Whitener a habeas corpus writ Tuesday and said he can have his freedom under $25,(XK) hail while his appeal from a rape conviction is pending. The wealthy Newberry lumber man was convicted here Dec. 24 on a charge of raping an 11-year- old girl last September. He was sentenced to 14 years and has been in the Richland County jail ever since. Whitener was freed from jail when his wife, Mrs. Carrie W. Whitener. and son Guy Whitener Jr., filed the hail sum a short time alter the ruling. Two members of the court dis sented from the hail order, how ever. Justiia* Taylor H. Stakes and G. Dewey Oxner said it was their opinion the court lacked the au thority to grant hail in tho eir- cu mst nnep. 'Hie eon rt disagreement was over a 1 944 legislative act which says no bail shall he granted to any one sentenced to death, lite imprisonment or to serve more than 10 years. A previous provision permitting bail while any case was under ap peal was omitted from the 19;72 state law code. The court majority said the omission was "without authority” and that it did not believe it was the legislature’s intent to repeal the previous law* although the code has been adopted officially. “But even so.” the court ma jority said, “the legislature has no power to take away powers spe cifically granted to this court by the constitution. One of these pow ers is the historic writ of habeas corpus . . . “This court, the judicial body of last resort in our state system of jurisprudence, has the inherent right to set bond in any case. Every defendent sentenced to 10 years or less has the right to bail pending appeal. This court can grant hail, in its discretion where * the sentence exceeds 10 years.” Signing the majority order were Chief Justice D. Gordon Baker. As sociate Justice Claude A. Taylor and Circuit Judge Joseph R. Moss, who was acting justice when the bail was asked Jan. 11. Stukes and Oxner held the “pro hibition’’ against hail in cases in volving sentences of more than 10 years is “clear and unambiguous” and “applies to this court and all other courts.” Furthermore, they said, the “as sertion” that the legislature did not intend to repeal the previous law “is open to serious question.” Also, they added, “the fact that this court is a court ot last resort adds nothing to its power with, I i efen nee to bail." The majority order said the grounds on whi< h Whitener sought bail were "not frivolous or with out substance.” He is “a man of considerable wealth and property’’ and “also has family ties and as sociations within the state.” the ordei said. Therefore, “the possibility of his i attempting to escape appears re mote. Because of the length of the r* cord, several months nu.y elapse before the appelant’s appeal can he considered and decided by this court.’' The Hale, repres. nted hy tlie at torney general's o'fice and Fifth Circuit Solicitor T. Ron Taylor contended at tlie time hail was asked that tlie court lacked th< power to grant hail because of the 1944 act.
