Scott Stewart, in his final of argument this afternoon, will, shepherd be released on bail on charge of murdering roster son, Wm. Nelson McIntock, on administration of typo-garnish branded "raiman quacks and blackmailer" and Marchand "hopeless, gope flend and blackmailer." The defense attorney also raided Judge Harry Olson, instigator of investigation which resulted in murder indictment but was attacked on the judge was courteous in manner terms being more of implication than direct accusation. CHICAGO, March 24—Defentant courtroom crowded to capacity, Atty. Wm. Stewart, chief of fense counsel, today made plea for liberty for Wm. D. Shepherd, accused "xyphoid murderer" of William Neison McIntock, foster son. Stewart branded testimony of Dr. Chas Palma, state's star witness, as worthease in that it same from confessional accomplice and declared it was from the unstable material that state fashioned its "circumstantial web about Shepherd." "There at not even one turn of evidence to show McClintock's death was from other than natural causes," he shouted. "No one has even attempted to say they saw defendant innoculate this boy." "And yet state asks that this man be held as for capital crime—a crime in which the proof must be evident and presumption great—a crime proved beyond reasonable doubt." Stewart had not concluded when afternoon recess was taken. Law books piled high on two tables, flanked Stewart as he began his argument and he had frequent recourse to them to cite decisions of courts in nearly every state of Union. He dwelt at length on phrase "proof evident and presumption just" which he held necessary for return of murder indictment. And he sought definitions of this phrase from supreme court of Texas, which he said declared it meant "manifest, clear, plain, obvious." He then turned again to his law books to read decisions of the Illinois supreme court to the effect that testimony of accomplices always is under grave suspicion. In other words," he declared. "Your honor must conclude. If you deny us ball, that proof is evident, which would make proof stronger than reasonable doubt." WASHINGTON, March 24. —"The American farmer will draft his own legislative relief program for next session of congress." With this observation, Sen. Capper, Rep. of Kan., chairman of senate farm bloc, was on route today for agricultural west to ascertain at first hand just what farmer wants from congress. He plans to consult farmers in field, agricultural experts and governors of farm states but to let farmers decide for themselves what legislation is necessary to insure agricultural prospects. Capper has his own ideas about relief program. It would consist of enacting bills to foster co-operative marketing and to create an expert corporation. "I'll put in summer attending meetings of farmers to learn what farmer wants from congress," said Capper. "The farmer did not get much help from last session of congress because his organizations failed to unite in support of any single measure. It should be different in next session, because I intend to give farmers chance to speak for themselves." While Capper is visiting western farmers, president's own agriculture committee will meet in Washington and continue probing agricultural conditions. The commission, of which former Gov. Rob D. Carey of Wyoming is chairman, is expected to recommend enactment of co-operative marketing bill. This measure would lend government's aid to association created among farmers. "I expect a co-operative marketing bill will be passed at next session," said Capper, commenting on commission's work. "There will also be drive to enact McNary-Haugen bill. These two bills would remedy present situation in my opinion as one would remove surmise of general business conditions showed healthy state. Recent speculation, particularly in wheat has caused some reaction it was stated, but has failed to illuminate general activity in all lines of business.

ROTARIANS TOLD ABOUT CONVENT Addresses at today's club luncheon were by Reid Harry Riley and O Hutcheson. for return of murder indictment. And his sought definitions of this phrase from supreme court of Texas, which he said declared it meant "manifest, clear, plausible, obvious." He then turned again to his law books to read decisions of the Illinois supreme court to the effect that testimony of accomplices always "is under grave suspicion." "In other words," he declared, "Your honor must conclude. If you deny us ball, that proof is evident, which would make proof stronger than reasonable doubt." "The only question to be considered here is whether proof is evident and presumption great." "If we are to take that definition," he said, "It means that your honor must find Shepherd guilty of murder at this time." Thru a maze of legal language, Stewart took court and audience, time and again retracing his steps to reiterate contention that for return of such an indictment as that against Siepherd, evidence sufficient to convict him must be presented to grand jury. And this, he maintained, state had not had. From this Stewart turned to point number two in defense argument proof of corpus defecti. "There isn't allightest evidence," he said, "that Wm. McClintock is dead because of any criminal agency." Stewart asserted that neither Dr. Chas. C. Palman, state's star witness and co-defendant of Shepherd, nor any one else had attempted to say they had actually rea Shepherd administer any germs and declared alleged fact Shepherd had innoculated McClintock has been arrived at merely by deductive reasoning from circumstantial evidence; main link of which came from co-defendant himself. "According to his testimony," Stewart said, "Falman is either an accomplice or he knows nothing about this matter." "If he is an accomplice, then his testimony which provided butwark of Wm. C. Palman's case before grand jury and which this indictment in large measure hangs, needs corroboration." ANAREIM ADVERTISING March issue of Western journal or Education. Min.

Wall and Mrs. Jessie Wall, defense attempted today on direct examination of Martin to bring out this alleged fact.
