Truman attacks Case bill as false start on permanent labor reform

Supreme Court refuses to intervene in Willie Francis retrial bid
Willie Francis, 18, who survived the May electric chair misfire, seeks a second execution. The U S supreme court refused to rule on his appeal challenging a second death sentence for the 1960 killing of druggist Andrew Thomas during a robbery in St Martinville Louisiana. Governor Jimmie Davis and Baton Rouge officials prepared for a new death warrant while reprieve remains in effect to await higher court action. DeBlanc, his attorney, signaled possible further measures citing constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment and double jeopardy. Francis remains under reprieve pending further orders from the governor and potential rehearing options.
