Magnanimous Churchman Versus Typhoid Plot in Shepherd Trial
Chicago June 23 Two word pictures of William Darling Shepherd were painted for the jury in his murder trial. The defense painted him as a magnanimous churchman victim of a diabolic plot while the prosecution portrayed him as a diabolic plotter who used typhoid germs to kill his rich foster son. George E. B. Gorman opened for the state with a harsh portrayal of Shepherd and Faiman, the key accuser, as Stewart’s address stretched toward four hours. The trial proceeds with Gorman’s long argument and anticipated jury deliberations.
