NEW WITNESSES CALLED IN PLANT TRIAL

Tbere were trmdomnt flaahea of an¬ ger In his repHen syid hf BaW ihat he ihoiiirht he hnd b^-on Klven a "roinh deal" In tbat he was 8*nt«nred to seven years in SI ok .Sing Prison (ho elaima that Plant told him to plead Kullty to ref'oiving atolen good.s and that he would only get a light sen¬ tence), but be kept hia eompoaure un¬ til he wan questioned aa to hla family, his wife nnd his aon. fhen he cried Imt only for a moment and an Instant later he waa the aame aggresalve wit- nosB flghting ba'.'k with the same carnestneffH thnt marked him all throiiKh the Hrat trial;
^Ife Visits WItneas O Xelll Mrw. O'Neill has Ix-en loyal tVr her hu.sband through ull his fallings and lixlay she came to aee him after he k-rt the witness .stand. She wns not in court during his testimony. Bhe has .veen hut little of hlin since ho was sent to Sing Sing Pri.son for the visit¬ ing daya are few and she works to .suriport her.self and her aon. She. also, i;i a witness In the Plant case and will proliably take? the stand tiKhi,!". '
For the mo.st T>art O'NelU's cToss ex¬ amination wns a repetition of his an¬ swers on direct examination.
The lifternoon .session was onlivenwl v.ith tills ^Iv'tween Mr. l.evy and ti'.Neill whlf'h even involved the judge uhen -Mr. Levy said that he would ask to withdraw a juror and atop the trial unli's.s O'N'elll was controlled In his unswerp or :inle.ss Mr. Levy had op- liortunily to open up a new line of iiuestioning.
Mr. Levy had asked O'.Neill nlmut the money he claimed tn have paid Plant for "protection" or for the privi¬ lege of selling stolen cars without mo¬ lestation from "the authorities, and O'.Velll had .said that he figured Plant
had ennugh when he waa given a Buiek ew. ,
Aaked If Plant had denuinded any more money of him O'Neill replied that "He didn't allele me up for It."
Pressed as to the payments of money, he elaimed to have pnid, O'Neill (lobbied hack, "I haid a lot of money. I paid you money to defend me."
It was here ttmt Attorney Levy In- .slsted that the answers of the witnes.s he respon.sive to the questions a.sked. He said he would move to- withdraw a juror unle.s-s ho was allowed lo have the incident explained. s, :;
He then moved that all of Ihe an- .swers bo stricken out, and Ju.stice Cropsey replied rather tartly: "You'd better make your motion In proper legal form If you want any good out of it, sir."
When Mr. Levy oontinueil to .say that "eortain atatements wore maile that cannot be orndicated from the minds of the jurors," Justice Crop.sey cut In witb: "Oh, my goodnei*, Coup.sellor. you shouldn't make swh statements. Go on. go on."
The court nlso seemed to take Mr. Levy's promi.se to move for the'with¬ drawal of a juror lightly, and .said that the jurors were honest, intelligent men. He directed them to disregar*! the statement of thc witne.s.s that were not in respon.se to the question a.sked.
CJiiestioned as to tho ears he had elaimf<l he .sold to .Samuel Hildrelh. of Hompstead, O'Neill ,snid that Hildreth had gotten his money back on one car, "and he pleadeil with us to sell him another." O'.Velll was explaining then his tran.sactlons in .stolen ears. He had previously testifled thnt Hildreth had beaten him while he wns in Plant's cu.stody.
O'Neill .swore tha^ "Tom Ferguson took $250 off u.s to squash the ease be¬ fore Ju.stice, Raisig. and if the ease went to the jury (meaning the grand jury) we were to uret our money back."
"I don't believe Raisig ever saw .a cent nf that money," continuod the

