the supreme court or Gov. M. Clifford Townsend intervene. Three others convicted in the case — William Kuhlman. Frank j Gore Williams and John Poholsky I —went to the chair last summer I In Indiana's first triple execution. Defense attorneys based their appeal on "death house" statements of Poholsky and Kuhlman in which they exonerated Hicks. They also claimed that Hicks’ pur- j ported confession had been ole ■ tained under duress. "The confession was made by l Hicks under the influence of fear | produced by threats and intimida- j tlon. He had been questioned fori 30 hours during hot weather with- j I out sleep, food or permission to see an attorney," chief defense . attorney S. L. Blakley of Coving- ' ton. Ky., argued. I Blakley asserted that Miller was | murdered in Kentucky and not in Indiana and therefore the courts

. of this state had no jurisdiction. I He declared that Hicks was con- j vlcted on "framed" evidence. Affidavits of Poholsky and Kuhl man taken before their execution and claiming that Hicks was inno- j cent were filed with the supreme court. The attorney claimed these affidavits "almost have the dignity of dying statements.” State’s attorneys attacked the 1 affidavits on the grounds they 1 never were before the trial court ; and for this reason were not proI perly before the supreme court.
