divulge the
number Of ballots taken. nor the
methods by which they reached tnai
agreement They said that they had
taken a collective oath not to reveal
the record of the balloting.
AS result of the verdict Shep-
herd tonight walked from the coun-
ty Jail free man after having been
in custody since March Is last.
He still faces another murder
charge. but Judge Thomas J. Lynch
agreed to permit him to sign his own
bond.
At the same time the coroner's Jury
recommended he be held for the mur-
der of Bill McClintock 1t declared
that he be held for the murder also
of Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock,
Billy's mother, seventeen years ago.
1t is that charge which still hangs
over his head. although tonight it
was not believed by Shepherds at
torneys that he ever would be
brought to trial on it.
Shepherds face was wreathed in
smiles as he heard the verdict read
by the court clerk and he leaped for
ward to thank the jurors who had ac-
Quilted him.
One day less than six weeks ago,
the first venireman took his seat in
the jury box and the curtain was
rolled up on the drama of the peo-
pie versus Shepherd, accused of US
ing typhoid germs to murder his
millionaire foster son, William Nell
son McClintock, a youth just turn
ed 81.
Persecution was the plea of the
defense, a persecution instigated and
forced by powerful interests bent
upon breaking the will of young Nc
Clintock made in favor of Shepherd
a few months before he was over
taken by typhoid fever.
A diabolic plotter, Shepherd was
termed by the prosecution, man
who began to scheme to claim the
McClintock fortune seventeen years
ago, when he first went with his wife
to live with Mrs. Emma Nelson Me-
Clintock. schoolday friend of Mrs.
Shepherd, and mother of Billy Nc
Clintock.
The staying of Young McClintock
just in time to prevent his multiplying
i the will by marrying Miss Isabelle
Pope, young school teacher. was
| called the last sinister act of the
long conspiracy.
Mrs. Julia Shepherd, wife of the
defendant, did not wait in the court
room for the verdict. She was
forced by nervousness and physical
weakness to retreat to a hotel. Hen
ry Shepherd of Little Rock, Ark, a
| brother of the man whose fate hung
in the balance, waited in the court-
| room.
The great majority of spectators
left the court room as the hours
| paSSed.

chant and investor to keep out OF
debt.
General business is beginning to
pick up. The Babson chart, which
reached the low point of 2 per cent
below normal in May Of this year. Is
now II per cen above normal. Most
of the business statistics show an inn
proved situation, and there is also a
distinctly better sentiment prevailing
throughout the country. OF course,
early frosts have caused disappolnt-
ment in certain sections, and, as
usual the farmer is seeing the dark
side instead of the sunny side. Per
Sonally / believe that the crops for
1925 will show up distinctly better
than 1924.
An analysis among business men
seems to show that the complaint is
not in the volume of business, but in
the profits. Hence business men
should look for ways Of increasing
efficiency rather than mourning about
conditions. Fundamental conditions
as Il whole were never better than
today I mention some of these dan
ger signals not with the purpose of
discouraging any one, but simply as
a warning that we may not do any
thing to hurt these fundamentally
good condidtions. We live in the finest
country in existence, and we should
employ every means to keep ii so.

Interest Greater Than Loan.
The great dead weight Of interest
charges Is being most forcefully
brought to the attention Of the world
today in connection with the refund
ing OF the foreign loans 1t will be
remembered that in the case Of the
Belgian debt. which was settled a few
weeks ago. the accumulated in
terest amounted to more than the
original loan. This will be even more
clearly emphasized when the refund
ing of the French and Italian debts
is discussed.
In both of these cases the published
figures will probably show that the
interest is today greater figure than
the original debt. and will become. in
the course of years, an almost un-
believably large sum. The following
figures give the facts regarding Great
Britain and Belgium and four smaller
countries which are now negotiating
for settlement:
