CHAPMAN GETS
 FORMAL NOTICE
(Contlnu.d from First Page)
Refuses to Accept

IL was exactly 11:07 a. m, when the warden and the lawyers left the office of the prison for Chapman's cell 10 notify him of the action of the president. The warden and De- tective Hickey returned IS minutes later. but Attorneys Freedman and Murphy remained until 1l;5s. con versing with Chapman and outlining their course of procedure fin com batting the new move of the state.
 When the warden approached Chapman's cell he told him he had document to read to him which was done. When the warden had concluded Chapman declared em. piratieally that under no circum- stances would he accept the com mutation, thus carrying out instruc- tons that had been previously given him by counsel.
 It is generally admitted that the communication will be tho states for nal answer to the writ Of habeas corpus served on the warden Tues day afternoon. and ordering him 10 produce Chapman in the federal court and to show cause why he should not be returned to Atlanta to complete the service of his sentence h the federal penitentiary. The hcoring will, however, be held at the prison next Monday.
 Tho States Reply
 When the case comes before Judge Thomas at the prison Mon day morning, the states return 10 the writ will be claim that Chap mans sentence having been com mutei, he is no longer federal prisoner and cannot be returned to the federal prison but is now under the sole Jurisdiction Of the state of Connecticut. Chapman's refusal to accept the commutation will fur nish the ground for the legal con troversy which is expected to get to the supreme court Of the United States. Chapman's counsel will con tend that the accused has every right to refuse to accept commu- tation. but the state and the Ad- eral government claim to be pFe- pared to meet this claim at every step Of the way. The main differ ence between a pardon and con- mutation of sentence is that a par don would have carried with 1t { complete restoration of citixknship which Chapman might welll have l declined to accept if he saw ft.

thing. 1t Is pointed out, and mere ly means that the federal govern. ment by action of the president, has decreed that Chapman will no longer be punished for the crime for which he was sentenced In New York. It was pointed out in legal circles today that If Chapman was In position 10 refuse a commuta- ton Of sentence, 1t would place him In a position of informing the federal government it must take care Of him for the next twenty three years, regardless Of whether 1t desired to do so, The contention Of the state will undoubtedly be that the sentence Of any prisoner may be commuted, regardless of the prisoners inclinations In the matter.
 The communication, regardless Of tho refusal of acceptance. now places Chapman in tho custody Of the warden as an agent of the state of Connecticut and would make his execution on December legal.
New Britain herald., 1925-11-25
May Defer Execution

On December 3. possibly, MT. AL corn maintains a second reprieye will be requested fin his behalf and this will defer the time Of execution pending the final settlement of the legal points involved.
 Mir. Acorn today announced he would request the governor to grant such a reprieve, but was not sure whether the request would be made today or on Friday. Mir. Alcorn re- turned from Washington Tuesday evening and will prepare the request for the postponement of execution. today if he has the opportunity. The fact that defense counsel desire to take their case to the federal courts creates a situation that makes the reprieve desirable. This action by Chapman's counsel, will be predicat- ed on the writ of habeas corpus they are now pursuing and the president tial commutation of the federal sen tence, so far as they are concerned, becomes part of that action.
