Sunday, Feb. 14, 1000 Caryl Chessman Prof iled By CHARLES ELWELL SAN QUENTIN, Calif. INEA1 I was seated alone, locked in small peagreen cell, waiting. The ceil contained a table, two chairs, an ashtray. A set of iron gates opened into a dim corridor from the innards of San Quentin prison. Caryl Chessman was late. An elevator grill slammed open somewhere in the corridor, and there was the sound of marching feet. The prisoner arrived, in for mation, guards front and back. THERE WAS A LOUD and com plicated opening of the gales Chessman wailed, a lean six footer,- slightly stooped, thumbs hooked in the pockets of his jeans On command, he entered the cell and took the seat opposite me There was the clatter ot metal on metal as the gates were bolted into place. We faced each other alone; two strangers. I am a writer. I am also a citi zen. A world controversy has raged about this man for more than a decade. Caryl Chessman, known as California's "Red Light Bandit," has been convicted of kidnap and rape. He is scheduled to die Tuesday in a gas chamber not far from where we are seated. What sort of a man is Chessman? "Caryl," I said, "I do not want to go into all the legalities. You can understand that, Chessman nodded. The finast legal minds in Ihe stale of California have been arguing the technicalities of this case for 11 years. "Caryl, you have said you are :!iiiwii!lyr aMm7'" ""jJT'rrr-" t "'.l" '-'"" A QUALITY DEALER AWARD was presented to Jim Olson by Chrysler Corporation at a special dinner at the Willard Hotel Thursday noon.

Now looking back, do you feel a sense of remorse for these crimes? Chessman was clearly impatient with the question. He pressed his palms on Ihe table, and answered: "I COULD SAY, 'Yes, I feel re morse.' And what would it prove1 Would it undo the things lhat have been done? No. 1 would only please the craving of a lot of peo ple. What I do feel is this. I have not lived usefully. More important, I have not been fair to my own potential."

TU 4-8188 3t . . . author By News Service Scribe asked, "do you mean your legal ability or your writing talent?" "My writing," he said. "As for the law, I would gladly touch a match to all those law books. I am 36 years old. I have published three books. I don't think of my self as a writer who has arrived. I am not sure how much of my success has to be attributed to notoriety. But in time, I think I could become a good writer that my work could stand on its own literary merit. "Would you say, Caryl, thai after all these years in prison you have learned something about yourself and the compulsions that led you to criminal violence: ...lawyer Chessman's face darkened. "YOU MEAN AM I still a psy chopath or nut? That's what you mean, isn t it .' Let s get aown 10 it. Let me put it this way. I've been all over the past. The ' thing I've learned is that using your anger for creation is more satisfy ing that using it for destruction I still have the anger. But I have found when I get mad I can sit down and pound it out on my typewriter." As Chessman talks, one has the impression of the powerful single mindedness of the man. He raps the table with a stubby finger, spelling out his points. The badly broken and bent nose in the long hardened face seems incongruous. Chessman is a spell binder; a master of the language Yet, one's eye and thoughts keep returning to that nose. One of the victims and her boy friend said that the bandit's mask slipped from his face and that they had a clear look at him. They told the court that the man they saw was Chessman. Chessman was telling me now about a book he wanted to write on Francois Villon, the 15th Cen tury French lyric poet. Villon was the leader of a ban dit gang," Chessman explained. "He was condemned to die, you know, and then commuted and banished from France. Nobody knows what ever happened to him." Changing the subject. I asked a reporter's question. "Caryl, you have been repeatedly described as arrogant. What is your reaction when you read that?" "SOME OF THE PAPERS say I am arrogant. Some editorial writers picture me as a fiend with horns and dripping fangs. Arro gance is all part of the legend that has been built up around me. Now, I may have more than my share of ego. But survival calls for a de gree of ego. On Death Row, you can't be self-effacing and modest, and live." "How would you describe life on death row? Is fear the dominant emotion?" "There is fear, of course," he said. "But there is more bravery than you would expect. There is a communal feeling. If one man gets A -. J ! Jav - I T" y out, we are all happy.

What are your views on religion now.'" "I HAVE NO views on that I am an agnostic. That is, I simply don't know. I await further evi dence. In a few days, they say ... or rapist? I'm going to die.