Perguxen. tho witneira said, was a "rtmner" for a lawyer, and waa sup- Ijoaed tb "flx" the rase ao that O'Neill would get,off lightly.
O'NeiU awore that both he and Hoff¬ man paid Ferguaon tS&O each at two different times, and that when they were finally Indicted they a.sked hiiB aliout the money, and he said: "That will go to the lawyer oa a retainer," ac¬ cording to the testimony.
WitneKS ^Ssya Ue Went 'Vroke"
The witne.sa also naid that he went "broke" paying money to people to "flx" things for him, and that he flnally aaerifleed hla car to meet tho demands for more money.
Ho denied he jumped hla hnll bond, and said he waa home all the time he was being .sought. PInfilly. when- he was arre.sted in Ijong I.sland City and taken to tWo Bronx, charged with h.av- ing a stolen car. Plant carne for him. He wa.H relea.«»ed, and Plant brought him back to Nxssau County.
It waa on the way down tnttn tho Bronx that O'Neill aweiirs Plant pro¬ posed thnt the prisoner plead guilty, with the understanding that Plant would get him a light .sentence, and that O'Neill would go to pri,son for a short time for the soke of his "friends." O'Neill said he opreel. He pleaded gnllty, but Instead of a light sentence he got .seven year.s, ond ho considered that Plant had double-crossed him and had "railroaded" him to pri.son to get rid of him.
Rven thca, SRys O'Neill, and in spite of the fact that he went to Sing Sing Pri.son with but 40 cent.s in hLs pockets, he ".sat tight" for flvo weeka in tho pri.son and never complained. He .said that Plant had given him |5 as he wa.s taken in throngh the prison gate, be¬ cause he had complained thnt he wa.i getting a "rough deal.'
When he wjui eonrlnoed that he had beea deserted. cyNeiU toM hi.s .story ta Aaaliitaat District Attorney Rilwsnli^ who eame to aee him.
Heffman Called lo Slaml
WiUiam Horrman. called "R.nI." he- cau.se of his flan^ng hair, was called after O'Neill flnished. Ho corroborated O'Neill ttm to the Stuts car deal, the fake theft of It. and the delivery of It lo Plant at the latter's sugge.stion..
According to Hoffman's le.stlmony. Plant .saM the fake theft could be done and Hoffman could collect the insur¬ ance, as well as take his Chevrolet cnr in exchange for the Stuta Hoffman had. and which would be painted another color and the motor numbers changed.
Hoffman swore that he told Plant that it would then be a stolen car. and Plant Is alleged to have .said: "I am the county detective. I ean fake e;iro of that." The car wns "stolen" ami de¬ livered to Plant, the witness .seid, but first It waa transferred to the name of Mrs. Salvatore Salerno, wife of HolT- nian'.s partner, a half owner in tho car. This waa done to make "it look good," said Hoffman.
When he .said thnt Pl.ant and be ar¬ ranged to have the car "stolen," and how it waa to be done. Distriet Attorney Weeks exclaimed: "You mean to .say you talked it over together?"
"Yes. Sir." replied Hoffman. Hoffman also .said thnt he look out
license for the car In Hmoklyn in Plant's name before Van McCumber. a notary public, and th.tt )ie signed Plant's name, and swore tn Ihe affidavit as Plant, so thnt Plant eould hnve the car for use immediately it was "stolen."

Yesterday, as Monday, Justice Crop¬ .sey ordered the jurors locked up for tile night. They are not permittetl to eommiinieate with anyone. Plant was .sent to the jail during the luncheon ll eess and again at night he was re¬ turned to tho coimty bast lie to awail the opening of court this morning.
Karly in the afternoon session yes- erday. Attorney T^evy starte.d his cross examination of O'Neill and he gave the witness a thorough grilling before he ended. O'Neill stood up under the ques¬ tioning well. His story was apparently iinKhaken at the finish although Mr. Levy did show some disere|>aneieK be¬ tween the former testimony and that O'Neill Is giving now. This was for the most part in fixing the time when cer¬ tain events took plare.
O.Neill, unlearned and apparently with but little schooling from the time he has been working, made ,a good showing In the battle of wits with tlu; defending counsel.
