BAIL PLEA DENIED,
SHEPHERD IN CELL
Alleged Slayer of Wealthy
Ward Is BlackmaiI Victim,
His Attorney Says.

CHICAGO, March 2I.-William D..
Shepherd, charged with the murder OF
William Nelson McClintock, his mil
lionaire orphan ward, returned to his
cell tonight until Monday. at least,
when attorneys will continue to fight
out the question of his admission TO
bail In the Criminal Court of Justice
Jacob Hopkins.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice Harry Oh
son of the Municipal Court announced
he would subpoena several witnesses
to appear at the next hearing of the
inquest into the death of the young
millionaire, which is set for Monday
morning. Justice Olson refused to
divulge the names of the witnesses he
will ask to appear.
Attorneys for Shepherd today sought
to impeach the testimony of Charles
c. Faiman, head of the National Uni
versity OF Sciences, as given in earlier
hearings of the coroner's inquest.
Their effort was fruitless. however,
and met with stern opposition at the
hands or the State. Justice Hopkins
finally asking both sides to present
authorities to him on Monday on the
question of bail for capital offense.
BlackmaiI Plot Charged.
A desire to blackmail Shepherd on the
part of F'aiman and others. and a
scheme to break the will of young Nc
Ciintock, which gave the greater part of
his fortune TO his foster father, are the
motives for the activities against Shep-
herd. William Scott Stewart noted
criminal attorney, told the court in his
plea for bail for Shepherd.
Robert L. Grove. States attorney. de-
manded Stewart's motion be dismissed
on the ground that the States case all
though circumstantial, was supported by
4 confession Of Faiman that he and
Shepherd had plotted McClntock's s
death by incubation of typhoid germs.
F'aiman is held under guard in a hotel
