Iouo Jloury, sister Ot^lVK Elmer, and truest Uopmu, son of Mrs Elmer by u marriage previous to that with Shepard. The arrest of all thnn' wuh ordered after a pathologist and a chemist of Atlanta, had testified at a coroner's Investigation here today that a post mortem examination of Shepards hotly hud rovoahnl the presence of poison In the viscera. - - ? . Mrs. Elmer, who took dmrfce of Sheuard'/ property after his death *?n the . grounds that he died Intestate, was arrested as she was leaving the .courtroom. where the coroner's in vest igation was held. The first charge plaeed against her was illegal ?-lw propria Hon of Sltapard's property. Several hours later she was served With a warrant charging he# murder in connection with Shejpard# death Mrs. Henry and Ilopson w<tre ar-( rested at their homes in Perry, near here. Dr. John Fuuke, Atlanta patholog ist, and Dr. Edgar Everhtui., had concluded their testimony, both de ducing that Shepard died of poison, taken through Che mouth, and the courtroom was' being cleared >>0' that the jury could consider the evidence. While Mrs, Rimer was in custody of the deputy tbe coroner's jury quickly found its verdict: that "Shepard came to his death by poison." ? XhepurdV death occurred at .Ma con 'hospital after aii illness of only three days. Hospital physicians, un able to. diagnose the case, conduct ed a post mortem examination and reported .tbe findlpS of queer spots on the vital organs. investigation Was immediately .started by the author, itles. 8hep6rd'g Wi*e of less than a year, now Mrs. Rtaief-, . immediately, took charge of the extensive orchard hold ings, and other property of the peach grower, stating tliat be bad left no Villi, Pbe investigation into his death, which had practically, been- abandoned; was revived several w^'ks later by the announcement by Mrs. Alice Cramlall, a sister of Shepard. that she had recei ved an annoymous letter through mail inclosing what was purported to be a will executed by the peach, king. This will bequeathed to the widow $10,000 cash and a monthly allowance of $100. All knowledge of the existence of such a will was denied by the widow. Four. months after Shepard's death his widow was married to Dr. F. E. Rimer, who according to statements by Solicitor General Garrett during the in vestigation, claims to have once beeu a governor of a state in Mexico and later tbe husband of the daughter of an English nobleman. Shcpard's career also was a strange one. Heir to the millions of his father, be ran away from home and was not found until years later on a ranch in Oregon, He had marrie% and after obtaining a divorce returned to Geor gia to assist bis father in the manage ment of Shcpard's properly. Upou the death of the elder Shepard, he received the mtfjor portion ot the estate, which consists of property In Georgia, Florida Mississippi, Alabama, Southern Califor nia, Battle Creek, Mich., and French Lick Springs. Ind. Dr. John Fuiike, Atlanta patholo gist, who wag one of the witnesses at today's hearing, /testified that traces of poison Were found In Shepard's body. His testimony was supplemented by that of Dr. Edgar 12 verba nt, an Atlanta cheraiat, who told the^ Jury that while ho had found no poison at the time of his first examination, an analysis of the contents of other organs presented to him after a second exhumation of the body showed a large amount of bi chloride of mercury. He estimated the dojse' which caused Shepard's death at 50 grains. The testimony developed at today's hearing followed au exhaustive in quiry into alleged mysterous circum stances surrounding the death of the wealthy peach grower. The inquiry during -its later stages has been direct ed by .State Solicitor General Garrett. Marriage. Married af. the ? home of Probate Judge W. Tj. McDowell on November 26th, 1020, Mr. W. Tj.
