Farman Firm on Germ Plot at Shepherd Trial
Chicago reporters recount State’s Attorney Crowe’s admission of four more unvouched witnesses as the Shepherd germ murder trial nears a pivotal witness. Charles C. Farman, ex-president of the National University of Sciences, testified that he supplied Sheppard with typhoid germs and trained him to use them against Billy McClintock. Defense questions questioned Farman’s methods and credentials, suggesting health department rules limit indiscriminate germ distribution and potentially lessen Farman’s testimony’s weight.
