Calif Files Chessman Brief in High Court
California’s brief in opposition to Caryl Chessman’s appeal was filed with the U S Supreme Court. Chessman, death row author sentenced to death in May 1948 in Los Angeles County for kidnapping with bodily harm, may abandon his fight if unsuccessful. The state argues fraud in final transcript preparation. Chessman contests pages transcribed before death of reporter Brngst F. Perry. The appeal, before the high court again by order from October 1955, challenges the transcript and trial proceedings as to identification and charges including kidnapping and bodily harm.
