FEBRUARY 8, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 17 Caucus says Carfer should pardon them Wilmington 10 draw more attention LOS ANGELES (AP)—There's no reason why President Carter should not commute the sentence of the remaining jailed members of the Wilmington 10, now that Patricia Hearst has been granted early prison release, asserts the Southern Christian Leadership Conference-West. "For the president to continue to run around the world and continue to talk about human rights is such a glaring contradiction of what's going on right here in the United States," Rev. C. Garnett Henning, president of SCLC-West, told a press conference HAYWOOD iteak ana iKeg Finest dinners in Western North Carolina. All beverages on tap and fine wines seven days a week. Meals from $1.80 up. Steak & Keg in Waynesville, Russ Avenue and Love Lane above Long John Silvers. "Keg Room" Lounge to open soon. Monday. The Wilmington 10—nine black men and one white woman—were convicted of arson and conspiracy in connection with the burning of a grocery store during a week of racial violence in Wilmington, N.C, in 1971. "Recent revelations clearly establish the miHWffllffl of the Wilmington 10, yet the North Carolina courts. who have already released nine of the 10, refuse to recognize this miscarriage of justice in the case of the Rev. Ben Chavis," Henning said in a letter to Carter. After the Wilmington 10 were jailed, supporters organized to work for their release, calling the case against them a "frame-up." Hundreds of thousands of signatures were collected, mass marches were staged and letters were written to the U.S. Justice Department. The campaign has been intensified since last Thursday's release of Patty Hearst, whose seven-year prison sentence for conviction for bank robberv was commuted January 29 by President Carter. Miss Hearst had served less than two yean of her sentence and would have been eligible for parole within six months. Over the years, the case against "the 10"-who had been sentenced to a total of 282 years-began to weaken as seven! prosecution witnesses recanted their original testimony. Last January, North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt reduced the sentences of the Wilmington 10, allowing all but Chavis to get out of prison on parole. Chavis, who remains in custody at the Orange County, N.C. prison unit, will not be eligible for parole until January 1. 1980. In November 1978, the Justice Department filed a friend-of-th« court brief in federal court in Raleigh, N.C, saying there was evidence the Wilmington 10 did not get a fair trial and asking U.S. District Judge Franklin Dupree Jr. to overturn the 1972 convictions. However, no further action has been taken, and Hunt lias said lie is finished uilh the case. It is this lack of further action, Henning said, that inspired the SCLC-West to join a nationwide effort to get Chavis' sentence commuted.
