State Scores Many Points in Shepherd Case
Chicago, June 26. In the William Darting Shepherd murder trial the defense failed to steady its case as two defense witnesses were largely countered by prosecution proof. Walter Smith, ex janitor at a small school run by Charles C. Farman, said no live germs were at the school but admitted racks of test tubes that could have contained germs. Dr Frederick C. Teenney, Chicago health department lab head, testified directly for the defense but the prosecution later questioned his entire status. Defense chief William Scott Stewart urged an afternoon session to avoid weekend juror confusion. Farman had testified that Shepherd received three test tubes with live typhoid germs and money from the boy’s estate for the murder the defense seeks to prove.
