Bailey Case Focused on Last Minute Reappraisal
Renowned author Earl Stanley Gardner asked Governor Patteson for a re evaluation of the Robert Ballerd Bailey murder conviction. The appeal followed a two day probe by Gardner and court officials at the governor’s office as warden Orel J. Skeen requested fresh inquiry into the case. The Bailey death sentence to die in the electric chair August 25 at West Virginia State Penitentiary was described as peculiar and puzzling by Gardner during the conference with state leaders and investigators.

He hints at revising price and wage provisions to empower targeted consumer-level controls and possible new price regimes for inflation and Korea war mobilization.
