0'Nei| Perjury Finding
Reaffirmed in New Trial
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 25.-A
Federal court jury convicted James
ONeil for the second time today of
perjury in the recent Harry Bridges
deportation hearing
Federal Judge Martin I. Welsh
sentenced O'Neil to three years in
prison and fined him $7OO. He had
received three years and a 500
fine on his first conviction.
The perjury charge was made
against the former c. I. o. publicity
man after the second Bridges de-
portation hearing in which O'Neil
denied he had told Federal Bureau
OF Investigation agents that he had
seen Bridges paste dues stamps in
Communist party book.
O'Neils attorneys said they would
argue for another new trial before
Judge Welsh Tuesday at Sacrament
to. A new trial was granted pre-
viously by Judge Welsh after ONeil
was tried on the perjury charge,
found guilty and sentenced. Judge
Welsh allowed the motion for the
second trial on his own error in
permitting jurors to comment on
how they stood numerically before
they reached a final agreement.
