When asked by the court who had advised him to make such a plea, and if he knew what it meant, the defendant explained: "A Hempstead cop told me that I would get off by saying these words.

The "village, is almost! convinced that 16-year-old Garrett Connelly Is the person who set the nine strange fires here. Prior to Connelly's arrest, Sunday, the community had been nervous. Many people passed up week-end trips to stay here and watch the family garage after seven of them had been mysteriously set ablaze. Others erected special lights at the garages and sat by the window, gun in hand, to watch for intruders. But all that was over last night.

Yesterday, the youth was arraigned here before Acting Police Justice Flanagan and held without bail for the Grand Jury on an arson charge. He seemed quite composed and was accompanied by Inspector Harold R. King. Several times he adjusted his tie to pose for cameramen. A woman reporter caused laughter when she jumped as the noon fire whistle blew.

"Fire," she shouted, and Connelly cringed. Inspector King saved the day when he pointed out it was the luncheon call. None of Connelly's family was In court, and he was not represented by counsel although It was said Fran cis J. Parks, former police justice here and secretary to Supreme Court Justice Hooley, would defend him. After he had pleaded not guilty, he was returned to Mineola jail.

A by-product of the fires may be the speeding up of the plan to have the county system absorb the local five-man police force. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet Dec. 1 and approve a resolution calling for a referendum. The efficiency of the county detective force in getting a confession from Connelly is believed to have prompted-the trustees. The force now consists of Chief Charles Wittenburg, Sergt.

George Schussler and Patrolmen James Logue, Harry Wellersdlcck and Leo Neubert. All would go Into the county system as patrolmen, prob ably at 2,400 per year, which is more than any of them earn now. Prison Fire Blamed On Defective Wire Trenton, N. Nov. 24.

EMPLOYER CLEARED IN 'KICKBACK' CASE Phillips Steinberg, 32, a paint ing contractor, of 1025 Boynton the Bronx, was acquitted today in Special Session, Jnmaica, on a charge of violating Section 962 of the Penal Lawhich prohibits an employer from taking a "kick back," a refund of an empolye's wage. It was the first such case to be criminally prosecuted in Queens under tho new law. Steinberg was charged by Thomas Aroslno, of 33-48 Hancock Long Island City, a painter employed in July Inst, with having demanded $15 refund of his wages under penalty of being laid off. Last week when tho trial began Aroslno testified that he went to the police and was advised to pay the kick-back to Steinberg in $5 marked bills.

A detective, who arrested Steinberg, had testified that he found the marked money in the contractor's possession. Today before Justices Kozlcke, Perlman and Brady, Steinberg swore that he had demanded no refund from Arosino and, explaining the marked money in his pos session, declared he had given Aroslno 15 $1 bills in requested change. The justices decided there was reasonable doubt of guilt and freed Steinberg. Justice Perlman suggested that in future cases tho defendant in the interest of Justice should also prefer a charge against the com plainant wnere a frame-up or a racket may be suspected. 1 BAY MEADOWS RESULTS (Wcslhfr, Clrarf Track, Fast) Flrst Itara tflofl: claiming: maiden inree-ycar-olia ana up; six furlongs.
