Early Trial

Case Askedi
Supreme Court Denies Bond;

vestigation.
Olson Charges Huge Plot
By lnher*al Service.
Chicago, April 10.—An immediate
trial!
That was the answer ‘William D.
Shepherd crave through hi* attorney
to the prompt refusal of the highest
• ourt of the state to grant him his
freedom on bail while under the
shadow of an indie;ment for the slav
ing of William McClintock, hia mil
lionaire ward.
That his request for an eary trial
v ill be acceded t«» was indicated by
Chief Justice Hopkins of the criminal
court, who twice refused Shepherd's
plea for bonded liberty. The state’s
torney, however, may oppose early
court act Inn on the plea that fur
ther investigation* are necessary.
While the plea made to the Illinois
supreme court indicated that Shep
herd would seek to delay his trial,
the official report of fifiding a large
amount of bichloride of mercury in the
intestines of Mrs. Emma Nelson Mc
Clintock, "Rllly’s" mother, IB years
efter her death, is believed to have
proved a factor in deciding for the
early trial.
Accomplices Sought.
The authorities openly linked the
death of Mrs. McClintock to that of
her son. declaring that a conspiracy
existed for obtaining the million-dol
lar fortune o£ the McClintock family.
Judge Harry Olson, who begun the
investigation on what he termed a
"hunch,” declared today that this
conspiracy extended over a period of
ai least 16 years and that persons
beside Shepherd and Dr. C. O. T-'ai
man, head of a school of bacteriology,
would probably be linked with it.
“Perhaps these persons didn't have i
murder in mind.” said Judge Olson,
“but In a robbery* in which murder
i« committed, all of the principals are
responsible. Therefore others may
Vie tried for murder in addition to (
Shepherd.
“Evidence running back 16 years
and more will have to be dug up.
That takes time.”
Dr. Charles Krusemarek. the phy
sician who attended Mrs. McClintock, |
was summoned for questioning as to
what he had prescribed for her In the
trentment of vvliat he had diagnosed
as heart disease.
^ Judge Olson declared that lie did
lot believe that the chemical anal -
sis of tils brother's body, which also
was exhumed, would yield the same
■.oieon traces as that of Mrs. Me
linto-'k.
“I think ills death was typical cf
prussic acid poisoning,” declared
Judge Olson. "A post-mortem will
not reveal that after these years, if
such is a fact.”
Prussic acid poison traces are lost
ill embalming and interment, the
acid evaporating, it was pointed out.
tt is at the time of death—and only
s few hours after death—that poison
ing by this agent can be definitely
determined. 1
New Indictment I/vonis.
“At the time my brother died I
Did not believe his death unnatural, i
tdded Judge Olson. "I differed with
he phy.Acian as to the rau“> of
death, and it was not until after T
learned of Shepherd's visits to my
brother’s bedside a few hours before
he died In great pain that I became
suspicious.”
The ritnesses found by Judge Olson
and brought before the coroner's Jury
and the grand July are to lie re
examined by the state's attorney, it
was announced, and if the evidence
supports it Shepherd will be indicted
also on the charge of having poisoned
Mrs. McClintock.
Shepherd’s attorney, William Scott
Slevvart, again charged that a gi
gantic frame up had been launched
against bis client.
Public Mind Poisoned.
"Our only hope for justice now re
e^^ialns to secure Justice for Shepherd
in a speedy trial,” declared Attorney
Stewart.
"The public mind has been so
thoroughly poisoned against this In
nocent man that tt may be difficult
i yen to secure an unprejudiced
jury.”
Attorney Stewart deplored what lie
termed the barring of a bacteriologist
from making tests from poison on the
body of Mrs. McClintock, simultane
ously with the coroner’s chemist's In
vestigatlon.
"I haverTiowever, always contend
ed that it did not make a particle of
difference what they found in these
bodies,” continued Attorney Stewart,
“there Is no w-Ry In which Shepherd
can he connected with what they al
lege.”

