Jury Returns Verdict Aftif Five Hours--Will s Next ^lFcago.--"Not guilty," the v#OTet read and William Darling Shepherd bowed his head, crossed bis hands and prayed. It was tbe aid of a murder trial such as had never before taken place In Cook county or In Illinois. The verdict, In effect, said Shepherd did not Inoculate William McClintock with typhoid germs so as to cause the death by which Shepherd inherited $1,000,000. The Jury was out for five hours. On the first ballot the Jury was seven for acquittal and five for guilty. Six ballots were taken in all; one Juror held out until the last ballot for a verdict of 14 years' Imprisonment. The verdict ends all possibility of further criminal proceedings against Shepherd. St enables him to go with clean hands Into a contest which has been started on the McCHivtock will by nine cousin* of the dead youth. It gives Shepherd the presumptive ownership of the McClintock estate subject only to a possible breaking of the will. Shepherd, of course, won his immediate release from the county Jallrwhere he bad been confined March 18w The verdict was the end of a six months' period of being under a cloud for Shepherd. McClintock died December 4 after a ten-day Illness of typhoid fever. From then on there were developments unfavorable to Shepherd. Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal court undertook to make at> Investigation. Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd had departed for New Mexico after the funeral and after the will had been filed for probate, Judge Crowe asked and obtained an order to exhume the body of McClintock. The coroner's physicians found Billy had undoubtedly died of typhoid fever. Judge Olson said there were reasons to believe Shepherd had administered typhoid germs to the youth. « During the investigation that followed the bodies of Dr. Oscar Olson, brother of Judge Olson, and Mrs. McClintock were dug up and examined by the coroner's pathologists. It was found Mrs. McCUntock's death was due to mercury. Nothing significant was found In the remains of Doctor Olson ana tbe coroner's jury returned an open verdict as to his death. There had been suspicion only because Shepherd visited Doctor Olson during bis Illness. The coroner's Jury blamed the other two deaths on Shepherd and included Mrs. Shepherd In their charge, too. State's Attorney Crowe enabled her to be speedily vindicated, for the grand Jury voted "no bills" within two days. The principal basis of the murder charge against Shepherd was In the confession of Charles C. Falman, prealdent of ^the National University of Sicences. a school of shady reputation, Falman said Shepherd applied to hint for typhoid germs and that ha cava him three tubes of them. Later, Falman said, he learned Shepherd was planning McCUntock's death because the hoy was about to marry Miss Isabelle Pope and if he did so Shepherd's hopes of getting the McClintock money would go glimmering. He had Induced the boy to name blm as sole legatee. Falman said Shepherd finally admitted to him. It was decided to kill him before he coold marry. Falman stated, and then be said it was done.
