"How can you,” he said, “in a civilised community, keep a man under sentence of death for half a lifetimer if you evente Chessman in the end, you won't be executing the man who committed Chessman's crines.
"He's a different personality altogether. You might just as well take a passerby of the street and execute hini tu order to vindicate the läio,”
A letter had bern delivered to Chessman in San Quentin prison from Iris Bentley of Loudes,
Misa Bentley, sister of Derek Bentley, the 18-year-old English boy who was hanged eight years ago in a highly controversial murder case, expressed her sympathy für Classman and her hopes that the death penalty would be uboltaked in America,
