BITTER FIGHT
TO SAVE LIFE
Gerald Chapman's Battle to
Save His Neck in the
Final Stage.
SHEAN IS FLAYED
Attorney for. Chapman. 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.

"Let him live to repent," de

state attorney that this man may
