RELICS OF AN EARLY SETTLEMENT

Newell Paige Sherman (left), scion of a pioneer New Eng= land family, is claimed by the Worcester, Mass., police to have confessed to drowning his wife, Alice (right), after overturning their canoe in Lake Singletary. Love for a young Whitingaville, girl, is the motive given by the police for the crime. The map shows Millbury, where the Shermans had their summer home: Whitingsville, where the "other woman" lived, and Lake Singlet- ary, where Mrs. Sherman met her tragic end.
