Described Typhoid's Course.

Fafman said that he told Shepherd
about the course typhoid fever took
in different patients.
Did you discuss the boys suscepti-
bility?' Faiman was asked.
Yes" was his reply.
At a meeting in a hotel in Septem-
Der, 1924, Faiman's statement said,
I'VE discussed especially the methods
of administering the typhoid cultures.
We also talked about Billy, and
Shepherd said it was about time he
made his WILL and also about time to
dispose of him. He said it was up to
him entirely as to how the will was
to be made, and that S1,O00,000 was
involved.
Il asked him about his cultures,
and he said they were all right.
Il told him to be careful not to in

thought it would be best"
Did he ever mention how the wit
nesses signed the will, or if undue
influence was used to make McClin-
took sign?" Faiman was asked
He told me that whatever he said
would be all right, the bacteriology
teacher answered.
Der, 1924, Faiman said, when ''he came
to my office and told me the big prop
osition was in progress"
1t was at that time, Faiman said,
that Shepherd searched through the
school letter file and regained let
ter he had written regarding a course
of study there.
When Shepherd took the letter Fai-
man said, he began to speculate on
Just where he come in"
az was figuring on the whole prop
osition falling through and 1 wanted
something" Faiman was quoted.
Shepherd told him the whole plan
was working out all right, and that
Faiman should not worry, the teacher
said.
Asked what he wanted, Faiman
said he replied he was entitled to
one fourth of the whole deal.
He laughed and said Quit your kid

II can't afford to take a chance

herd II have $4,000 sunk in the
school without worrying about any

said.

things were getting hot" Inquiries
were being made into the death of
the youth, and stories were going
about. Faiman said he again calmed
Shepherds fears.
Faiman said his school received
numerous telephone calls in which he
was warned to mind his own bust
ness" A letter apparently written by
a woman also admonished him I0
mind his own business"
Faiman was present under guard
when his statement was read by a
shorthand reporter to three assistant
States attorneys and newspaper men.
He grinned at times, particularly at
the mention of the money he asserted
Shepherd had agreed TO give him.
After the reading Faiman was
taken to a restaurant and later was
permitted to rest.

man, head OF a school of bacteriology,
told Robert E. Grove, States attor-
ney, today.
The amount was decided upon,
Faiman said. after he first had de
manded s25O.000, reduced the amount
to 100000 and finally compromised
upon a promise of 100000 after nu-
merous conferences with Shepherd.
Faiman said that he advised the
method Of administering the germs
and advised Shepherd as to further
steps to assure the death of the rich
youth.
approximately a dozen conferences
were recounted in Faiman's state
ment and brought his association
with Shepherd up to a time after Nc
Clintock's death, when, Faiman said,
Shepherd said he was going away

Advised Manner of Giving Germs.
Faiman's statement did not incrim-
AAAolo olIcphtIu III the actual ma n
ner of administering the germs but
said that the school head had coached
Shepherd along that line. informing
him that bacilli best could be given in
cold water
Faiman's statement as announced
by the Statfs attorney said Shep-
herd kept alive the germs in three
test tubes he received originally for
| a period of foIEr or five months, trans
ferring them twice.
The announced statement contained
a question b7 Joseph Savage. as

whether Faiman realized the Grim

and his reply that he did.

| Diphtheria incubation was abandon

adult.
After typhoid fever was well de-
veloped in young McCiintock. Faiman
said, Shepherd was anxious because
doctor had been called in. However,
Faiman said, he reassured Shepherd
by telling him that should the physi-
clan administer vaccine it would not
counteract the bacilli if the case were
fairly well developed.
