Decision Expected Today On Mrs Gandhi's Case Conviction Appeal Pending
Indira Gandhi seeks a stay in office while appealing a June 12 verdict in Allahabad that found her guilty on two counts of misusing officials for the 1971 election. Justice Krishna Iyer said he would announce his decision Tuesday and the Supreme Court will reconvene after the summer recess on July 14. The prime minister argues the conviction is flawed and seeks to remain as head of government under a legal provision allowing cabinet members to serve six months without a Parliament seat.

Fowler is one of about 50 men condemned to the North Carolina gas chamber for crimes committed after the Supreme Court's ruling but before new state law went into effect. This followed the state supreme court's ruling that the high court's decision validated only that in the North Carolina which gave the era to waive the death.
