Trial halting as Magill couple face murder case
Indictment of Fred H. Magill and his wife Faye Graham Magill halted temporarily after two young women intervene. Marguerite Magill, the accused man's daughter, and Katherine Johnson, a Postal telegraph operator, refuse to aid prosecutors, complicating a case already built on 74 witnesses. Magill maintains his wife killed herself amid ill health and family pressure, while Faye Magill defends their innocence and portrays themselves as victims of gossip.
