In an electron-polarized photon coincidence experiment the Stokes' parameters P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub>, P<sub>3</sub> and P<sub>4</sub> have been determined for four Ne<sup>*</sup>(3p) to Ne<sup>*</sup>(3s) transitions at a fixed electron energy of 50 eV and in the electron angular scattering range 30 degrees -70 degrees . The results indicate a tendency towards positive values for P<sub>3</sub> at the lowest scattering angles studied and a strong tendency towards zero and even negative values for P<sub>4</sub>. In all cases a drop in the total polarization degree between 30 degrees and 50 degrees electron scattering angle is observed, indicating that there is a decrease of coherence at these scattering angles.
