The ministers' action follows pleas by 10 Toronto Jawyers and hundreds of citizens that he use "the mercy of the Crown' to intervene in the case. The lawyers contended Ro- berts did not get a fair trial, was not convicted according to law; that the proceedings be- fore Magistrate S. Tupper Bige- low contravened the Cagadian Bill of Rights; and that both the magistrate and Appeal Court failed to consider availa- ble evidence concerning the fit- ness of sentence. Mr. Fleming said today he made his decision only after thorough study of the case and after consultation with both On- tario Attorney. - General Kelso Roberts and Toronto lawyer Ar- thur Maloney. 'CROWN MERCY' .He took the action under sec- tion 596 (B) of the Criminal Code, It says that on anyone's application for Crown mercy, the minister can 'refer' the matter at any time to the court of appeal for hearing and de- termination by that court as if i were an appeal by the con- victed person." The last time this power was used was in the Wilbur Coffin case in January, 1956. A. spe- cial reference by then Justice Minister Garson to the Supreme Court of Canada was rejected and Coffin was hanged for the slaying of an American hunter in the Gaspe region of Quebec.
