NEWELL SHERMAN
 TO GET SENTENCE

Worcester, Mass, May N.-(Up) Denied a new trial by the full bench of the state supreme court, Newell P. Sherman, 27-year-old Sut- ton scoutmaster and choir singer, will be sentenced Friday ct 10 Q. m. to death in the electric chair for the American tragedy" staying of his young wife. Superior Judge Thomas J. Hammond, the trial judge, will impose the mandatory death sentence. Meanwhile Defense Counsel J. Fred HuYnes and Wil- liam W. Buckley considered Q pos- sible appeal to the U. s. supreme court. Only action by that body or intervention by Governor James M. Curley can save the 22O-pound church worker.
 Should the new appeal be taken, 1t was said, 1t would be based on grounds that questioning by state police of prospective jurors deprived Sherman of his constitutional rights to an impartial trial. This also was the basis of the appeal to the state supreme court. Mrs. Alice Sherman drowned in Lake Singletary at 5ut- ton the night of July 20 last. The government charges that her hus- band pushed her from Q canoe to her death for the love of an l0- year-old Whitinsville girl.

Alleged Wife Slayer Puts
 Witness h Hypnotic State

Los Angeles. May 27-(UP)-The state today investigated a theory that Samuel T. Whitaker, 60-year- old retired organizer, hypnotized James Pagan Culver, the chief witt ness, against him in his trial on a charge of staying his wife, Mrs. Ethel Whitaker.
 Culver, g, transient, took the witness stand to repeat statements made to police in a written confess sion that Whitaker hired him to stage a flake holdup." He collapsed suddenly.
 Deputy District Attorney U. U. Ballock asked Culver to identify Whitaker. Culver looked blank and shook his head.
 i've never seen him before," he said.
 Don't you remember Mir. Whit taker, the man sitting at the coun- sel table?" Ballock shouted.
 Well, I think rye seen him be- fore, but I'm in nervous condition --I remember nothing" he moaned.
 Culver, almost hysterical, was re- moved from the witness stand.
 T don't know what happened. I intended to say something, and I couldn't talk. he said outside the courtroom.
 Deputy District Attorney Ballock, after talking t0 Mrs. Henrietta Ashton, sister of the slain woman, raid he was informed that: Whit taker practiccd hypnotlsm for years on his wife and Mrs. Ashton"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-27

Dr. Paul Bowers, prominent psy- chiatrist and the states chief medi- cal witness, said he had been told by Mrs. Ashton to Whittaker's as- serted hypnotic ability. Mrs. Ash ton told me her belief that the req son Culver faltered in his testimony was because Whitaker was exer- cising an influence on the youth from his place in the courtroom" " Dr. Bowers said.
 Ballock said he would investigate the asserted hypnotism on the basis of Mrs. Ashton's statement that she saw a funny look come into Gull ver's eyes that always came into my sisters eyes when Whitaker hyp- notized her" The youth was re- moved to the county jail hospital where he was treated by physicians who said he may be able to testify again late today. The state had built its case around the testimony of Culver who pleaded guilty to second degree murder charges in connection with the death of Mrs. Whitaker.
 The youths confession to police declared that he had been hired to stage the holdup as a means Of frightening Mrs. Whitaker who was careless with valuables. Culver charged Whitaker suddenly drew a gun and began shooting. leading him to return the fire. Mrs. Whit taker fefl m0rtally wounded during the exchange Of shots. She carried s0.OOO in insurance which named her husband as beneficiary

LITTLE BRITISH
 SHIP IS MYSTERY
Hunted in All Waters She Has Kept Away From
 All Pursuers
BY JOSEPH W. GREGG, JR.