Banned Fraternity Fall

Despite their earnest protests that
hey had never been affiliated with

'nrr were informed Friday afternoon
hat they would not be reinstated in
.'reighton university, from which they
vere expelled Tuesday for alleged par

Bell appeared before the board of
ruetees Thursday afternoon in an ef
ort to secure reinstatement, and de
tied that he was a member of Theta
S'u Epsilon, hut admitted that he had
aken part in the organization of an
il her secret order. He exonerated
arr of any participation In the latter
raternity. Botl) men are second year
Undents.
The decision of the trustees was an
lounced in a letter to Bell from

if tiie university, which read:
‘■Mr. Robert Bell:
“it was the unanimous sense of
the board that your statement of
the case did not uncover any reason
why the university should recede
from the position taken In my for

“It will not lake anything from
the severity of this measure to say
that we regret to have to maintain
this stand. Rut in denllng with or
ganizations of secret membership
we feel convinced that our only re
course is to drop the students con

evidence available for ns shows
their connection with such organi

way.
"Since you spoke for Mi Carr at

must, tell you tiie assertion that lie

original liiidings against him, to the
effect of being connected with the
organization of the society. < >n Ills
own admission he was present at

Whether he subsequently became a

Resignation of Socialist Cabi

French Parliament Split
By C. F. BEFTEIXI.

Paris. April 10.—Tlie Herriot gov
ernment. repudiated by the French
senate this afternoon by a vote- of 156
to 132. tendired its resignations to
President Doumergue at 10 this eve
nlng.
Ti e definite refusal of tlie senate
to give Premier Herriot and his min
isters a vote of confidence, thus split
ting the French parliament, ina
much a' tlie chamber of deputie< ye;
lerday exprered its confidence in the
government by a substantial though
reduced majority, lias created an in
volved situation.
The deadlocking of the senate and
eharmber may force President Dou
tnergue to dissolve the chamber and
call new elections, as it may easily be
come impossible for any new govern
ment to win a favorable vote in the
lower body.
Hot Session in beiiate.
Immediately after the vole "a;
taken showing the senate refused to
sanction the general policy of the gov
eminent, the cabinet held a meetir g
in the foreign office for the purpose
of drawing up the letter of resigns
tlon. The ministers, led by Premiei
Herriot, went to the Ulysses palace at
JO, where their resignation was hand
ed to tlie president.
Under normal conditions the p -"s
ent situation would indicate that the
president would request either former
Finance Minister Francois Jlarsal oi
former Premier Raymond Poincare
to form a new cabinet. Such a mov •
at this time is held unlikely owing to
the probable opposition to be encom.
tered from the chamber.
The senate convened at 3 this aft
ernoon and the ‘ fireworks'’ started In
short order, coming in the nature of
a dispute let ween Premier Herriot as
spokesman for the government and
Marsal ami Poincare as cross exami
ners for the opposition.
Herriot Blames Nationalist'
The government was both a,
raigned by the opposition speakers
and the premier’s denial that he had
ever exceeded the legal limit of paper
money circulation was challenged by
live speakers backed by cries from tlie
benches in which various epithets
such as "thief" and "counterfeiter
were hurled at the premier.
Premier Herriot reiterated h's
charge that the responsibility ioi
France's financial troubles belongs to
the government of former Premiei
Poincare.
"Unsuccessful leans made unde - tic
nationalist government showed th: >
was no more confidence tfien than un
der my government.' declared the
premier in his speech to the senate
"But the nationalist government in
creased the internal debt until it now
stands at ST*.606.000.600 francs.
’’Make treonanv Pay."
At this declaration there were lo.;J
shouts from the floor: "Make G»
msny pay it."
Former Finance Minister Mara.,
summing up the situation a ntomen
before the vote on the question oi
confidence was taken, declared
"Neither a tax on capital nor *
forced loan is capable of restoring
confidence in the present govern
ment.''
At that Premier Herriot moun:eo
tbe tribunal to deliver hie swan son;
speech, in which he challenged the
senators:
'If it lagans war. let us fight it ou
right here. I have balanced the bud
I get. If some -re else wants to finish
I my task, le: him proceed
| The senate was in an uproar whe
the vote was concluded.
