The gib tongue of two attendants at a D-X gas service station, corner of Elston and Hamlin got John Hillock of Palatine into a lot of trouble this week. Albert Mathey, 47G3 N. Winchester, 25, owner of the gas station and Henry Kriens, 61C Shakespeare were taken into custody by the County highway police following the "confession" of Hillock.

Following a hearing Wednesday afternoon at the Morton Grove police station, the case was continued one week. Hillock is alleged trying his first "job" of stealing gas from underground storage tank of a service station early Friday morning when two county officers appeared on the scene and nipped in the bud plans of Hillock to make a living out of an easy and safe racket that had been painted to him by two Chicago gas station attendants. County Officers McDonough and O'Donnell were patrolling the Northwest highway shortly after 3 a. m. when they noticed a car parked at the Bulk plant of the Gaare Oil opposite the race track.

Hillock was the driver of the car. He exnlained to the officers that he had thrown a blanket over the hood of the car and was running' the motor in order to thaw it out. The officers discovered two 55 ftallon steel tanks in the rear of the car and a hose extending from tho tanks to the underground storage tank from which the cap had been removed. Beneath the hood of the car, the officers discovered a centrifugal pump operated by the ian belt. Hillock was taken to the Palatine police station and later to the Morton Grove station.

There was no gas in the steel drums because the storage tank was empty. He explained to the officers that the two Chicago men had engineered the entire plan, even to fitting up the car with drums and pump. According to the "painted dream" Hillock was supposed to park his car over the cap of the storage tank. The driver of the car by lifting up a floor board was able to insert a hose into the tank. He could then remain in the car while the pump, operated by the motor, filled the two drums with gas.

Arriving at the Chicago station he expected to be paid $5 for the load. John told his mother that his car had been fitted up for the handling of furnace oil.
