written today when Assistant United

ceived the pair which Eugene Nc
Neil. colored, 50 l. street. refused so

Fred Strohman. also colored. from
whom they are said to have been
stolen.
When the case was first presented,
Mcneil went into court wearing tho
trousers In question. All efforts to
have him change to borrowed
pair were unavailing. so Judge Mat
tingly ordered the case continued
until the next day and sent word to
the Jail authorities to send back
Mcneil and the trousers separately
However. Mcneil and the trousers
returned the next day very much
together and that time the court
imposed sentence of 1870 days.
Mcneil finally surrendered the
trousers peacefully, Stern said.
