Choir Singer Faces Night of Death in Boston
In Boston on August 3, 1935, Newell P. Sherman, 27, faces possible execution tonight if the Massachusetts Supreme Court does not grant a last minute appeal for a new trial. Convicted last October of tipping a canoe and allowing his wife Alice, 22, to drown in Lake Singletary on July 20, 1935, Sherman had claimed the death was an accident. His attorneys seek a new trial, citing trial exceptions and absence of intervention by Governor Curley. The State ties motive to Sherman’s infatuation with Esther Magill, 18, who testified to their car rides and alcohol-fueled roadhouse outings. Sherman testified the confession was coerced and that he testified under duress.
