Widow testifies in Cleary murder trial in New York
In Newbury New York on December 18 the jury heard Anna Cleary Newman testify for her mother, former Haverstraw town clerk, revealing a long secret romance with Eugene Newman. She and Cleary’s son-in-law were married July 18, and Cleary collapsed with emotion when approached on the stand. The defense pressed for a partial defense relying on a psychiatrist, while rebuttal argued the shock did not excuse the killing. Attorneys planned further summations as the case neared its end with the judge’s charge expected by noon.
