Chicago. June 24UP) Two word pictures of William Darling Shepherd were painted for the jury in his murder trial today. That of a magnanimous churchman, a. victfcn of a diabolical plot, persecuted by powerful interests bent upon breaking a will, was the portrayal the jurors were left to ponder over when an early adjournment cut short the openir.g argument of William Scott Stewart, chief of defense counsel. Just back of it, however, was the representation of Shepherd as a diabolic plotter who had introduced a new species of murder into Illinois.

a man who had used typhoid germs to slay his rich foster-son, Billy McClintock, and worthy of death upon the gallows for it. Such was the painting of George E. Gorman, first Assistant's State's Attorney In his opening plea for the State. A e-owded court room was electri fled by Stewart's opening statement. "'Our platform In this case is that Shepherd is shouted Stewart.

"If you gentlemen think Shepherd had dealings with Faiman, hang him. -You are either dealing with a man who killed and should be hanged or with a man who is the victim of the vilest plot ever heard of. "If you believe he dealt with Fai-man. hang him. He nad no business having dealings with Faiman-" Upon completion of Stewart's opening address, probably before noon tomorrow, his associate, W.

V. O'Brien, will appeal to the jury. Robert E. Crowe. State's Attorney, will follow in the closing argument of the trial.

The prosecutor said tonight that it was his opinion the case would go to the jury some time Friday. The lawyer are speaking without time restriction. Gorman required nearly four hours. Stewart spoke nearly that long, and said he had not nearly finished at adjournment. Proscutor Crowe, Judge Harry Ol-sen.

Alexander F. Reischmann, Chicago newspapers, and various witnesses for the prosecution were subjects for severe tirades in Stewart's argument. Charles C. Fairman, chief accuser of Shepherd and jointly indicted with him; was dealth with in particularly harsh language. Fairman testified that he gave Shepherd typhoid germs, and taught him how to use them to slay young McClintock before his proposed marriage to Miss Pope could nullify the will in which the youth had named Shepherd chief beneficiary of his estate.

Federal aid will be invoked for the construction of the proposed new bridge across the Ohio ttiver, it was decided yesterday afternoon by Mayor Huston Quin's bridge committee at the City Hall.

Col.

John R. R. Hannay, committee-mem ber, was instructed by the body to further the project, which if success ful will make use of the bridge free to the public. This is in comparison with the present plan calling for a toll-bridge with cost of construction to be raised by private subscriptions. Will Mean Delay.

The new plan, however, would postpone erection of the bridge for two years, inasmuch as action by the two State legislatures could not be obtained in any shorter time, it was pointed out. To facilitate the working out of details in the meantime. Wilmer T. Fox of Jeffersonville and Bert Wilson of the Louisville Gas Klectrie Company were appointed a committee to investigate existing methods for the control of interstate bridges. Such, action was deemed necessary to offset future dispute as to the authority for the control of a new bridge it was said.

In a statement to the committee, Alex K. Johnson, president 'of the Louisville Automobile Club, explained his negative vote last Friday on the proposal for the bridge across the river at Tenth Street. Favors Third Street. Mr. Johnson told the committee thjit he did not vote against the Tenth Street site to be contrary, but for "economical and logical reasons." He said he deemed a site nearer the business center of town, such as the foot of Third Street, to be more practical, economical and' beneficial.

A bridge from Third Street, Mr. Johnson declared, would be from 2.000 to 2,500 feet shorter, and therefore less expensive in its construction and maintenance. It would also be of greater value to the city, he contended. The committee, after hearing Mr. Johnson, askd Mayor Quin to write to the Chief of Engineers of the War Department, inquiring whether the Government would consent to a bridge at Third Street.
