Chessman Confident
ew Trial To Result
From Court Decision
San Qjentin. Calif. i? Convict-author
Caryl Chessman 13
"confident'' he will win a new
trial as the result of a U. S.
S'lprerne Court decision order
ing a new hearing in his case
Chessman said yesterday he
believes the ruling opns the
way to ''what I wanted in the
first place a new trial."
"After nine years. I'm right
hack where I started." said the
36-year-old convict. "Ironically
enough, that's progress for me."
Hearing Ordered
In a 5-3 decision, the Supreme
Court set aside his death sen
tence and ordered that a new
hearing be given him in the Cal
ifornia courts to determine the
accuracy of the transcript of his
trial. Persons close to the case
believe he will now go before
Superior Judge Charles Fricke
In Los Angeles.
"You can't be this close to
the gas chamber for nine years
without getting a little pessimist
ic once in a while," Chessman
said. "But I'm confident the
hearings will bring about a new
trial."
A Los Angeles Superior Court
jury found Chessman guilty in
1943 of 17 counts of rape, rob
bery, kidnaping, sexual perver
sion and car theft.
He received the death sen
tence for twice violating the
state's "Little Lindbergh Law"
kidnaping with bodily harm. He
also received two life terms
without possibility of parole, and
sentences totaling 99 years on
the rest of his convictions.
Two days after his trial end
ed, the court reporter who took
the testimony died Another re
porter related by marriage
to the prosecutor took over
I the job of transcribing the
notes.
i In his long battle to over
throw his conviction. Chessman
i has claimed that the courts have
upheld his death sentence on
the basis of this "'prejudicially
incomplete and inaccurate"
transcript.
The Supreme Court said it
did not necessarily agree that
the transcript was all that
Chessman said it was, but it be-
! lieved he "never had his day
in court" on the matter.

calmed Mayflower II today and
sent her plunging off toward -a
triumphant welcome.
The 92-foot ship, replica of the
17th Century square-rigger that
carried the Pilgrims to America,
scudded along on a southwesterly
wind headed for the Nantucket
light ship. She was expected to
rendezvous with dozens of pri
vate yachts near the lightship
some time today.
The Mayflower was sailing
close to treacherous shoal waters
where hundreds of ships have
broken up. Her bow pointed
toward Land's End on the tip of
Cape Cod, a wind-burned sand
spit with sparse wild grass, scat
tered beach cottages and scream
ing gulls.
