CHICAGO, May 6.-Mrs. Julie Shep-
herd, who went into hiding after a
Coroner's jury yesterday recommend
ed that she be held as an accessory
TO the murder of William n. McClin-
took, boy millionaire, and his mother,
Mrs. Emma Nelson MCClintock, plan
ned to give herself up in court today,
her attorneys announced. They said
they anticipated no difficulty in OBJ
IaininG bail.
Her husband, William D. Shepherd,
@ept last night in his cell in the
county Jail. where he has been held
since March is and thrice denied bail
after he was indicted, charged with
the murder of McClintock.
Mrs. Shepherd was angered by the
finding of the coroner's jury against
her and the accusations made against
her by Chief Justice Harry Olson of
the Municipal Court, whose late
brother, DIR. Oscar Olson, was the Nc
Clintock family physician and whose
death the judge had also questioned.
Calls Olson "Fiendish."
"I hope there will be fitting pun
tShment for the fiendiShneSS of Judge
Olson" Mrs shepherd exclaimed
shortly before she fled from the Nc
Clintock home in Kenilworth, a North
Shore suburb. where Shepherd and
his wife had lived several years with
their foster son, BILLY" McClintock.
The house, generally known as the
Shepherd home, actually belongs to
The estate of young McClintock. At
1ornets +. II. Ston, partner of Shep-
herd. himself lawyer, and w. Stew
art, the latter chief counsel for Shep-
herd, indicated they were pleased with
the developments and referred to Mrs.
' shepherd as "a martyr"
Called Lady Macbeth"
Mrs. Shepherd was described as a
'Lady Macbeth" by Judge Olson, in
Etigator of the inquiry, before the
CorOner'S jury, which made its final
report last night.
Judge Olson characterized Mrs.
Shepherd as cold and purposeful-a
strong, masculine woman" and her
husband as soft and weak willed, un-
tit to earn a living for himself"
He charged that a 16-year-old con-
spiracy existed, which eliminated in
young McClintock's death after he
had made a will leaving the bulk of
his estate to Shepherd.
The Coroner'S jury concurred in the
action of the grand jury in indicting
Shepherd and Charles c. Faiman, who
confessed Shepherd offered him $780,
900 for typhoid germs to give Nc
Shepherd of guilty knowledge as to
the administration of typhoid germs
or other manner causing the death of
the deceased" F"
Accused in Old Case.
Shepherd also was recommended
held on a murder charge, with his
wife as an accessory, in the death 16
: years ago of Mrs. Emma Nelson Nc
1hntock. The jury found Mrs. Nc
CElntock died of mercury poisoning,
administered by Shepherd, of which
his wife had guilty knowledge" Mer-
curry was found in her eXhumed body.
The jury was unable to fix the cause
OF death three years ago of DIR. Oscar
Olson, brother of Judge Olson and
friend of the NIcClintocks No poison
was found in his exhumed body.
The findings ended a five-month in
veStigation, in which bodies were
disinterred. 10 witnesses examined and
1000 pages of testimony taken, and
came after Judge Olson spent several
hours in a scathing denunciation of
the Shepherds.
Robert E. Grove. States attorney.
IN a statement after the jury's re-
port, said: TT is unfortunate at this
time In the case against Shepherd, set
for trial on May IS, that the coroner
OF this county thinks the coroner's
Jury is the grand jury and that the
chief justice of the Municipal Court
(Judge Olson) thinks he is the States
attorney of this county"
The prosecutor would not amplify
his statement, but it was taken to
mean that responsibility had been
shifted to the States attorneys office
by holding Mrs. Shepherd at a time
when its activities were centered in
preparing for Shepherds s trial,
