GRILL MURDER
TRIAL WITNESS

The ghost of Billy McClintock,
millionaire Chicago youth whose
death resulted in the prosecution,
and acquittal of william D. Shop
herd, his guardian, on murder
charges two years ago, today stalked
at a hearing in the law offices Of
Miller Daily and Thompson, Con-
solidated building.
Charles c.. Faiman, co-defendant
with Shepherd and principal pros
ecution witness in the murder trial
was cross examined here by at
torneys for Shepherd in the suit
whereby Isabelle Pope, McClintock's
bethrothed and several relatives of
cClintock seek to break McClin-
tock's will, which leaves the $780,
900 estate to Shepherd vi
In the murder trial, Faiman
testified he gave Shepherd typhoid
bacilli. McClintock died of typhoid
fever.
Attorneys for Shepherd grilled
Faiaman all morning. The dra-
matte moment came when Attorney
Charles F. Rathbun shot at Fai-
man:
did you help murder Billy Nc
Clintock?"
Faiman's hands twitched and he
haltingly replied: 81 refuse to an
swer."
Shepherds attorneys had DR..
James Whitney Hall, nationally
known alienist, in the room observ-
ing Fainan.
Miss Pope and relatives contend
that Shepherd exerted undue in
fuence over McClintock at the time
his will was made.

In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW York, June 28.Mfn calling your
attention to what looks like, poor, retail
conditions. It is quite possible that 1
have hit on something that is pressing on
other markets more than it is on cotton
just now. Cotton may be more than tech
iaically weak. Selling on all rallies looks
like very good business to me.
