McCall Execution
Is Given A Stay
MIAMI. Pla., July II — (*v~
The electrocution of franklin
Pierce McCall for the kidnaping
of Jamee Bally Oaah. Jr.. waa
atayed today.
Circuit Judge H. P. Atkinaon
granted MoCall's counsel, C A.
Avrielt, a writ of error permit-
ting an appeal to the State Su-
prome Court. The writ is return-
able Oct. 31. The execution, ache,
duled the week of July 36, Is auto-
matically atayed.
"The principal contention we
will make," Avrlett aald, "wNl be
that owing to the peculiar wording
of the kidnap atatute the defend-
ant, pursuant to a plea of guilty,
should have the benefit of a jury
paaalng upon the point of whether
he la entitled to a recommenda-
tion of mercy."
The sUte'a "Lindbergh law"
provides death for violation un-
less a Jury should recommend
life Imprisonment. Judge Atkin-
son conducted McQall's trial with,
out a jury and the death sentence
waa conaldared mandatory.
