Execution of 2 Slayers
Postponed to Nov. 19
For Appeals Decisions
The execution of two convicted
elgvers, scheduled for today has
been postponed until November 19.
The postponement was ordered by
Justice Richmond B. Keech in Dis
trict Court yesterday, pending ac
tion on appeals from the court's
refusal to issue habeas corpus writs'
for the two men.
The convicted men are Reginald
J. Wheeler, 26, and Jesse James
Patton, 22, both colored, convicted
of the holdup-slaying of Maurie L.
Bernstein in his drugstore in the
1700 block of Florida avenue N.W.
in June, 1946.
Their execution date, in effect,
already had been postponed by Dis
trict Court orders, pending action
by the United States Court of Ap
peal* on District Court's refusal to
i3sue habeas corpus writs for the
two men.
Justice Edward A. Tamm last
Monday refused to issue a habeas
corpus writ for Wheeler and on
Wednesday Justice Keech made a
similar refusal as to Patton. Both
of the District Court justices, how
ever. had ordered that the custody
of the two men remain undisturbed,
pending an appeal.
Yesterday's formal postponement
was requested by counsel for the
two men and was not objected to
by Assistant United States Attorney
John D. Lane, representing the
Government. Mr. Lane told the
court he thought the postponement
should be long enough to permit
“complete termination” of appeals
and suggested the November date.
Yesterday's postponement was the
: 10th received by the two men, pend
ing various appeals and a plea for
executive clemency. All appeals
from their District Court conviction
had failed and executive clemency
had been denied.
