Church asks death

sentence be commuted

A 200-name petition from
members of White Rock United
Church has been forwarded to
Justice Minister E. Davie Ful-
ton asking that the death sen-
tence imposed on a 19-year-old
Chilliwack youth be commuted
to life imprisonment.

Board of Evangelism and Soc-
ial Service of the United Church
of Canada asked Rev. A. R
Laing, minister of White Rock
United, to circulate the petition
asking for leniency.

The youth, Denis Chapman,
has been sentenced to hang for
the gun slaying of his brother
at their Chilliwack farm.

Students at Chilliwack High
School, of which Chapman is a
former pupil, also forwarded
a 2000-name petition to the
Justice Minister opposing the
death sentence.
