PUTS CASSIDY AND
WILLETT in JAIL
Justice jerks TO Consider
Doubt Writ Plea-Battle
Over Walter.

"Curley Joe" Cassidy, Of Queens. anc
I William Willett, jr., who were convict
ed in the Supreme Court bench sale
scandal in Brooklyn. were remanded "a
the Raymond street Jail of that Dor
ough yesterday by Presiding Justice
jerks. of the Appellate Division, to re-
main at least until the court decides OF
their applications for writs of reason
able doubt. If Cassidy and Willet lose
they will go TO Sing Sing. If Justice
jerks grants the writs they will be re-
leased on bail, pending the decision of
the Court of Appeals.
In remanding Cassidy and Willett
Justice jerks vacated the stays of exc
cution granted by Supreme Court JUS
tice Stapleton. District Attorney Crop
sey declared that the action of Justice
Stapleton in issuing the stays was not
only unworthy of an incumbent Of an
important constitutional Office" but
was "contemptuous of the higher
court" He said he had searched the
records of his Office and could not find
precedent TO Justice Stapleton' S
order.
Louis T. Walter, the ego between"
in the sale of the nomination to Will
EFT, who was also convicted, did not
get stay of execution. Accordingly
when District Attorney Cropsey called
Walters case in Justice Manning's
court Walter failed TO appear. His
bond of $4,000 was forfeited All this
time Walter was sitting in the Appel
late Division waiting for arguments on
the writ Of reasonable doubt in his
case to begin. Walter cannot be ar
rested because he is awaiting decision
on this application. The writ, how
ever, contained d clause enabling the
District Attorney to produce him IN
court at any time.
Robert II. Elder, former District At
torney and counsel for Cassidy and
Willett, denied that they were fugi-
tives from justice. He asserted that
District Attorney Cropsey made his mo-
ton to vscate Justice Stapleton's order
simply to give him an opportunity to
vent his opinion of the justice and o.
the Appellate Division generally.
