The press of the country has at different times during the past two years carried various sensational stories about the charges, investigations, and decisions in the case of the will of Bill McClintock. The situation has now resolved itself into a fight between the guardian and the relatives of McClintock over his $1,000,000 estate. The case is so involved and so many delays are not only possible but probable that attorneys estimate it will take at least ten years before any definite settlement is made. William Nelson McClintock, called by newspapers the "millionaire orphan," was born April 3, 1903. He attended New Trier high school, on the north shore of Chicago, where his home was, and entered Dartmouth with the class of 1925. He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. McClintock withdrew from college in June, 1924. The family fortune had previously carried with it difficulties and troubles, and McClintock's death brought these to a climax. His guardian, William D. Shepherd, in whose favor McClintock had signed his will in April, 1924, was accused of murdering his ward through the administration of typhoid germs. Shepherd was acquitted of this charge, but later lost a legal battle in an attempt to probate the will. During the first part of this year, however, he was victorious in a second attempt, and the will was admitted to probate. The cousins of McClintock have been the principal opponents of Shepherd in the last struggle by him to obtain possession of the estate. It is expected that appeals and delays will tie up the affair for at least a decade, and in that position the matter rests at present.
News of the activities of the many individuals in the class is scarce, the mail having been very thin recently. This is one occasion when we want you to talk—or rather, write—about yourself. Help! Help!
