Caryl Chessman Ordered To Be
In Court for Petition Hearing
San Francisco - (UPD - Con
vict-author Caryl Chessman
has been ordered to appear
in federal court Thursday for
a hearing on a petition which
could cancel his eighth ap
pointment with death.
It will be his 13th personal
court appearance since he was
sent to San Quentin Prison's
death row in 1943 after con
viction on charges of kidnap
ing. Tape and robbery.
The 38-year-old convict
presently is scheduled to die
in the gas chamber on Feb.
19. He was scheduled to die
seven times previously, but
on each occasion managed to
win a stay of execution.
The new court appearance
was ordered Monday by U.S.
District Judge Louis E. Good
man. The hearing will deal
with a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus pending before
Goodman.
Chessman's attorney,
George T. Davis, said he may
ask the court to require the
presence of several prominent
Californians, including Gov.
Edmund Brown and Los An
seles County Superior Judge
Walter R. Evans -. who is cur
rently presiding at the Finch
Tregoff murder trial.
Davis said he would also
ask that subpenas be issued
for state Supreme Court Jus
tice B. Rey S c h a u e r; San
Francisco Municipal Judge
Clarence Linn, a former state
assistant attorney general;
Los Angeles prosecutor J.
Miller Leavy; and Stanley
Fraser, court reporter who
transcribed notes of Chess
man s trial.
Chessman contends that
Judge Evans improperly con
sidered Frazer's testimony in
1958 hearings as that of an
expert witness. Chessman
English Language
Full of Toughies,
Speller Declares
St. Louis - IUPD - From a
speller's viewpoint, there are
more toughies in the English
language than any other, ac
cording to W. McLean John
son, president of the Webster
Publishing Co
Johnson, who describes his
firm as the country's largest
Dublisher of spelling text
books is a strong believer in
the need for putting one cor
rect letter after another.
"Good spelling can make a
person just as bad spelling
can break him," . he said.
"What do you think goes
through an employer's mind
when he sees an application
which contains misspellings?"
What makes poor spellers?
"Poor spellers are often
persons who are not big read
ers," Johnson said. "It's near
ly impossible to read a lot and
not be able to spell."
Some Exceptions
He conceded there are some
exceptions.
"Sometimes it's a matter of
carelessness," he said. "A per
son in a specialized field may
write a ' paper containing
spelling errors. Spelling
might not be as important to
him as what he is saying is."
Johnson noted there were
spelling problems in college.
"I believe the reason for the
increase in the number of
poor spellers is simply be
cause more students, from all
educational groups, are at
tending college now, rather
than 'the cream of the crop,'
as was the case many years
ago," he said.
Tops for Half-Sizes
i - r
But Johnson said there is
hope for those who never
know when "e" goes before
"i."
"Words have to be used to
be learned," he said. "Words
must be analyzed-proof-read,
so to speak in order to be
learned. Remedial courses
now available in many school
systems and colleges are help
ful."
Requires Concentration
But any way you look at it,
it requires concentration.
"There are five simple rules
for learning to spell," John
son said. "First, you must
look at a word carefully, then
pronounce it distinctly, noting
the sounds and the presence
of silent letters. It should be
noted whether or not sounds
are spelled as you might ex
pect and if not, what the dif
ferences are. The fourth step
consists of writing the word
without help and finally to
repeat writing until it is en
tirely familiar."
Some poor spellers would
like to throw out the entire
language, start over and elim
inate the stumbling blocks.
"We have no such plans,"
Johnson said with a grin.

Goodman ordered Chess
man brought to court because
defendants have a right to be
present in appeals involving
questions of fact. Chessman
alleged that an order from
Judge Evans on March 13,
1958, was obtained by "fraud
and deceit" of Leavy and Fra
ser. The 1958 hearing was heard
before Judge Evans. It was
ordered by the U.S. Supreme
Court to make required cor
rections in the transcriptions
of the Chessman trial.
The possible subpenas of
Justice Schauer, Judge Linn
and Gov. Brown were con
nected with an affidavit filed
by Chessman on May 4, 1959.
The affidavit said that in
1954 Schauer and Linn con
ferred improperly away from
the presence of defense attor
neys as to how they could cir
cumvent a stay of execution
issued by the late California
Supreme Court Justice Jesse
Carter. It was alleged
Schauer expressed prejudice
and a desire to rush Chess
man's death.
The affidavit was dis
missed, but Schauer later
wrote the court's opinion up
holding Chessman's convic
tion. Brown's connection is
that as attorney general he
was Linn's superior at the
time.
