Witness in Trial.
 Chicago, June F R--Today will see the end of the states case against William Darling Shepherd, said Joseph P. Savage, assistant states attorney, shortly before court opened this morning.
 Claims Motive Proved
 At this time. I think can safely say that the state has proved that Shepherd had motive for staying William N. McClintock, his million aire foster son, and today we will try to establish that he actually did," said Savage.
 "Faiman will be our last witness, probably late today, and if the jury believes him, we will obtain Shep- herds conviction if the jury does not, then that Is another story"
 Charles c. Faiman, proprietor of the small National University of Sciences of Chicago, was indicted swith Shepherd after he testified that for a promise Of s1OO,oO0 he taught Shepherd how to kill the rich youth and supplied live typhoid germs for the deed.
 Nurse Is Witness
 Court opened with Miss Marie Hall, a nurse, who attended young McClintock in his last illness, the first witness.
 Miss Hall testified that upon her arrival at the Shepherd -McClintock home a week after McClintock be- came ill the youth was delirious. She testified also that Shepherd had told her that Billy" had said prior to a doctors diagnosis, that he had typhoid fever and that Shepherd told her he had given the youth a cathartic.
 Upon cross- examination, the nurse said. she had acted upon specific in- structions of the doctors. She said she observed nothing unusual at the Shepherd home and that Shepherd appeared as would the father of an i'll son. Shepherd expressed anxiety over the boys condition, she testi- fled.
 Doctors Exclude Girl
 Miss Hall testified also that Miss Isabelle Pope, flancee of "Billy" was excluded from the sick room in the final stages of the youths Illness upon orders of the doctors. The nurse admitted that in the prescrib- ed treatment of the youth. she ad- ministered hypodermic injections, thereby accounting for three punc- lures in young McClintock's arm noted in the post mortem examina- ton December 24, 1924, after he had been dead twenty days.
 shepherd Asked Money
 L, I. McArthur, assistant secre- tary of the Northern Trust Co.,, tes- tihed that Shepherd visited him during Billy's illness and sought ad- vance of money. The expenses of Billy's illness had caused his per sonal finances to run low, McArthur said. He told Shepherd, McArthur said. that he could not advance money but if the bills were sent in they would be paid by the Northern Trust which was in custody of the st.n0O,O ,O00 McClintock estate.
 McArthur also testified that shep- herd had told him Billy said at the inception of his illness that he fear ed it was typhoid. McArthur said he remarked on that comment as strange.
 The Trust company official was not cross-examined further than this question by w. g, Stewart, chief of defense counsel:
 So far as you know, all the state ments Mir. Shepherd made were true?"
 Yes" was the response.
 W A. Miller, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, testified as to an interview he had with Shepherd shortly after McClintocks death In which the defendant was quoted as having said the youth had loved his foster parents.
