he discharged her. alleging that she had
broken the sewing machine and torn up
his uniform trousers which he had left
hanging in a closet. He arrested her him
SELF put her in the police patrol wagon,

dicted.
He showed the trousers to the jury.
They had been cut as we'll as torn.

tify. She said the policeman had sent
another woman to the house to be house

them down for the boy and she didn't tear
them.
The jury could not agree. -Four OF us
