Latest Move
By Chessman
Turned Down
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Fed
ral Judge Louis E. Goodman
today turned down condemned
author Caryl Chessman's tafest
bid to escape the San Quentin yas
chamber.
Judge Goodman refused to ferant
the 34-year-old condemned kidnap
rapist a writ of habeas corpus
which would have led to a new
trial.
In an 11-page decision, the judge
said Chessman foiled in an eight-
day hearing beginning Jan. 16 to
prove his claims that the tran
script of his Los Angeles trial
eight years ago was fraudulently
prepared.
Goodman remanded Chessman
to the custody of Warden Hurley
O. Teets at San Quentin and va
cated the stay of execution he had
issued ponding the hearing.
Chessman's attorneys seved no
tice that Goodman's ruling would
be appealed.
Had Goodman granted a writ of
habeas corpus, Chessman proba
bly would have been retried in
Los Angeles. He was convicted
there of rape and kidnaping under ,
California's Little Lindbergh law
which then carried an automatic
death sentence. The law since has
been changed to remove the death
penalty.
Goodman declared there was
"not a scintilla of verity" in
Chessman's charges of fraud.
'The evidence not only does not
dislose the . existence ot a single
fact from which even an inference
of fraud or Impropriety may be,
drawn, but clearly and persuave-
ly shows that the judge, the dis
trict attorney and the court re
porter diligently endeavored. . .to
complete a fair and proper record
and transcript. . .
Goodman noted that It was not
until July, 1954 almost six years
after a sentence was imposed and
three years after the sentence had
been affirmed on appeal that
Chessman raised for the first time
his charges of fraud.
