Wife of Sam Sheppard, the Ohio doctor who was accused, tried, and convicted of brutally killing his wife in 1954. His story of a ‘brushy haired intruder’ was not believed, and Sheppard served 10 years for a crime he steadfastly denied committing. Sheppard was eventually released from prison after an appeals court ruled he was denied fair trial due to heavy publicity. His story was later the basis for the television series and movie The Fugitive. Bank check, 6.25 x 2.75, filled out in type and signed by Sheppard’s father, Thomas Reese, payable to Marilyn Reese Sheppard for $25.00, December 29, 1945, endorsed on the reverse, “Marilyn Reese Sheppard.” Encapsulated in a plastic PSA/DNA authentication holder. Expected cancellation stamps and holes, with only one hole affecting Sheppard’s endorsement signature on the reverse side, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
