DELAY SOUGHT
BY DEFENSE IN
HICKMAN CASE
s.,.
Would Postpone Sentence
Until Next Week; Year
of Litigation Seen.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11-At-
torneys for William Edward Hick-
man planned move today, which,
if successful would delay until Tues
day. at least, a sentence of death ex-
4, pected to be given the conviced
slayer of 12-year-old Marion Parker.
When court convened today
Jerome Walsh and Richard Can
tillon, youthful defense counsel,
were prepared to present a motion
for new trial, based on a con-
tention that Judge Trabucco erred
in his instructions to the jury and
also on a ruling during Hickman's
sanity trial.
If the defense motion is denied,
Sudge Trabucco may impose upon
Hickman, declared sane and guilty
Of kidnapping and murder, either
death by hanging or life imprison-
r1ent at hard labor.
Under the statutes Of California
Hickman, il sentenced to die and
all appeals are denied, cannot be
hanged for at least sixty days.
Little Worry About Penalty
There seemed little doubt, even
in the minds of Hickmans attor-
neys, but that Judge Trabucco
would demand the death penalty.
The prospect of long legal
struggle was strengthened by an
nouncement of Walsh and Cantil-
Ion that if their motion for a new
trial is denied they will appeal the
case, if necessary, to the United
States Supreme Court.
Such an appeal would be based,
they said, on the contention that
Hickman had not been tried on his
guilt or innocence and that conse-
quently he is being deprived of his
constitutional right.
The move against the conStitu-
tionality of the California law had
been predicted generally before the
verdict was announced.
Attack on Law Expected
Legal experts had prophested that
the law, which accepted Hickmans
plea of mot guilty by reason of in
sanity" as an admission of the crime,
would be attacked.
Walsh declared
"Under the constitution Hickman
is guaranteed a trial on his guilt or
innocence, if he pleaded not guilty
He did this but had only sanity
hearing"
Walsh said that in his opinion it
would be year before litigation in
Hickmana's case is settled.
Through all the discussion of his
case Hickman maintained his usual

He joked with his jailers and
laughed at the verdict.
I'm sane, know, but Of course,
I also realize that there is something

who kept close vigil to prevent a
possible suicide attempt.
