Baggy Trousers Are
Seat of His Trouble
LOS ANGELES, ,TP)—The seat
of Sam Joenig’s pants was to
come in for further scrutiny to
day in his trial cm burglary and
grand theft charges.
The authorities allege that Sam
made his pants too long — and
baggy—for the sole purpose of
pilfering valuable fur pieces from
downtown shops.
Sam’s britches were offered as
exhibit “A”, along with testimony
by a police specialist who told th©
jury that the seat of the trousers,
enlarged by a huge patch, showed
evidence of having come in con
tact ^rith fur, including Breath
of-Spring mink.
Sam, 47, denies everything.
