Out of court files covered with the
dust of three decades has come an
astonishing development in the in
vestigation Of the death of William
McClintock, Chicago's ''millionaire
orphan"
1t is charged that McClintock's
father obtained his wife's fortune
under circumstances which resulted
in the same charges being brought
against him as are now leveled at
William d. Shepherd.
Shepherd is accused of having
killed young McClntock by innocu-
lating him with germs in order to
gain the fortune. McCllntock Sr.,
it is limited, secured control of her
fortune by poisoning his wife. Mrs.
Sarah A. Hickling McClintock.
A suit filed in Chicago in 1899
first revealed the charges and now
the suit may be reopened in an cf-
fort to keep Shepherd, though he be
cleared of the murder charge, from
gaining the fortune.

he would come into the estate.
