De clares That Man Who "Peached" on Bandit Is Weakling. (Awwlatrd pra. LeueJ Wire.) HARTFORD, Conn.. April 3. The case agulnst Gerald Chapman, moil looter, accused of the mur der of a policeman In a New Brit ain store robbery was given to the Jury thia afternoon. The court explained that the Jury could return anv one of four verdicts against Chapman first or second degree murder, man slaughter or acquittal. HARTFORD, Conn., April 3 Gerald Chapman's fight for life went into its final stage this morn ing. It was only a matter of a few hours when court opened before the Jury would hold In its hands the power to send Chapman to the fallows or return him to the fed eral penitentiary at Atlanta to complete a twenty-five year sen fence he received on his convic tion as the 2.4O0,0O0 mall truck looter. Resuming hla argument on be half of Chapman, Frederick J. C.roehl again attacked Walter K. Shean. characterizing him as a "weakling." "oru angel friend," Bhean." "a piker." a "lobbygow," and a "rascal". It was Shean, son of a wealthy hotel owner of Springfield, Mass., who told the police that Chapman was the mur derer of Policeman James skelley of New Britain last October 12. Shean, the states star witness, testified that Chapman had Induc ed him to accompany him on a snfe looting expedition in the de partment of Davidson and T,even thal. The police interrupted one of the cracksmen at work. He shot his way to freedom, killing Skelley. Chapman was the gun man, declared Shean. "Do you think it logical, that Chapman, this super-criminal, the supposed looter of a New York mail truck, would choose a weak ling like Shean as his partner on a safe cracking expedition," asked Oroehl. urueiu niso HimcKru ine mine n method of permitting its Idem ifl- ! cation witnesses to take many , looks at the prisoner before they took the stand to swear to their Identification. ' "Let him live to repent," de clared Groehl In closing his sum mation. "Don't let the pleas of the state attorney that this man may again escape from Atlanta, may again be at large, may take your life, or may go out and kill anoth er policeman, unduly influence you.
