I EARLY TRIAL Alleged Murderer of Young Mc Clintock Loses in Appeal to Illinois Supreme Court.

By Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 10. Today was day of ill luck for William Rarllrv Shepherd, who Is held In jail here for the murder of his youthful ward, William Nelson McClintock, millionaire orphan. The supreme court at Sprlnglleld denied a motion for a writ of habeas corpus to release Shepherd on bond, blocking the fourth and probably the last attempt of his attorney to effect his release pending trial. His counsel announced that an Ira mediate trial would be sought as soon as the word was received here.

A fr hours before the supreme court acted. Dr. "William D. McNal ly, coroner's chemist, had announced that autfilcent mercury had been found In the vitul organs of Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock, mother of the young millionaire, to have caused her death.

The possible implication of Shepherd in this death waa being studied today by authorities; while chemists con tinued an examination of the vital organs of Dr. Oscar Olson, the Mc Clintock family physician, who died three years ago, Mrs. McClin tock having died it) years ago while her son died last December, New evidence which the authorities said tended to establish a connection between "Shepherd and the death of Mrs. McClintock Was received during the day, when Dr. George FoBberg, the first person to disclose that Shepnerd naa maae a study of deadly drugs and poisons, appeared at the office of Judge Hurry Olson who Instigated the ln veslgutlon which resulted In Shepherd's Indictment, and amended his former statements.

Shepherd, he said, had begn his interview with Dr, Fosberg by asking about the action or Diunionae oi mercury an the length of time after death that it might still be detected. Dr. Fosberg said he replied that it could be detected almost any time after death, and Shepherd then started to inquire about other poisons. Commenting on the findings of the coroner's chemist, who examined the body of Mrs. McClintock, Shepherd's counsel issued a statement asserting! that no matter what was found In the bodies of either Mrs.

McClintock or Dr. Olson, there was nothing to connect Shepherd with fhe death of either. He added that it was merely another ruse to poison the mma of tne puonc he left Shepherd his estate except for an annuity of (8,000 to Miss lsabelle Pope, his fiancee, who waited to marry him when he died. Judge Olson said he did not expect poison in the form of mercury to be revealed In his brother's body. He said that if Dr.

Olson had been poisoned, it was his belief that prusslc acid had been used. Chemists tests will not show the presence of this acid, he said. The report on Dr. Olson is expected Monday. shepherd's attorneys eay thewl" ask that the case be placed on the trial calendar next Thursday, when jsnepnera is anaigucu ivi ert JS.

Crowe, state's attorney, said his office will take no action con cerning the deaths of Mrs. McClln toCK ana ur. uison unm iiner's Inauest is complete, which IS expected shortly after the chemical analysis are made known.

The members of the left group appeared crestfallen; the senators of tho, right and center cheered. Foremoet among the sympthizers with M. Herrlot was Leon Blum, tho Socialist leader 'in the chamber iC deputies. As the premier and hU ministers were leaving, M.

Blum pointed to them and said: BebolJ, my victims." Blum thenembraced M. Herrlot, who smilingly said to the Socialist: "My poor friend, 1 have denied thee, and denied thee today ot all days."
