Alcorn Objects State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn pjected, saying he thought the de- fnse should closo the case. Gov« ‘'nor Trumbull :rmission to talk and asked what ocedure would be used, Groehl 1d that the board of pardons was pt a court and called attention to e fact that he was asking emency for his client. He wanted s cllent to plead for himself, roehl said. “He is golng to be hanged to- ght — tomorrow morning — must 1l his story., Use fnso, you have ft, T know you e it. Oh, don't let this thing pppen,” (the hanging) sald Mr. rochl, Chapman made no motion, clal or otherwise, at this refer- ice to hanging. Prosccutor’s Challenge Mr. Alcorn said that he did not how Chapman could expect emency from the board. “I am terly amazed that with a year to pllect these affidavits with the iexpended million dollars stolen om the United States mails, I am terly amazed that he has only ght witnesses, with want ads al- ost broadcast for witnesses."” Aleorn cried out, “If Gerald hapman 18 not hanged, the state Connecticut. has committed a [ime against eryone that hag ben hanged.” He sald if the board fanted Chapman clemency it ould put them in the position of perruling President Coolidge and e United States supreme court, e pointed out that on Chapman’s | poviction, when he was asked for statement the condemned man id, “I have nothing to say."

The ecleverest man hunters in the New York po- | lice department set out on his trall. Men who were known to be his in- | timates were watched with the hope that they would lead detectives to his lalr. Every effort seemed to meet with failure. Chapman had | vanished. Suspects were taken into | custody in numeérous towns and hope that bubbled high at each arrest, burst time and again. The belier was beginning {o take root that Chapman never would be captured. Agaln doubt arose that Skel. slay- er was Chapman. The world was eléctrified on Janu- ary 18, 1025, with the news that Chapman had been arrested i Muncie, Indiana, on a clue discov- ered at local police headquarters. It was only a slender clue—an ad- dress on the bottom of a traveling bag——but taken in conneetion with other information which the police had, it proved to be an arrow point- ing in the right direction and Chap- man was taken into the toils. He his trial was arranged. Btate's At- torney Hugh H. Alcorn produced wit s who {identified him as a man seen leaving Davidson & Leven- thal's after the shooting. A tense moment arrived during the trial when Policeman Alfred Atwater, who had been sent to the depar | ment store with Skelly and Polic and Walter Malona to investigate a report that there as the gunman who had fired the fatal shot as he was descending {he stafrcase leading from the office of the department stors to the floor whero Skelly was anding. | Atwater's courage In facing the killer had been questioned and he | was subjected to gruelling question- ing by counsel for the defense, but | he remained adamant in his identif { cation of Chapman. This was the | strongest link in the chain of evi- | dence which the state had forged. | | Sensational Trial | necticut was 8o replete with thrilis. | It was one topie of conversation in | store and factory, fn homes and on | the street. The diffieulty in select- ‘lng a jury created acute inter | Panel after panel of talesmen wa ! oxhausted. The Jury complate, | battie of legal brains ensued between | State's Attorney Alcorn on one side | and Judge Groehl and Attorneys | | Murphy, Wiley and Freedman on | the other. [ And hore a strange phenomenon | occurred—the public which had been clamoring for the hlood of the | man who shot “Jim" Skelly sudden- | 1y switched in its sentiment, partly {fifluenced by the romance which had been woven into a wreath and | placed on the head of the man on trial. As he sat in the courtroom | watching State's Attorney Aleorn spin & web of evidence before Judge | Newell Jonnings of Bristol and the | {jury of 12 expressionless men who | wero passing on his fate, Chapman | remained calm and composed, the | model of the eriminal ko pop fiction. Only by his eyes was it pos- | sible to know that he was more than | | mildly Inforested in the proceedings. | But those eves swept the courtroom | [ at o glanco, sceming to fix every per- | s5on present in Chapman's mind, and | vet hesitating only for a moment on | | any individual or on any object. At | times Chapman appearad bored; oc- casionaily he whispered to his law- | vers; never did he reveal any indi- cation of excitement | When the jury retired an eager | public set aside all other intere to await the verdiet. It scemed tc e generally expected that tha jury wonld disagree. The verdict of guilty came as a surprise. On April | 4, 1025, a year ago yesterday, Judge | {Jennings septenced Chapman to he anged on June 25. He was re-| {moved to Wethersfield prison and his lawyers began making efforts to zain a new trial. Two reprieves were granted Governor John H. Trumbull, first to allow the Connecticut |preme court of errors to pass his appeal for a new trial !conrt reported on November 1825, that there was no occasion a new trial and Chapman was scr |tenced to be hanged on December 3 'he second reprieve was to allow his lawyers to take other legal steps | |to protect their client. Final de- |cision was made that he should be | {hanged on April 6. One of Chapman's claims was that President Coolldge was without | authority when he commuted sentence at Atlanta 80 that e might be hanged in Connecticut His claim was refected.
