New high-resolution, high signal-to-noise-ratio spectra have been gathered for subgiant CH stars HD 4395 and HD 216219. A detailed model-atmosphere abundance analysis has been carried out, with emphasis on the determination of abundances for elements heavier than iron. The heavy-element abundance patterns in the two stars are quite similar, and appear to have been produced by neutron exposures (tau = 0.2) which are less than those in the typical classical barium star. The abundance patterns indicate that the source of neutrons could have been either the C-13(alpha, n)O-16 reaction or the Ne-22(alpha, n)Mg-25 reaction. The evolutionary states of these stars are rediscussed in light of these new results.
