Attorneys File New Appeal In Caryl Chessman's Case SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (UP) The attorneys for author-convict Caryl Chessman have filed a new appeal in an attempt to save him from execution in the San Quen tin Prison gas chamber July 15. The attorneys, Bei-wyn A. Rice and Jerome Duffy, said they are asking for a stay of execution and a writ of Certiorari, claiming an appellate court never has reviewed any of Chessman's six appeals. They, said that Chessman has only recently earned the money to obtain depositions and legal counsel. The court is in recess until Oc tober. Duffy said Chessman "be lieves he should be alive at the time the court acts on his petition. Even as the appeal was being filed, federal judges of the Ninth Circuit went on record as favoring a move to outlaw repeated federal court reviews of death sentences such as those filed by Chessman The proposed legislation en dorsed by the judges of seven western states this week would forbid state felons from petition ing for writs of habeas corpus in lower federal courts except in special cases involving a substant ial federal question not previously raised. National Scandal. Chief Justice. William Denman of the Ninth Circuit Court of Ap peals said the legislation, now be fore Congress, is designed to put I an end to cases such as that of Chessman. He said that case was "national scandal." I Chessman was convicted in Los Angeles in 1948 on multiple counts of robbery, rape and kidnaping. He has managed to avoid execution for seven years by filing a series of legal petitions, many in federal court. He is the author of "Cell 2455. Death Row," and "Trial By Ordeal." ! Justice, Denman, who granted Chessman's most recent review. said the purpose of the bill "is to distinguish state felonies from federal felonies and to get away from the ridiculous situation we had in Chessman, who year after year kept himself in litigation to get himself out of the pas house." Comparing Text Meanwhile, prison authorities were busy comparing the advance copy of Chessman's new book, "Trial by Ordeal," with the manu script they confiscated from him last March.
