THE SHEPARD MYSTERY ;
More Aboot the Three Autos and
Their IWnnanta i.
To the Editor of The Robesonian I '
Where there is a lot of' smoke,
there is bound to be some fire. Since
there have been so many varying 're
ports current during the last fifteen
nours oi tne supposed life of Mr. E.
R. Shepard, when he seems to have
been destroved nnivarYta . at a TnzAn
times and in as many 'different places,
I feel it incumbent upon myself to
state what I am convinced in the trim
state of affairs up to a certain time.
Since people have gotten over -their
first fear of speaking, it is being
whispered aVound that Shepard, with
iwe outers, passed tnrougn Jjumbe?
ton traveling toward the eastern
part of town about 10 o'clock Monday
night, April 10th, and that another
automobile was-soon in hot niirsuHL
the . occupants making some inquiry
as to whether a car bearing., the
description of ythe one . Shepard .was.
drivincr had nassed this wv. It will lie
recalled that it was shortly after this
that tne three automobiles were cut
ting up high jinks in East Lumber
ton. - ' -
At least two persons have ques
tioned me very closely gs to whether
any of the persons in any of the
three automobiles had been recognis
ed, toumy knowledge, which questions
I evaded making a direct answer,
prefering to keep the 'questioners
guessiag. -1 will now answer the
questions so all can hear. "Yes, some
of the occupants seem to have been
recognized, and not the least con
spicuous for their presence were two
officers who were after Shepard for
the purpose of arresting him for be
ing intoxicated and running his auto
mobile while in this condition. Now
in the event that some person rises
to the occasion and tries to make it
appear that all this is nnthW W
the wild invaginations of an un
balanced mindi I will go a little fur
ther and tell a little secret.
It was not mv intention tn lt. fW
become known until I waa roaAv fnr
the final showdown ; - but in sub
stantiation of the above I fel it
nothing amiss to make casual mention
of it here. One of the officers was in
such a bisr hurry or something that n
hings from-his pocket, he accident-'
any aropt a smau card with his name '
written - tnere-on richt whr h
automobile was shoved , off into tha
ditch. I have this card in my posses
sion ior iuture reference, along with
other bits of evidence.
About a' report over the nommnnttv
that Shepard and his wife were not
living together, were stranded, etc., I
nave gooa reason to believe that they
were on the best of terms TKia -rea
son is found in letters which I have
received from Mrs. Shepard, who is
so sorelv troubled nv tha
her husband, who. aha ofntma n.
devoted husband and father. Her on
ly concern seems to be the finding
