LARRY CHAPMAN
PRISONER HERE,
MMKUuATKI)
Says Wrong Man Convicted
Of Oregon Murder
Last February
fsi" it' ' . 1
Mf JIM STORY
Larry Chapman, 25-year-old
youth of Greeneville, Tennessee,
is in the Madison County jail
awaiting trial on charges on bank
adsttnt manipulations in several
states including North Carolina
where he was arrested after at
tempting the open and close bank
accounts at a local bank after
ffiictasing a used car on a lot
here. ,
After being arrested by Sheriff
Ponder and placed in the local
jail, the young black-haired,
brown-eyed man revealed how the
scheme worked and implicated
others in the Marshall case. Not
only did Chapman admit to sever
al other check counts but also ad-
rT;rr
:l , rr, cir, 'rrr' rzrT1 population
dred dollars. He explained
how he and others entered the
school and his job was "to open
the safe."
Talkative and pleasant, Chap
man then revealed to Sheriff Pon
der his implication in a murder
Sfcsf
murder and toM tfietn what Chap
man had confessed as being a wit
ness at the murder and was pos
itive that Lee Hanson, who was
later convicted and sentenced to
28-30 years, was not the man who
murdered the victim, Sharon Ann
Griffin, of Vancouver.
Following numerous telephone
calls to Oregon officers and be
ing convinced that Chapman def
initely knew quite a bit about the
murder, Sheriff Ponder also con
tacted Anmy camps and prison
camps where Chapman had been.
To further clarify the truthful
ness of Chapman, Oregon officials
requested Sheriff Ponder to take
Chapman to Raleigh for interro
gation by the S.B.I.
Sheriff Ponder, accompanied by
this writer, took Chapman to Ra
leigh last Monday where Chap
man underwent lie-detector ttsts.
Also, Oregon officials sent De
tective Allen E. McDaniek to
Marshall to interrogate Chapman.
IMcDaniels arrived in Marshall
Wednesday and talked at .ength
with Chapman and Sheriff Pon-
and the trial.
At this time further investiga
tion'is being made as to whether
or not Chapman is a wild dream
er, a .vicious liar as well as
young but hardened -criminal or
whether Chapman is 'tired of hav
ing this knowledge of the murder

Special Session Of General
Assembly To Be In
January
A federal court ruled Tuesday
that North Carolina must realign
its legislature and H congres
sional districts strictly on the ba
sis of population.
The state was warned that if
the legislature does not act on re
apportionment by Jan. 81, 1966,
the court itself will fashion a
scheme of apportionment which
will permit the 1964 primaries
and elections to proceed on a just
and equitable basis. j
Sources said Got. Dan Moore
probably would call a special ses
sion of the legislature by Jan. 1CU
The governor himself declined
comment on the decision "until I
have time to study it completely."
The ruling will affect bom the
North Carolina Senate sad the
State House of Representatives.
Currently, the Senate is based
primarily on population, the
House partly an population, part
ly on geography.
The special court said there
were some sharp variances in the
present Senate alignment which
must be corrected and the House
V Representatives must be estab-
f lines.
Under North Carolina taw, each
of the 100 counties has one repre
sentative, regardless of popula
tion, with an additional 20 House
members divided among the most
