HL Collins in city j court that he had never served In ;, either army. . : His confession jrae complete, For j four months he has been telling his var Kperltiees. Confronted Mon ' day nlarht with a committee from the Henry K. Hurtntr post of the Ameri ( can legion, he admitted that he had t not served In the American army, but " stuck to the French army story. But t before Judge Collins he told every- thing, f ! As a result he was convicted on ( two charges of obtaining money un I tier false pretences. One charge was j based on his obtaining money from I the Red Cross: on this he pleaded I iruUty. The other concerned his a! ! leged obtaining money from Jack Stevens, commander of the local post of the legion: on this the plea was not guilty. t the request of the I prosecution. Judge Collins' verdict I waa prayer for judgment until No V v ember 10. 1 The 10-day period was requested by a the Amertcan legion to enaoie tne man in ilnri work. Members of the legion went with him afterward to the V, S. employment bureau at the V chamber ot commerce and listed his name as aa applicant" I TJie man came to Greensboro in June from Roanoke.

"We want to help any deserving ex-service man f who needs help." an official of tha post said yesterday, "but there are t too many men going around the j country parading under the guise of 1 ei-servlce men and working on peo 1 ple'a sympathies. That is whst we ! want to atop and that is why we took j" action." I , McKensle stuck to one angle of his ' story: that bo- waa In the stats of .
