Attorneys for the state will
make a determined effort when
Mrs. Martina Kvalshaug is placed
on trial Wednesday for completely
in the murder of her husband to
persuade Charles Newcomb, Kval-
shaug's murderer, to take the
stand for the state. 1t is improb-
able that Newcomb's attorneys
will allow this. especially If the
matter of his appeal has not been
settled finally, as his testimony
might do his own case much dam
age. The prosecutor thinks that
liz Newcomb takes the stand, the
case against Mrs. Kvalshaug will
be much stronger and that a con-
viction will be more probable.
Newcomb's Father Leaves.
Without saying last farewell
to his son, William J. Newcomb,
father of the convicted murderer,
left for his home in Massachusetts,
Saturday with no hope of ever
setting eyes on his boy again.
When he last visited his son at the
jail Thursday. 1t was his intention
to go there again before leaving,
but the dread of taking last
farewell was evidently too much
for him, and he refrained from
doing so.
Newcomb is apparently unaf-
fected by the action of his father
or by the verdict. He is more jol-
ly than before the trial and does
not act at all nervous or irritated.
Scientist Calls on Him.
He was visited at the Jail this
morning by Christian Science
worker, who remained about
twenty minutes. The convicted
man was very talkative, and
seemed in good spirits when the
visitor left. The Christian Scien-
ltist has made several calls on the
prisoner during his Incarceration,
and Newcomb always seems inter-
ested in his teachings.
Mrs. Kvalshaug Cheerful.
Mrs. Kvalshaug is to face trial
before Judge Easterday Wednes-
day. No change in her actions is
noticeable, however.
She spends most of her time
reading, as usual, and is cheerful
in her conversations with the jail
er, but has nothing to do with her
fellow prisoners. She and her al
legged paramonr, Newcomb, are
never allowed to see each other
in the jail, but occupy cells as far
apart as possible.