Limited Press Stan COrPespOndent)
 London, May 27-(Up)-A little snub nosed British fishing trawler, a runaway from her progaic life in the North Sea fishing fields, steaIl- ed down the hot African coast to- day--the most absorbing ocean Il1ys- tery in years.
 She is the Girl Pat, motor traw. Ter of 0rimsby. She left Grimsby April for two weeks fishing. Two days later she called at Dover, miles out of her course. Engineer George Jafferson, new in the crew, went a store. Ike returned to find her gone. On April l2 the Girl Pat turned up at Corcubion, Spain, severely dam- aged from storms. She underwent repairs. The crew bought 4l,176 worth of supplies and provisions and ordered the bill sent on to the owners, the Marstrand Fishing coE1- pany, and sailed April 2l.
 All Ports Advised
 The owners notified Lloyds The surance Underwriters. Lloyd's agents in every port on the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean were ad- vised to be on the lookout for her. But nobody seemed to know quite what to do because no one knew what sent the crew off on their cruise.
 Last Saturday, the girl that put into Dakar, on the African west coast in French Senegal. She had gone aground on Cap Blanc. The crew landed to seek help and rec turned to find all their food and clothing stolen. French authorities watched her closely. It was known that she was absent without leave. But neither Lloyd's nor the British admiralty, apparently, had asked that she be held. The Dakar port authorities were still watching when yesterday, their heads turned for Q moment apparently, the girl Pat slipped out to sea again without even replenishing her larder.
 Capt. Osborne In Charge
 Captain George Osborne is in command. He has Q crew of four, including first mate Harry Stone and Willie Stevens, l7 year old mess boy.
 A bit chagrined ct the Girl Pats escape, even if they did not know what to do with her, port author ities at Dakar expressed admiration for the crew, for the ship sailed from there in tropical storm that was holding big ships in port.
 British authorities have talked of invoking the barratry laws, which cover fraud prejudicial to the own- CTS. But the mystery attaching to the crews adventure seems to make every one hesitant.
 Our report was the crew sought treasure in old Pirate Islands of the south Atlantic; another that the ship had been converted into a lov- CT next with women aboard. An amateur wireless operator said he picked up Q message from the Girl Pat: lon board the Girl Pat, son1e- where in the Atlantic. We are hon. est and peaceful men, and now we are free"

STRANGE ANGLE IN MURDER CASE
Witness Claimed That One of Investigators Tried
 10 Change Testimony

Wiscasset, Me, May 27-(UP)- Further developments were antici- pated today in the wake of charges by a star state witness that an in- vesigator insisted he change his tes- timony at the trial of an alleged wife-slayer. The disputed testimony of Eugene Woodward, 6oothbay Harbor Kelp gatherer, concerned screams he heard from the direction of the Ocean Point cottage of the defendant, Reuben Brewer, 44-year- old lobster dealer. Asked if he heard the screams on Saturday, April 18, the day on which a doctor testified Mrs. Dolda Medina Brewer, 35, was killed in a fight, Woodward said:
 T don't remember. It was not on q Saturday." Taken aback by the answer, county prosecutor Weston N. Hilton was allowed to cross-ex- anime Woodward as an adverse witness" Woodward testified he was visited Saturday by Charles E. Lee man of Bath, one of the attorney generals Investigators, and asked about the screams. This mc:l came to my house Saturday." he said. "He insisted on me saying that 1t was Saturday. I told him I thought it was on Sunday" Called to the stand, Leeman told the court Wood- ward certainly did" say he heard the screams on Saturday. Further questioning of Woodward disclosed that he had a friendly drink" with Brewer on the piazza of his home April 19, only an hour before Mrs. Brewers body was found on the nearby beach.

