Justice Cropsey Censures j
County Jury System and
the Sheriff.
The various officeholders of Nassau
county who began to lose weight and
sleep last week when Carman Plant,
formerly county detective, pleaded
guilty to an Indictment charging him
with bribery and neglect of duty after
having been tried on the indictment
twice, passed Into the acute stage of
agitation yesterday when Plant went
before District Attorney Charles R,
Weeks and Informed him fully con
cerning certain matters upon which
Mr. Weeks has desired accurate data
for more than a year.
As a result of what Plant set forth
It is expected that indictments will be
found to-day, and that certain county
officeholders who have imagined that
the wind of investigation had blown
over them permanently will learn In
due time that they should have thought
of Plant. It used to be the custom in
the county, when gambling and other
illegalities were functioning undis
turbed, for those on the inside to take
Plant part way into their confidence,
but never all the way In. The reasons
for this were that Plant as merely i
county detective had not reached full
blown county dignity, and that he is
naturally a sociable person, with the
failing of talking too much and to too
many.
Plant Resents Desertion.
