Death trial of Major Shepard probes autopsy and poison links
In Topeka notes Major Charles A. Shepard faces questions over the death of his wife Zenana Shepard at Fort Riley in 1920 and claims he opposed an autopsy. Testimony recalls his fear of autopsy, his later suppression of the idea, and accusations tied to his murky romantic life including a later affair with Grace Brandon. The case involves two marriages and a federal jury trial, with defense stressing illness and nonlethal causes while prosecutors seek to prove murder by poison.
