The Louisiana Supreme Court rejected two last minute pleas to stay Willie Francis’s second execution. The 6 to 2 ruling left Justices Rutledge and Murphy dissenting, with Justice Douglas abstaining due to illness. The court noted the action was without prejudice, allowing Francis’s attorneys to press grave new allegations in Louisiana courts about the first execution attempt and drunken officials. The 1947 case involved Francis in the portable electric chair whose May attempt failed due to mechanical issues.
