as though washing them, during
the proceedings that lasted scarce
~ more than one minute.
After the charge was read, the
defendant and his attorney, j.
Fred Humes of Sutton, said sinful
taneously:
mot guilty."
He was taken under heavy
guard back to the Worcester
county jail, where he will be con-
fined until the grand jury con-
venes August 10 at Fitchburg.
Police said that Newell P. Sher-
man, Whitinsville machine shop
employee, with the build Of giant
, football tackle, confessed he took
his 23-year-old wife, Alice, on n
night Saturday, purposely tipped
over the boat and left her to
drown in fog-shrouded Lake Sim
gletary while he swan zoo yards
to shore.
The youth confessed, authori-
ties said, that his wife tried to
hold him around the neck, but
that he pushed her away and left
her pleading and struggling vain
ly in the water. Sherman, whose
father is a town constable and
former police chief, was infatua-
ted with an 1S-year-old girl en-
ploye of the Within Machine Com
pany in Whitinsville, where he is
tool maker, police allege. Au-
thorities later revealed that Sher-
man, a choir singer and scoutmas-
ter, named Miss Esther Magill Of
Whitinsville as the "other girl"
The towering husband, about s
feet inches tall and Weighing
more than 200 pounds, called po-
lice after his wife's drowning and
said their canoe tipped when his
| paddle became caughth under the
hull. The lake was dragged and
| the body recovered in rs feet of
water early Sunday. A medical ex-
| aminer's report had said that
death was due to drowning, with
no evidence of violence.
Broke Down After Hours
| Sherman was arrested a few
hours later, however. and brought
to Grafton state police barracks
for questioning. There, after four
hours questioning, authorities
said he confessed to the crime,
which closely parallels the Ches-
ter Gillette case after which The
| odore Dresser patterned his IAN
American Tragedy"
| Originally, Sherman reported his
wife's death was accidental, police
said, then confessed after lengthy
questioning. State police said the
athletically- built youth admitted
that:
Put Children To Bed
Saturday night, after the Sher-
mans had put their two small chill
dren, May Q 1-2, and eight-month-
old Dudley, to bed, Sherman invit-
ed his wife to go for canoe ride
on the lake. A heavy fog descended
over the lake where, 200 yards
| from shore, Sherman stuck his
paddle under the craft and tipped
it over, and the two were plunged
into the water. His wife struggled
around in the fog-shrouded lake,
sherman allegedly confessed, and
pleaded vainly. Newell, I'm, here
-Newell!" She grabbed at his
shirt collar, police said the young
husband admitted, but he pushed
her away and swan for shore, af-
fter pushing the overturned canoe
out of her reach.
Planned for Some Time
Authorities reported that Sher-
man allegedly confessed he had
planned to do it for some time.
The Shermans were married four
years ago. and were believed living
happily with their two children in

The deadline on the demands Of
the United Textile Workers of
America for higher wages and
equalized work-loads in the wooden
and worsted industry expired to-
day, but no immediate crisis was
expected. Local unions throughout
the north Atlantic states were to
begin to report on acceptance or
rejection of their demands by en-
ployers. UTWA officials were to
study the reports and plan strikes
against defiant. mills to begin
about August 1. The strike of 81
400 workers in the seven mills of
the Uxbridge Worsted company to-
day entered its fifth week as nego-
tiators of labor and management
prepared to continue conference
with state conciliators to seek
settlement.
