CHOIRMASTER CALM | AWAITING HIS TRIAL | 2 | Reads Detective Stories as Prose-| cution Prepares Case Charg- ing Wife Slaying. | By the Assoctated press WORCESTER, Mass., September 21. | —Newell P. Sherman, 6-foot 3-inch choirmaster, sat in his cell tonight reading detective stories as defense and prosecution completed arrange- | ments for his trial Monday. He is charged with the murder of | his young wife, mother of their two | children, because of his alleged love | for Miss Esther Magill, 17-year-old | mill girl. | The State will charge that he| brought his wife on her first and last | canoe ride at Lake Singletary late| Saturday night, July 20, and then de- | liberately tipped the canoe, pushed her | away and swam ashore. It will charge that a few moments before the finel ride his wife was in his arms. Whether Sherman will take the stand his counsel, J. Fred Humes and William W. Buckley, do not know. They said if he does, he will be the final witness. They will seek to bar the alleged confession, which State Detective Edward J. McCarthy says he obtained. Miss Magill, who has been in seclu- sion, will be the chief of the State’s 15 or 20 witnesses. The State says she was the “unwitting motive.” Both District Attorney Owen A. Ho- | ban and the defense counsel believe the jury will be chosen quickly, prob- ably by Monday night. The next day | they will view the scene. ;Depression Stunting Children, Science Food Study Reveals BY HOWARD W.
