Beal pardon urged by lawyers in Raleigh
Lawyers for Fred Erwin Beal former Communist serving 17 to 20 years for conspiring to murder Gastonia police chief argued to Paroles Commissioner Edwin Gill that Beal should be pardoned for three reasons. They claim Beal did not commit the crime, he is not the same Beal as in 1929, and the governor who led the prosecution knows the case best. A clemency petition signed by AFL President William Green and various church and civic leaders was cited. Beal entered prison last year after a trip to Russia, with counsel saying Beal has since become a different man and would prefer jail in the United States to Soviet Russia.
