the fact that Mr.. whitman backs up
this new witnesses objection TO pub
Iicitv II is evident he means to hold
come of his evidence for use as a re-
serve force In case anything happens
IN any of the men whose names ana
probable stories are known.
II has been a fact in previous trials
where policemen were implicated that
witnesses found they had both the time
and the money to go abroad when
the trial came up.
The arrest of Schepps gave an iii
petus to others besides the District Al
torney yesterday. When the four prs
oners at he West Side court prison
learned that the dispatches from HOT
Springs were correct they sent out
hurry calls for their lawyers. Max II.
Steuer got IN early yesterday morning
to see "Bridgie" Weber, and after
long call hurried away with the word
that he had nothing new to say lie
referred all inquirers to the District
Attorney.
II was learned later that Weber's call
for Mr. Steuer had been largely mat
ter Of curiosity. Weber wanted to have
the news corroborated. So far as his
own stand in the case is concerned that
has not changed Weber is ready to
tell what he knows, certainly every
thing concerning the murder. although
last night the District Attorney thought
that Weber was betraying some diff
dence as to talking freely Of his rela-
tons with certain police inspector.
Mr.. Whitman believes, however, that
Weber will see the wisdom of laying
everything bare both as to murder and
graft. rather than take any of the bur
den Of either upon his own shoulders,
and he will have Weber as a witness
before the grand jury to-day.
Sullivan on tho Fence.
Jack Sullivans attitude underwent
a partial change yesterday, closely
following a visit from his counsel,
Hartford T. Marshall. Sullivan has
been ION his knees" TO the District
Attorney one day. and defiant the
next. Mr.. Whitman intimated last
night, but his defiance comes usually
with the contention that there's moth
ing on me-" In all probability Sullivan
will learn either to-day or inside Of
the next two days that there is some
dictment, because it is rumOred around
the District Attorneys Office that Sui
livan's name will be included in the
blanket indictment for seven men most
directly concerned in Rosenthars MUIR
der.
At best il is not believed that Sui
Ivan can do much more than furnish
corroborating details but that he knew
of the plans for the murder and was
| around there because Of his knowledge
, is information that has been in MI.
/ Whitman's hands for several days, and
the District Attorney believes that Sui
Ivan will quickly tell his story when
he finds himself included in the blan-
ket indictment.
Rose. Weber and Nalinsky will be
called upon to tell their stories TO the
grand jury to-day, for the second time.
Their last appearance was just pre-
ceding the Indictment OF Becker. and
their present repetition is known TO be
for the purpose of furnishing the neces-
sary evidence for further indictments.
DR.. Otto H. Schultze and Patroman
Brady. whose evidence is also neces-
sary to furnish proof Of the murder,
will also be called upon to repeat their
stories to-day
officials Of the West Side Savings
Bank in which Becker deposited $4,000.
will be called to verify both the deposit
and the Withdrawal, which was made
by Mrs. Becker on July 80. Richard
Barter, the notary who told how Becker
had engaged him to go 10 Harry Pol
Iok's house to acknowledge Roses sig
nature to the affidavit, will also be
called upon to testify to-day. and other
witnesses will include Sam" Paul, Max
Hockstim, Martin Engel and employees
Of the Lincoln Hotel who can testify
both as to the movements Of some of
those who will be indicted for murder
and on the general graft end Of the
grand jury investigation.
on the murder side of the isvestga-
ton, the grand jury will probably hand
up either to-day or tomorrow, a
blanket indictment charging seven men
with the crime. Besides the four gun
men most directly concerned, this in
dictment will probably include the
names of Becker, Jack" Sullivan and
William Shapiro. the chauffeur Of the
murder car
Shapiro the District Attorney be-
lieves, has not by any means told all
he knows Of the movements Of the muir
der party on the night when Rosenthal
was killed.
