CHAPHAN WILL CONTINUE FIfiHT (Conunued From First Page) another conference before the next move could be made. The maln purpose of the defense—to get the Chapman case back Into the courts ~was checked by the federal court ruling, and it brought from I'red- erick J. Groehl, chief counsel for Chapman, the admlesion that he was “a little bit disappolnted” hut “still fighting.” Judge Thomas' rullng was de- clsive. He could see “no justifica- tlon for granting the petition” and with these words he eliminated all Nopes of the defense of gelting a fourth reprieve through this court for the “sflent prisoner at Wethers- fleld,” who received word of another defeat without comment, As a last resort, the defense prob- | ably will attempt to save the life of | Chapman through the state courts, but even thls program was fn doubt when today's conference was called. | Offers of Help | Many offers of assistance to Chap- man are sald to have heen received | by his attorneys, and those were to | ba studied at the conference with the, hope that some scrap of evi-| dence may be discovered which may be used as the basis for an appeal for a new trlal for Chapman as his hour of doom approaches. Of those who have expressed willingness to come forward and tell their story n behalf of the prisoner, | only one has materlalized. He s Tarl W.
