Chapman May Live Year By Federal Court Action
NEW HAVEN Nov 23 AP Gerald Chapman sentenced to die December 3 for the murder of a policeman at New Britain will seek relief next Monday at 10 am before United States District Judge Edwin L Thurston in the Board of Pardons room at the state prison. A writ of habeas corpus prepared by his counsel was signed and will prompt action in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and possibly the Supreme Court. Gov. Trumbull indicated a second reprieve may be issued pending federal action. The defense contends Chapman was illegally transferred from the Atlanta penitentiary to the Wethersfield state prison and challenges the legality of his confinement before completing the 25 year mall robbery sentence. Lawyers said the action raises constitutional questions never before tested. The signing occurred about 3:05 pm as courtiers and reporters gathered in the district courtroom and nearby.
