O'Neill and "Hoffman at the Plnnt trials had sworn thot Plant and Barbijti dined at Klllwn'fl with Hoffman on the day and at tho time In question.
Air Of Proflerulion •'•*^
Diatrict Attorney W't-ekn wild that he would show that Dickerson h;id n«| boon In Freeport on the dny named, that he was In New |York at the time ond that fhe state was prepared to show that by competent witnes.ses. Dickerson had Jurjerert himself at the Plant trial and has since confettne<l ho lied. It was on this confession that Barbutl was indlcte*!.
District Attorney Weeks also sold that the reason this atempt was mado to prove an alibi for Plant wos to show that he c»uld not have been ut Ellison's when the scheme waa hatched to Iran sact a deal in a Htutz car.
WlllUim Hoffman, known as "Hed". who has confessed his part in the .stolen cars deals In this county, callod as a witne.-w yesterday, sworo that he had lunch with Barbuti and Plant it Ellison's af tho time thnt Plant and Barbutl sworo thoy had dined at tlio Klks Club in Freoport, with Dickerson. Hoffman's Testimony Hoffman al.io swore that while al Ellison's it was arranged at Plant's suggestion tliat a .Stutz car, owned jointly by Salvatore Salerno aod Hoff- 'inarK' and. 'wHieh Plant wnntefl, hr iransforred to IMant through "fake" theft in which the owners were to col leet tho Insurance. Hoffman swears this was done, that Barbuti heard the plan discussed and at his sugges¬ tion, sny.s Hoffman, it was agreed that Hoffman taking Plant's Chevolet cor for the Sutta and getting the Insurance also, should turn the Chevolet over to Barbutl for the lotter's old Buick cur. The Stutz, saya Hoffman, was taken to New York City by Salerno, loft In frontjof Riesenwebor's restuar- ant, stolen by O'Neill and nndlly de¬ livered to Plant aa agreed, the other two cars passing in the three cornered deul.
It was hore that Hoffmon Introduced new testimony when ho .said that Bar¬ buti's oar was a stolon car, swore thut Barbuti admitted It and quoted liarbuti as .saying he got it in New Jersey, had had it for eighteen months and that it was probably all right by this time. This last was taken to mean thaf the search for it had probably ended.
Hoffman .say.s he saw that the num¬ bers on Barbuti's car had heen changed and was sure fhat it was a stolen car because of that.
Under cross-examination Hoffman did not change his testimony a great deal; but at times he tesfifled contrary to his original story. When this was done and counsel for the defense sought to show that he waa telling a different tale he always admitted thut the rec¬ ords of the earlier trials were correct hut that 'he had It eighteen months and \ ""'1 changed his testimony to meet that ,it was probably all right now. j situation.
This Is the new evidence that Hoff- "^ou consider yourself a pretty slick man brought tmt In his direct testimony I «^'»'cle?" asked Attorney Scudder, but and wblch O'Neil now corroboratss with I the question was excluded before It the alleged statement by Barbutl. could be answered.

"You consider yourself the master mind in this?" asked Mr. Scudder, buf Justice Cropsey excluded' that question al.so, rather sharply. |

Everyone in Hemp.slead who ims lieen hoard to .speak is dollghte<l with Iho proposition
Tbo fwmer coursfi is out of fhe ques¬ tion, becatise in few ca.ses have .sur¬ viving relatives shown a disposition to have tho work done, either through linancidl inability or indifference. Tho village could not do it legally, because thero is no warrant in law for .spend¬ ing public money for such purpose.
The only way the village could spend money on the cemeteries was by con¬ demning them as nui.sances and then .ibating the nui.sances. This is th course to be pursued.
