Revelations Expected to
Throw New Light on Thiev-
cry and Gambling.

The fear that gripped politicians, ex-
gamblers and certain county officials
OF Nassau a few months ago when the
gambling blowup occurred was sensed
again yesterday when it became known
that Carman Plant, the former county
detective who pleaded guilty Friday
to receiving stolen property. will go
before the Nassau county Grand Jury
Tuesday and tell all he knows about
county affairs, thieves. gamblers and
other matters that have divided his
attention during the last five years.
Abandoned by those he had con-
sidered friends, Plant has been sitting
In his cell in the Nassau County Jail
at Mineola brooding over the future
outlook. He realizes that he is facing
a term il States prison, and has
observed that he has been singularly
left alone by those who might be able
to extend a helping hand. This is said
to have caused him to decide to tell

spicuous I'm Nassau county, Plant was
among the foremost since he was ap-
pointed county detective by District At

viii have to tell his story, and II is con-
sidered likely that his revelations will
rival those Of the gambling blowup which
caused sudden exodus of certain Of
ficials and politicians from the county.
Forecasts OF what Plant will have to
say dwell almost entirely on the opera
tions of automobile thieves, with whom,
IL is alleged he was in league. 1t has
been hinted that persons great deal
higher in county affairs than Plant We're
mixed up in the operations, and that his
decision to tell all he knows means that
he will not be alone in the trip up State.

JUST FOLKS
THE TOWN OF USED TO BE.
BY Edgar A. Guest

Used to think I'd like to so
To the town l used to know
As a little barefoot lad.
Tanned Of check an always glad.
But it's been sOslong since
Told the good old friends goodbye
An set out for wealth an fame,
That it cannot be the same.
An maybe I'd better not
Spoil the picture that I've got.
Bills been back. an ne tells me
Towns not what il used TO be;
That old Barker's grocery store
Isn't open any more.
An most folks we knew are gone.
Moved away or Travelled on
TO q brighter realm than this.
An the girls we used to kiss
An go courtin' with, somehow
Don't seem half so pretty now.
FoE7cs have told me that the farm
Where j lived, has lost it's charm
An they've paved the dusty street
Which was velvet to our feet,
An it's now a thorougfare
With the hum of motors there;
Wouldn't want to lose the joy
That I've treasured from a boy
Guess I'd better keep always
Memories Of those happier days.
I'm afraid Of gOin' back
Memory stin keeps the track
To those favorite haunts of mine
Like painted canvas fine,
An the old spots live with me
Just the way they used to be;
An TO see them now would seem
Much like shattering a dream
So the town shall live with me
Just the way il used 10 be.
