NEW YORK, Aug. 2O-The grand
jury this afternoon returned to Judge
Mulqueen, in general session, blanket
indictment against seven men named
as generally responsible for the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal.
Those named in the indictment are
Shapiro, who was driving the gray
murder automobile;" Louis Rosenberg,

of the latter are still at large; Frank

Frank Cirocci, known as "Dago Frank"
and Jacob Reich, known as Jack Sui

Schepps, the first witness called, is
reported to have given complete evil
dence to the plot by which Rosenthal
was killed. Schepps was brought down
to the criminal courts building from
the West Side police court prison after
he, Jack Rose and "Bridgey" Weber
had made additional statements to Dis
trict Attorney Whitman.
The efforts of counsel at paving the
way to the quashing of the indictment
against Lieutenant Charles A. Becker
were thwarted for the second time
when Judge Mulqueen in general SEES
sions today denied the motion of Beck
e''s attorneys that he reconsider his
previous denial of their motion to in
spect the minutes of the grand jury.
