FAINTS IN COURT
Overcome by Fear That Efforts
to Keep Husband From
Prison Might Fail Y

OAKLAND. April 11.-Overcome by
the fear that her efforts to secure pro-
baton for her husband, J. z. Neal.
might fail and that he might be sent
to the penitentiary in spite Of the ef-
forts she had made to obtain mercy for
him, Meals wife fell fainting to the
floor in Judge Browns courtroom to-
day
Mrs. Neal was carried to Judge
Browns chambers and revived. but she
was in hysterical condition when she
left the courtroom in the care of friends
Neal pleaded guilty several days ago
to having embezzled $4,000 from the
Sunset lumber company. which en-
ployed him as cashier. He asked for
probation, and in assistance of his plea
for mercy his wife took the witness
stand and told how he had confessed
his crime to her, admitted il to his
employers, and made clean breast of
his defalcations, although he did not
have to do so.
The case was to have been disposed
of today but A. P. Redding, a repre-
sentative of the surety company that
was on Meals bond, said in court that
he had heard that Neal had been in
volved in similar defa1cation before
when he was employed by the Pacific
window glass company. Neal explained
this, but Judge Brown continued the
case until Wednesday to give Chief
Deputy District Attorney Carey a
chance to look into the story.
