Ray M. Wiley of Springfield.
Mass. of counsel for Chapman.
reached Washington today to make
the appeal. The Supreme court is in
recess an i the case must be handled
with Justices ihdlvldually.

It is understood his grounds are
that he wants to bring up for re-
view some new phases which have
arisen recently in the case.

It is within the power of an in-
dividual justice to. grant a stay
pending the submission of the. case
to the court. Granting of stay would
depend upon the ability of counsel
to satisfy the justice, that there has
been a development in the case luf-
flclcnt. to warrant it. since a writ. for
review was recently denied Chap-
man by the court. Should a stay be
granted it would be impossible for
the court to pass upon any petition

until it reassemble: April 12.
