     Trustee R. TODD NEILSON is suing the wife of former L.A.
Kings Owner BRUCE MCNALL to recover an "alleged $1 million held
in a Swiss Bank account and a substantial inventory of jewelry."
Neilson contends that JANE CODY MCNALL has property believed to
be transferred from her husband Bruce, which she is "obligated to
turn over to the trustees."  Bruce McNall was stripped of his
ownership with the team after a federal investigation of bank
fraud (Lisa Dillman, L.A. TIMES, 3/28)....DERRICK LEWIS, who last
week told the WALL STREET JOURNAL that he witnessed REGGIE LEWIS,
his friend and former college teammate, doing cocaine (a story he
later recanted), spent three days in a Baltimore hotel paid for
by the JOURNAL, according to this morning's BALTIMORE SUN.  Lewis
told the paper he had been threatened and "feared retaliation"
from his allegations.  Roger May, spokesperson for the newspaper,
said "this is not a standard practice of this paper, but the
security of Mr. Lewis was in question" (Mike Preston, Baltimore
SUN, 3/28).
