called police.
The object of police attention,

Strange termed a former"
friend. ....
Miss Barrymore told newsmen
Mr.. McNeill showed up at her
party at 2::30 am. and would not
leave when she wanted to go to
bed.
Finally, she said, she called
police, who took Mr.. Mcneil to
the police station. Then the &C
tress changed her mind and
would not sign a complaint.
II was probably an IDIOT for
not pressing charges" she said

He didn't regain his sight, but
