COUNTRY CLUB EMPLOYE
ACQUITTED OF FRAUD
Indictment Against John w.
Stinch comb Fails to Specify Sum
Taken, Ruling at Rockville.
Special Dispatch to The star.

ROCKVILLE Md. January IL
John W. Stinchcomb of WaShin gtou
and Baltimore former employe of
the Congressional Country Club and
said to belong to a prominent Georgia
family, was acquitted by Judge Robert
B. Peter in the Circuit Court here Of
d charge of obtaining money unde er
false pretenseS. He demurred TO the
Indictment on the ground that ii did
not specify the amount OF money
obtained and Judge Peter sustained d
the demurrer and ordered his release.
Some time after Stinchcomb left the
employ of the club. ii is said. he OBJ
tanned something like $50 from Regi-
nald II. Ring, mana ger of the club,
on rather Shrewd scheme. Ii is
charged that he telephoned out from
Washington in the name of promi-
nent member of the club stating that
a package would be sent out by a
messenger and asked Ring TO pay
the charges, for which he would be
REIN mbuTsed on the next visit of the
pretended member of the club. When
the package was presented, Ring. so
he said. paid the charges. The
package was later found to be
nothing more than a neatly wrapped
up brick and Stinchcomb's arrest
followed few days later
1t is understood that Stinchcomb
was expected to plead guilty and
that Judge Peter was to suspend
sentence, the club officials having
interceded in the young mans behalf.
but the discovery of the defect in the
Indictment made that procedure un-
necessary.

Shepard's Fate Soon
To Be Decided by Jury
ATTENTION OF NATION FOCUSED
ON MecLINTLock TYPHOID
GERM MURDER CASE

In a Chicago court room sits law
yer-interested in a criminal case as
he has never been interested before
He is William Darling Shepherd now
ON trial, charged with having killed
his millionaire orphan" ward, VIM
~ McClintock with typhoid garms.
In the evidence now being introduc
ed, the State will attempt to show
that a plot more than twenty years
old existed in the Shepherd home tc
obtain the McClintock fortune.
Shepherd and his wife, Julie G.
Shepherd, were co-guardians of Billy
McClintock through the will of Mrs
McClintock who died in 1909
The Shepherds were living with
Mrs McClintock at that time, Mrs
Shepherd and Mrs. McClintock having
been school day friends McClintock
Sr. was killed in an automobile acct
dent shortly after the birth of Billy
which brought the Shepherds into
Young McClintock, who had just
passed his twenty-first birthday and
was engaged to be married to Miss
Isabelle Pope, died in the Shepherd
McClintock home, Dec. A. 1924
A WILL drawn by Shepherd and at
tested by Shepherds house servant a
few months after young McClintock
had reached his majority, made the
Shepherds chief beneficiary. 1t also
provided for Isabelle Pope an annuity
of $4,000.
The fact that Miss Pope had waited
outside the sick room with license
TO marry him, as young McClintock
died, attracted public attention to the
case.
Rumor followed rumor as to the
attitude of the Shepherds toward
their wards finance at that time,
until the district attorney took notice
and an investigation was started.
The investigation developed evil
dence which brought Harry Olson, a
Municipal Court Chief Justice, into
the case with charges that the plot of
the Shepherds to obtain the McClin-
took fortune also involved the deaths
of McClintock's mother and DR.. Oscar
Olson, the judges brother who had
been the McClintock's physician.
In the midst of a Coroner's inquest
which Judge Olson instigated, Shep-
herd was indicted March 18th, this
year.
The disinterred bodies of Mrs. Nc
ClintOck and Dr. Olson, buried six.
teen and three years, respectively, re
vealed mercury in sufficient amount
in Mrs. McClintocks body to have
caused death, examiners say.
The confession of G. C Faiman,
head of science school in Chicago,
that he had supplied Shepherd with
typhoid germs, taught him to keep
them and administer them-and that
he was promised 100000 is the
states strongest card.
Faiman was jointly indicted with
Shepherd but granted separate trial
Mrs. Shepherd was named in the
verdict by the Coroner's Jury as being
