Opposes Appeal Os Wife Swap Slayer INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers late Tuesday filed with the clerk of the Indiana Supreme Court a brief in opposition to Thomas Whitaker’s appeal of his "wife swap" murder conviction. Whitaker, Terre Haute, now confined to death row in the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City, was sentenced to die in the electric chair by a Vigo Circuit Court jury for the shooting death of his daughter. Whitaker’s former wife and his son also were killed in a wild shooting spree at Terre Haute in 1957 as the climax to a strange "wife swap” ar - rangement between Whitaker and Stewart Martin, a long - time friend. The Supreme Court on July 9 delayed Whitaker’s execution date to Nov. 30 to allow him additional time to prepare his appeal. In his brief, Steers said Whitaker bases his appeal partly on the claim that the judge erred in allowing the jury to leave the courtroom and return to their homes for the evening during the early stages of the trial. But Steers said the judge was within his legal rights to do so because a decision of that nature was entirely the "discretion of the court.” “There appears to be a growing trend evidenced by decisions from other jurisdictions toward a relaxation of the common law rule which did not permit of separation and gave little heed to the comfort of the individual jurors,” Steers said in his answering brief.
