"Caryl Whittier Chessman (May 27, 1921 May 2, 1960) was a convicted robber, kidnapper and serial rapist who was sentenced to death for a series of crimes committed in January 1948 in the Los Angeles area. Chessman was charged with 17 counts and convicted under a loosely interpreted "Little Lindbergh law" later repealed, but not retroactively that defined kidnapping as a capital offense under certain circumstances. His case attracted worldwide attention, and helped propel the movement to end the use of capital punishment in the state of California. While in prison, Chessman was considered vexatious, with one judge writing in 1957, "playing a game with the courts, stalling for time while the facts of the case grow cold." Chessman wrote four books, including his 1954 memoir Cell 2455, Death Row. The book was adapted for the screen in 1955 and stars William Campbell as a character modelled after Chessman.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Octavo, hardcover, VG in black boards, white lettering on spine. No jacket. 361 pp. 3rd printing. :Here is the story of a man condemned to death in 1948 ,convicted of robbery, automobile theft, and kidnapping with associated bodily harm. He received the death penalty under the "Little Lindbergh Law" of California in connection with the kidnapping and murder of Mary Alice Meza. He is, or has been by his own admission, a psychopathic hoodlum, a criminal with no pretensions to education or refinement. Yet he still lives while these words are being written (although he may be dead before the book appears) as the result of an almost superhuman effort to master the intricacies of law and stay his own execution indefinitely. For eight years he has defended himself brilliantly -- but he has mastered more than legal profundities. He has found time to read widely, and he has proved himself and natural writer with a hypnotically gripping style; in his own life he has the perfect subject for the exercise of his genius.".
