Chessman Wins
Stay of Execution
For Further Appeal
WASHINGTON, (#> — The Su
preme Court today granted a stay
of execution for Caryl Chessman,
under sentence to die Friday in
California’s gas chamber.
The stay was granted to per
mit the convict-author to file a
new appeal. The appeal must be
filed by November 3.
Counsel for Chessman had
asked Justice Douglas to grant a
stay, but Douglas referred the re
quest to the full court.
In granting the stay, the court
noted that Chief Justice Warren
had disqualified himself from the
case. Warren is a former Gover
nor of California.
The decision to grant a stay
thus was made by eight Justices.
Friday’s death date — now
voided — was the seventh that
had been set for Chessman, who
has spent llVfe years in San Quen
tin Prison’s death row. A series
of appeals kept him from exe
cution.
Now 38, Chessman was accused
of a variety of crimes as a Los
Angeles lovers lane bandit who
robbed and engaged in sexual
assaults.
The death sentence was on con
viction of kidnap-robbery.
