Trial of the Alleged Husband Poisoner.

New HAVEN, Ct, April AIN the Sherman
trial this forenoon the defence opened their
case. G. HI. Watrons, counsel for the prisoner,
made brief statement before the jury of what
he intends doing. He should try and show that
the State had not made a case because they had
proved no motive which would induce the pris-
Oner to commit the crime. If there was arsenic
in the stomach it was not put there through
any agency of the accused He called for the
first witness, Lewis G. Hubbard, who lived in
the same house with Sherman. He testified
that Mrs. Sherman had the sole care of her
same as those of any man and wife. The court
adjourned at l O'Clock with the witness on the
stand. What the defence expected to prove by
this witness they do not seem to have done
namely, the most tender affection of Mrs Sher-
