  We reanalyze the D^{*+} pi^- mass spectrum from CLEO II by the VMW method in
order to examine the existence of a chiral axial-vector state, which is
predicted in a covariant level-classification scheme recently proposed, other
than normal orbitally-excited P-wave states in the D meson system. A result of
the present analysis seems to suggest that there exists an extra axial-vector
meson, in addition to the two normal ones, in a similar mass region.
