is acting as one of the lawyers for himself. In a five-page brief written with! pen and ink in his cell and bristlh legal terminology he contend: President Coolidge has "immorally and unlawfully" employed the commutative power as an instrumment of force. The president has commuted ('hapman's sentence of 25 years to Atlanta for robbing the mails in New York in may hang in Connecticut for killing A policeman after he had cscaped from Atlanta. Chapman's lawyers plan to gO as far as the United States Supreme Court if necessary to prove that he first should serve his federal sentence before being executed in Connecticut. Chapman was sentenced to die Thursday, but the governor yesterday reprieved him until March because of habeas corpus proceedings which will be argued in federal court Monday, In cell piled high with law books yesterday Chapman handed his brief to one of his lawyers, Frederick J.

Groehl. In some 500 words, many of them long, and syntax that would please a rhetorician, Chapman contends that the fundamental idea of the presidential power to commute is that it shall be used with good will and merciful intent and that privileges under it "shall be gifts and not punitive or inimical forces to place lives and liberties in further jeopardy." Groehl said thot there was only one mistake of legal nature. In the document chapman attributed the commutation power to a legislative act, whereas it is conferred by the constitution. Chapman's brief is to be used in large part in Grochl's arguments in court. It is also to be argued that Chapman's transfer to the Connecticut state prison from Atlanta, for trial as a murderer, was unlawful.

It is contended that the only legal reasons for transfer are unsafe condition of a prison, cruel treatment or ill health.
