MEDFORD Tribune United Pres full Leased Wir United Press Full Leased Wir Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1957 Pittsfield, Mass. (U.PJ Mrs. Reno L. Buratto's twin sons were born 11 miles apart one in the family home at Lee, the other at St. Luke",s hospital here. , Six Pages Caryl Chessman Gets Hearing Next Fall By Supreme Court Washington ttJ.R) The Su preme Court has granted a hear ing to convict - author Caryl Chessman, who has held off exe cution for nine years by his legal maneuvering from his San Quen tin Prison death cell. The court acted on Chessman's ninth petition for review. Argu ments on the case will be sched uled tome time next fall. Later the court will deliver a written opinion. Said Denied Rights The 36-year-old convict, once known as the "lover's lane ban dit of Los Angeles," contended he wag denied his constitutional right to "due process of law" in the lower courts. California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown countered that Chessman's petition was "one of the most scurrilous and misleading" ever to come to his attention. The last round in lower courts was ordered by the U.S. Su preme Court Oct. 17, 1955, to de termine whether fraud occurred in preparing the stenographic record of the original trial. The shorthand reporter died shortly afterward and his notes were transcribed by a substitute. Chessman contended the sec ond reporter fraudulently col laborated with the prosecution. He said the record omitted an er roneous instruction to the jury by the judge. Federal Judge Upheld In hearings in San Francisco, Federal District Judge Louis E. Goodman found no fraud. He wag upheld Oct. 18, 1956, in a 2 to 1 decision by the Ninth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Chessman also sought an order in Goodman's court to establish title to an unpublished novel, "The Kid Was a Killer." The manuscript had been seized by the prison warden, he said. The condemned man won fame by writing two other books en titled "Cell 2455 Death Row," a best-selling autobiography, and "Trial By Ordeal." He was con victed in 1948 on 17 felony charges. They included kidnaping for the purpose of robbery, grand theft and attempted rape. He was the first man doomed under California's "Little Lindbergh" law for kidnapping with bodily harm.
