against another of their sex in district

complained.
Baby's underwear and feminine frocks
and stockings were involved in the trial,
which centered on a question OF owner

Automobiles brought the women TO the
court house. Energetic camera men were
there and the jurors exposed themselves
to the lenses, but when camera man
asked il the "oldest juror would mind
