Both Men Expected To Make Clean Breast Of All

Their Wrongdoings To District Attorney

And the Grand Jury Today In Further

Investigation Of Unlawful Traffic

In Motor Vehicles

B ULLETIN!

Mervin L. Dickerson and Thomas Barbutti were both indicted for perjurythis afternoon by the Grand Jury. Bail has been fixed at $5000, They were re-manded to the county. jail.

Mineola, May 13.-Carman Plant and Aubrey Pettit, the former of

Lynbrook and the latter of Baldwin, both of whom have pleaded guilty tocriminally receiving stolen goods in that they had to do with stolen auto-mobiles, are expected to go before the grand jury today as witnesses forthe state for the purpose of supporting the case that the District Atorneyexpects to build around others.

If this part of the investigation in the traffic in stolen motor vehiclesin Nassau County is reached today, it will have been on the initiative ofDistrict Attorney Weeks to whom Plant and Pettit will have told theirstory before they go before the grand jury. That these two guilty men toldtheir story before the grand jury can only be taken to mean that they in-tend to make a clean breast of everything and throw themselves on the mer-cy of the court as they did when they changed their plea of not guiltyto enter a plea of guilty.
