Mental health transfer follows violent incident at jail
Kenneth became violent in the same court house where he will be tried and was moved to Bridgewater State Hospital for the criminal insane. Alienists deemed him sane on return to his cell. Margaret McMath, central to the case, is expected to testify. A man lured Peggy from Herwich Center grammar school on May 2, used a phony telephone repairman ruse, then claimed to McMath and had her dismissed early. Peggy was found unharmed May 5 after three days hidden near the edge of a cranberry bog.
