His attorney, Rosalie Asher, said in Sacramento, Calif., that Chessman had given her the name of the man "who he claims is the red-light bandit." She said Chessman asked her "never to reveal it" and for that rea son she can do nothing with the information.

Chessman has kept the case constantly before the courts by his own legal efforts and those of his attorneys.
