nation recently given to the States
attorneys office. In addition some at
tention has been called to circum-
stances surrounding the death years
ago of a partner of Shepherd in the
drug business in Salina. Kan, with
possibility that the body might be
exhumed and examined.
Fortune Built on Fire.
The fortune was amassed in the
ashes of the Chicago fire of 1871 by
William Hickling. who came to this
country an immigrant boy from
England. Hickling's first wife died
soon after their marriage and later
he married Sarah Caswell, a seam
stress. At Hickling's death. his wild
ow married William McClintock,
Hickling's private secretary, who IN
herited the fortune upon her death.
McClintock's second. wife was Emma
Nelson McClintock, mother Of Billy
When McClintock died the estate
went to his widow, and upon her
death, to Billy, who named Shepherd
in his will as his chief beneficiary.
Shepherd became acquainted with
Mrs McClintock through his wife,
who had known her in schooldays. A
visit by the Shepherd family TO the
McClintocks to renew the old acquain-
tance was prolonged for years, and
up to the time of his indictment and
arrest, Shepherd occupied the Nc
Clintock home in a North Shore sub
urb.
Nurse Tells story.
A hint that the founder of the for
tune, Hickling, had died under pecu-
liar circumstances, recently was re-
lated to an assistant States attorney
by Anton Kircher of Chicago. kircher
said he had been a nurse in the
Hickling home in the late 20 and
asserted that Hickling, who then was
about rs years old and bedridden, ha d
frequent discussions with his wife
concerning his will, which he said
she eventually had changed in her
favor.
But short time later the wife
told Hicklng that she knew man
who she was sure could cure him of
his trouble" Kircher was quoted as
saying "A man she called a doctor
called at the house and gave Hick-
ling some pills. And three days later
he died"
Sarah Hickling, the widow, then mar
/ ried McClntock. From that union re-
suited another lost chapter in the grim
biography of the fatal million, when
Lewis Peterson, lawyer of Oceanside,
Calf, looking for assistance in Chicago
in establishing a claim against the Nc
Clintock estate for a California client,
outlined in a letter what he said were
the circumstances of the death of Sarah,
the first Mrs. McClintock.
Lawyers Story Recalled.
Petersons statement was that Billy
McClintock's father once had been ac-
cused in court proceedings OF poisoning
his first wife; that the elder McClintock
had inherited his fortune through d will
signed by woman on her death bed /;
that a suit charging him with an in
trigue similar to that outlined in the
Indictment against Shepherd was filed
against him in Chicago in 1899, and
that the suit was dropped when he
divided the estate with the brother of
his dead wife.
McClintock did not live long to enjoy
the fortune, which passed to his widow,
Emma Nelson McClintock, whose death,
with that of DR.. Olson, now is under in
vestigation.

investigation Of Billy McClintock' S

The former minister concluded by

The quotations attributed by Sem
ator Francois Marshal in the French
Chamber to President Coolidge ap-
parently are an outgrowth Of Presi-
dent Coolidge's remarks here on Feb
ruary 10 to the National Inheritance
and Estate Tax Congress. On that
occasion he said:
Il do not believe that the govern
ment should seek social legislation
in the guise of taxation. We should
approach the question directly, where
the arguments for and against the
proposed legislation may be clearly
presented and universally understood.
II we are to adopt socialism it should
be presented to the people of this
country as socialism and not under
the guise of law to collect rev.

There is a possibility that parking also

what changes should be made in the

Any solution of the parking ques-

sential that all-day parking be stop

On the arterial highways the en-

essary indication on which thorough

| Among other suggestions made by
the engineers were: To limit park

the congested area and to restrict
driving permits to adults physically
| and mentally fit, so that in case OF
accident responsibility may be placed
and the offending one be made TO
compensate for damages.
Narrow streets, it was proposed

people to seek more perfect
union" in the constitution, we must
say with wise old Ben Franklin that
God governs in the affairs of men. -
Ambassador Bryce said the con-
stitutional convention was compos-
ed of the greatest body of men ever
gathered together under a single
roof Sixty-five men were elected
to the conyention-fifty-five attend
ed-thirty- mine actually signed the
constitution. Over half of these
men were college graduates. Eight
were signers of the Declaration of
Independence Among them were
thirty-three lawyers, six planters,
eight business men, one teacher,
one physician, one minister and
two public service men. These
men were comparatively young
their average age was about forty.
Charles pinckney who submitted
the first original draft of the con-
stitution was only twenty-nine
years of age. Alexander Hamilton
the most brilliant man of the con-
vention was only thirty. James
Madison was thirty-six and Ran
dolph was Only thirty-fOur. These
men were not mere theorists. They
were face to face with a great crisis
and they met it in noble fashion.
Washington, who had retired, and
had been suffering Gespondency
over the condition of his country
left sick bed and travelled three
days to reach the convention. Con-
fronting the great problem and
seemingly catching vision of the
future he said-''It is too probable
that no plan we propose will be
adopted. Perhaps another dreadful
conflict is to be sustained. If to
please the people we offer what we
ourselves disapprove how can we
defend it. Let us raise standard
to which the wise and honest can
repair The event is in the hands
of God"
Then after the convention met
and had wasted about four or five
weeks, it was on the point of dis
solution over the controversy be-
tween the large and small states
Passion was running high. Ben
jamin Franklin, standing there be-
meath eighty-three years of age
came to the rescue as he did on
The Winslow mail., 1925-12-18

many occasions with his good hu-
nor and homely wisdom. He was
serving his country when Washing
ton was boy On this particular
occasion he asked that they pause
for prayer as follows:
Il have lived, sir, long time;
and the longer l live the more con-
vincing proofs l see of this truth,
that God governs in the affairs of
men. And if-a sparrow cannot
fall to the ground without His no
tice, is it probable that an empire
can rise without His aid? We have
been assured, sir, in the sacred
writings, that except the~NLord
build the house, they labor in vain
that build it. 1 firmly believe this:
and l also believe that without His
cOncurring aid we shall succeed in
this political building no better
than the builders of Babel we shall
be divided by our little, partial,
local interests, our project will be
confounded. and we ourselves shall
become a reproach and a byword
down to future ages. And, what is
worse, mankind may hereafter
from this unfortunate instance, de-
spair of establishing government by
human wisdom and leave it to
chance, war, conquest"
When the work of convention was
over and the constitution was sign
ed, Franklin arose and addressed
Geo. Washington, the president.
Pointing to the carving of the sun
on the back of the chair he said:
Many times during our delibera-
/ tions l have wondered if that were
a rising or a setting sun. But now
l am firmly convinced tits the ris-
ing sun of a greater empire"
This constitution was formed for
a nation of four millions of people.
Through growth it is meeting the
needs of over hundred millions.
1t is significant that the first act
of the first congress of the United
States provided that the president,
! members of congress members of
all state legislatures, all executive
and judicial officers of the several
states and all officers of the Uni
ted states should take an oath as
follows:
Il do solemnly swear or affirm
that l will support the constitution
