MacDonald, who takes over his new duties tomorrow, will get $5,000 Defense Denies State Charge That Choirman Slew Wife for Love of Girl Prosecutor Attacks Him for Shifting Blame Worcester, Sept. 30 (JPj Asserting the defendant was not to be tried at the bar of public opinion, Defense Counsel William W. Buckley began the closing argument In behalf of Newell P. Sherman, choir singer charged with drowining his wife, today.

Buckley charged the State had failed to establish a motive through Sherman's infatuation for Esther Magill, with whom he admitted intimate relations. "She knew he was a married man" he said as he described clandestine meetings and love making. Buckley declared he had no desire "to denounce Esther Magill." Denies Motive for Killing Sherman, asserted the lawyer, "was not a seducer." Buckley claimed his client observed a probationary period allowed by his wife, during which he was to make up his mind about the girl. Sherman chose to remain with his wife, the lawyer argued, therefore had no motive for killing her. time shortly before his wile gave birth to his second child.

Assails Babylonian Woman He cited Sherman's testimony he allowed his wife $1 a week and 25 cents a week for each of the children. He painted a picture of the bulky choir singer "kissing and fondling the buxom and attractive young woman" throughout a period he insisted he loved his wife. "He paraded his Babylonian woman in God's house," Hoban charged, reminding the Jury how Sherman took Esther to a church party. His wife gave him time to decide about Esther. Hoban told the Jury no one lived to confirm Sherman's claim.

Deutsch today declared that the fight for lower electric rates will receive new Impetus from Supreme Court Justice Dore's decision holding Mayor LaGuardia's yardstick power plan was Illegal. "If the decision is sustained on appeal, it merely means we must alter our attack, but does not impair the certainty of our ultimate success," said Mr, Deutsch. Meanwhile Corporation Counsel Windels was preparing to file the city's appeal from the Dore decision. At the same time Mayor LaGuar-dia launched a bitter attack on the power interests and moved to make the power question an issue in the campaign for Assembly seats.

Seeks Jokerless Bill The Mayor announced his intention of asking the aid of all New York State mayors in his battle to have the next Legislature pass a jokerless power bill. He will seek to have the Legislature authorize the creation of a City Power Authority to build and operate a plant and for clarification of the law so that a city may build a plant any way it wishes. The city's hope of winning a reversal of Justice Dore's decision was understood to be slight on the basis of the present law. Mr, LaGuardia repeated his assertion that Juttice Dore had to rule as he did because of the joker which he charges was slipped into one of the power bills passed in 1934. Governor Lehman declined to comment on the decision or on his opinion of the Mayor's plan to have the next Legislature amend the law.

Maybe She'll Marry The little star confessed she detested the Hollywood climate, was aghast at the rigorous routine of a movie star working nine hours a day, complained she lost five pounds and bemoaned the fact that she can have no private life. "Maybe, perhaps," she replied coyly to questions of whether she shall marry again. "To whom, that I'm not saying," she went on. To her French accent, she added a note of mock tragedy and asked: "Why, oh why, can't I have a private life?" Aside from the climatic conditions and the long working hours which were responsible for losing five cherished pounds, Mme.

Pons said she "adored" Hollywood and loved making movies. Not So Bad Movie "I Dream Too Much," her first cinema, is a "not too bad" story, she said, and she did not miss her audience because the "directors and everyone were so sweet." Mme.

Curtiss, the late aviation pioneer, and G. Carl Adams, Mayor of Miami Springs, died today at her residence at Miami Springs. Her death was attributed to the infirmities of old age.

station came running over and wanted to know what was the idea. Also fire engines began to arrive as Mrs. Organ, still clutching the wedding invitations, tried to explain. Patrolman Glickhouse placed her under arrest on a charge of sending in a false alarm of fire. Repeating her story before Magistrate Brodsky in the Bridge Plaza Court, she was given a suspended sentence.

Magistrate Brodsky expressed the opinion that it was "an honest mistake." To Mrs. Rebecca Organ, 46, who never writes letters, the task she had this morning supplied a double thrill. First, she was allowed the privilege of mailing about 60 invitations to the wedding of her daughter, To-bie, on Oct. 27. Second, she was going to get a look inside that little red box on the corner of Driggs Ave.

She left her home, 875 Driggs quite proudly at precisely 8:58 a.m. She walked to the corner, turned the handle on the red box, opened the door, pulled down the hook and tried to find the slot she was supposed to Glenn Curtiss being born of her first marriage.
