Lawyer Says Chessman Tried To Protect Child
SAN FRANCISCO AP The attorney for Caryl Chessman says the convicted sex offender chose death in San Quentin's gas chamber to avoid revealing the real culprit who attacked his 17 year old daughter. George T. Davis said Chessman feared reprisals against the girl, his sole survivor, if he named the man in the 1948 Los Angeles rape and child abuse case. He was executed Monday and denied his guilt while refusing to identify the alleged killer. Chessman feared the governor and attorney general would dismiss any claim, saving his family from danger. His marriages and daughter were not publicly disclosed before.
