ICE CREAM MAY CLEAR SIMPSON?

Nicole Brown Simpson, her two children and a young man in a suit stopped in for ice cream the night Simpson and Ronald Goldman were killed, the manager of a Ben & Jerry's said Sunday.

Bill Chang said he did not believe the man was Goldman, whom he has seen in photographs.

Newsweek magazine reports in its Aug.15 issue that a cup of ice cream was found near the bodies of Simpson and Goldman. Defense sources told the magazine that O.J. Simpson's lawyers may use the ice cream to dispute prosecutors' contentions on timing of the killings.

Prosecutors have said Nicole Simpson and Goldman were killed between 10:15 p.m. and 11 p.m. on June 12. But police found the cup of ice cream - much of it still frozen - near the bodies sometime after 12:10 a.m. on June 13, the sources told the magazine.