cause he knew too much about the organization.
 The 12, including Colonel Har- vey Davis and Dayton Dean, charg- cd with being ringleaders in the assassination, were ordered held without bail in county jail for con- tinued examination next Tuesday.
 McCrea said that the expected ar- rests were of those suspects for whom John Doe" warrants have been issued in connection with the Poole staying. They were said to have participated in the night ride during which Poole was shot six times as he stood near ditch on tn ewest side of the city.
 Inquiries into the Black Legion were to be extended statewide in efforts to determine whether other mysterious deaths, tortures inflicted on citizens, bombings and even ar- son could be attributed to the vig- ilante group.
 Only Three Witnesses
 Todays examination, called to satisfy the court that the defen- dants should be held on the charg- es of murder and Kidnapping, brought forth the brief testimony of only three witnesses---two rela- tives of the slain man and the med- ical examiner who performed the autopsy on the body of the former WPA worker.
 McCreas request for adjourn ment fostered bitter courtroom argument with defense attorney Bernard w. Cruse. The attorney remarked caustically that "the prosecutor wants the delay so he can look into his own office to de- termine if anyone besides himself has sized card with the legion"
 Word Liar Is Used
 Anybody who says I had any, thing to do with this organization is a liar" the prosecutor shouted in reply.
 The defendants, including Harvey Davis, self-styled Colonel" of the legion, and Dayton Dean. an al- legged ringleader in the cold-blood- cd shooting fo poole on May 12, looked up with interest as the arg ument progressed.
 Most of them were freshly shaw ed and wore different clothing than that in which they were arrested. A 18th defendant named in the mur- der warrants, George 0. Johnson, 73, was unable to appear at the hearing. His attorney charged he was confined to receiving hospital as a result of "mistreatment" by police.
 Will Sue Newspaper
 The attorneys reference was to charges made by the Detroit Times that McCrea's name had appeared on an application card found in the files of the Black Legion. McCrea, denying any connection with the cult. said he would file suit against the Hearst newspaper.
 Attorney Gen. Busy
 While the inquiry into the legion ccntered on the court examination, Attorney General David H. Crowley

hastened by motor car from Lansing to confer with McCrea, and to open grand jury investigation of the le- zion in Wayne County.
 He said before leaving the capi- tai that he would question McCrea about his alleged connection with the legion.
 T want to learn personally the details of this thing" he said.
 MethOdists Condemned
 Michigan Methodists, stirred into action by the widespread reports of terrorism practiced by the legion, adopted a resolution vigorously op- posing" the bands activities aand seeking the cooperation of all law abiding citizens in the "elimination of these disintegrating and destruc- tive forces"
 The cult, whose oath and bylaws stamp 1t as anti-C Catholic, anti Jew, anti-Negro and anti-communist, is neither Protstant nor American" !" the resolution said.
 McCrea was to continue his in- vestigation of an alleged woman's auxiliary, disclosed in @ converse ton with A. F. Lupp, ST., reported to be state commander of the le- zion.
 Prosecutor Owen Dudley of Jack son county, whose grand jury in. vestigation of the Legion's activities in that area has resulted in kid. naping warrants against five men, said that many Legiannaires have volunteered information about the fiogging of Hartley Smith, Norvell farmer, who sought to leave the organization after being forced to take its oath.
 Smith Tells His Story
 Smith related how he had been invited to attend a party by two neighbors and had gone in an auto- mobile to a field some miles outside of Jackson.
 There was quite @ crowd there, with three men in these robes," he said. We were told we were going to be taken into the organization, which was the Black Legion.
 They made me get on my knees to take the oath. One man held a gun on my chest. I was scared. I can't remember the oath now, but 1t was @ terrible one, all about mangling and killing"
 Smith said he recognized the voice of the man who administered the oath a8 that of Ray Ernest, former Jackson prison guard and one of the five named in the war rants.
 Justice of the Peace Ernest J. Rogers in charge of the Jackson inquiry, characterized 1t as well on the road to success" adding that victims are volunteering informa. ton now that it is apparent they will be protected"
 No Jurisdiction
 Washington, May 27--(UP)-At. torney General Homer 8. Cummings said today he had received ma re. quest for a federal investigation of the Black Legion" activities.
 Cummings believes there is no federal jurisdiction in the case and said that, as far as he know, no federal statutes were involved in the legion's alleged arocities.
 I'm following 1t only through the newspapers" Cummings said.
