accused of having purchased automo-
blles which he knew were stolen.
Matthew O'Neill. at present doing q
seven-and- a-half-year term in Sing
Sing for receiving stolen goods, testi
fed that Plant had bought automobiles
from him which the detective knew
were stolen. Also, he said Plant gave
him an order to get him an auto, which
the detective knew would have to be
stolen, and that Plant tcld O'Neill and
his partner, William Hoffman, who is
now awaiting sentence following a plea
of guilty, to be sure and change the
numbers on the car before it was de-
l!vered, so it would not be recognized.
O'Neill testified that he had stolen
from twelve to twenty cars in Nassa !
County, and always had told persons
who bought them that the cars were
stolen. He said he met Plant when tn.
detective got him out of some trouble
in Freeport He said that Sheriff Har-
vey had arranged for him to see a man
named Petit. and that he paid Petit
$35 to be paid to Plant. Later, O'Neill
says, he paid Plant $25 week for sew
eral months to be allowed TO operate in
the county.
The indictment of Plant grew out of
the gamblers cases last summer. Dis
trict Attorney Charles r. Weeks TO-DAY
said that the case is really to be tried
on a theory of a conspiracy entered
into between O'Neill, Hoffman and
Plant, so that business could be done
in stolen cars through money paid to
the detective.

Dartmouth student, testified Drewes
had called upon him in Atlantic City
on Saturday, October 16 Drewes. he
said, wanted to borrow $500 from him
to buy an automobile. Mr.. Schloss
and did SO. Drewes arrived in Atlantic
City at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon, Mr..
Schloss added, and left for Philadel-

often came to her home and sometimes

tain you have in mind
Royal II. Weller, former Assistant
District Attorney under Whitman and
now counsel to a number o insurance
companies, appeared at Mr.. Whitman's
office with clients who had been sub
p9naed in the alleged police graft in
the recovery of stolen automobiles.
1T is known, although Mr.. Whitman
refused to discuss the fact, that Police
Commissioner Enrigh: has held up 'thx,
retirement of police captain whose
application was on his desk until he
has been assured by Mr.. Whitman that
the grand jury investigation has not
implicated the captain. This was taken
as an indication that there will be no
further retirements of police COM
manding officers without the knowledy7
of Mr.. Whitman.
This attitude on the part of Mr.. En-
right unquestionably is due to the fact
that the Commissioner had granted the
retirement application of Captain Du
Bols, but Immediately rescinded his ap-
proval when he learned that Mr.. Whit
man was investigating certain acts Of
the captain. Du Bois was indicted the
next day for "illegally accepting a
gratuity."
Arthur M. King, investigating the
charges turned over to Mr.. Whitman
by Meier Steinbrink, special counsel "a

ton of city contracts, said last nigh,
that he had made some progress, but
that most of his witnesses had disap-

and that, unless they appeared to-day

crime, which called for extradition
from other states, would be issued.
