SQUADS or detectives were ordered
out to hunt the missing witness,
German announced.
White is the second States wit.
ness TO disappear. Several days ago
Miss Estelle Ceiling. a nurse who
was an acquaintance of Shepherd,
was reported missing from her
apartment and so far has not been
located.
Weakens Case
''If we fail to find Mr.. White. our
case viii be materially weakened" 4"
German said. I'VE will use every
power at our command TO find him."
White. who was once an employe
of the National University of Sci
ences. an alleged quack medical
school where Shepherd is said to
have obtained the typhoid germs
with which to inoculate young Nc
Clintock, is one of the few persons
who was able TO identify Shepherd
as a caller at the institution.
DIR" Charles c. Fairman, head
OF the school. confessed" that
Shepherd came to him for advice
and that he furnished Shepherd with
typhoid germs and instructed him
how to use them so that Billy would
die. He admitted being an accom-
plice to the alleged murder.
Jury Selection Drags
While other witnesses are able to
testify that they saw Shepherd and
Fsirman together, White is the only
person able TO say that he actually
saw Shepherd at the school.
Selection OF a jury dragged slowly
today. The three prospective Jurors
temporarily accepted by both sides
yesterday, were dismissed today. In
their seats were three men temp.
orarily accepted by the State today.
Each side has twenty peremptory
challenges and they used one each
today. So far approximately forty
veniremen have been examined. The
State is selecting men who not only
believe in the death penalty, but be-
lleve the death penalty should be in
flicted on circumstantial evidence
concerning the murder.
Want Hanging
The prosecution, directed by the
harsh, insistent States Attorney
Robert Z. Grove. IS trying TO find
twelve jurors who have no scruples
against sentencing a man TO hang.
Stubbornly Grove and his aides
question the prospects. rejecting
every man that admits hesitanGy to
enforce the states law regarding
capital punishment.
Every time the question is asked:
do you have any conscientious
scruples against imposing the death
penalty y?"-Shepherd shifts uneasily
In his chair. There can be no doubt
In his mind that Grove and his four
assistants are trying desperately to
send him to the gallows.
Then Shepherd has his inning.
His own attorney, William Scott
Stewart, takes up the questioning.
The atmosphere changes.

A"Since the news is coming from

the case. 1t IS also admitted that
the Cincinnati arch5!shopric Is as
anxious to bring out the promotion
OF Bishop Chartrand.
Priests of the Indianapolis diocese
point out that Bishop Chartrand is
of the complexion OF the diocese,
meaning that of the 201 priests of
this diocese that 142 were born in
this district and that 149 were
actually educated jc this diocese.
Family Affair
as one OF the clergy states, 1T is
a family affair"
So far Bishop Chartrand, who is
receiving no one at his residence, is
awaiting whatever summons comes
from Rome.
1t is pointed out by those familiar
with the church that It is an un-
heard-of thing to decline a promotion
as an archbishop.
With a possible reopening OF the
appointment at Rome. the situation
still remains rather confused.

Restriction of bus franchises
