 William Shapiro, driver of the gray automobile in which the gangsters went to the Hotel Metropole and killed Rosenthal.

 Frank Muller, known as "Whitey Lewis"
 Harry Horowtz, known as "Gyp the Blood'
 Louis Rosenzweig, known as Lefty Louie,' gangman, alleged to have been in the automobile. l The four last named are the men | supposed to have done the actual l shooting. Rosenzweig and Horowitz are still at large, but although they ! have been reported at various places throughout the country, it has been strongly intimated that they are still in the city.
 After handing down the blanket in- l lictment the grand jury adjourned until Thursday, when it is expected that indictments will be returned against several police officers on charges of oppression and. extortion growing out of accusation made by Big Jack" Zelig, who appeared before

 Today's indictments followed the giving of testimony to the grand jury oy Zelig that Jack Rose, sought out zelig and told the east side gang lead- er that Becker wanted Rosenthal kill- d and then Zelig gathered four of his followers and told them. You had better get Rosenthal for you know howseasy 1t will be for Becker to send you up the river
 | Sam Schepps told the grand jury that he was present when the s1,OOO which he understood was borrowed from Becker by Bridgey Webber. the gambler, was paid to the men who shot Rosenthal to death. Schepps vas before the grand jury for half au hour and corrnborated Jack Rose's startling confession in detail.

several Little Rock alienists, after Attorney w. B. Sorrells, his counsel, had informed Governor Donaghey that his client was insane.
 Under he(law Sheriff Brewster must summon jury of twelve men to make the examination. In the event this jury holds that Alexander is sane and notwithstanding the decision of the alienists, he must be hanged for his crime, unless Governor Donaghey again interferes and commutes his sentence to life imprisonemnt or or- ders him confined to the state asylum for the insane
 Sheriff Brewster received official notice of the decision of the alienists yesterday and also received a letter from Governor Donaghey in which the chief executive suggested that the jury be taken to Little Rock instead of having Alexander brought to Pine Bluff for an examination. Little Rock dispatches say that the feeling here against Alexander is so strong that it would not be advisable or safe to bring him back to Pine Bluff again If there is any public feeling against Alexander here it has not been ex- hibited in recent months.
 Nevertheless Sheriff Brewster will act according to the Governors sug- gestion and will take the jury to Little Rock Thursday This jury will exam inc Alexander at the state peniten- tiary.

 Leo M. Andrews, president of the Association, announced that he had recelved letters from President Bush, cf the Iron Mouri ain, and President Brittcn, of the Gotten Belt, i'll which they declare that their roads did not oppose the building of the Free Bridge nor would they stand i'll inc way of any enterprise that would help Pice Bluff and Jefferson county grow and lsing prosperity to the peo- 'ple of .Eis city and county. On the other hand they signified the.r will ingness 0 aid ill any project that would be for the upbnildhcg g of this city and section. They each declared in their letters that they had been led to believe that a majority of the people of this county were opposed to the Free Bridge, and that instead of it's being a benefit they had been told that it would be detriment.
 Speeches were made by Secretary H. G. Spauldbag, of the Chamber of Commerce; E. B. Bloom, Of the Bridge Commission; Mayor A. C.. Jordan, w. E. Mullikin, w. c. Hud- son, A. H. Powell, Judge B. J. Ker- w.n, w. N. Trulock, Simon Bloom, B. M. Schober and others.

Let ters received by him from residents of m,eighboring counties indicated that the people around us were only awaiting Ehe building of the Free Bridge to connect with Pine Bluff i'll a business way. He spoke of the benefits of a Free Bridge, as they had been demonstrated to him Tn reality in other cities and towns and he predicted great things for Pine Bluff and it's Chamber of Commerce after its completion.
 Mayor A. C.. Jordan, who returned yesterday from trip in the NoT'h- west declared that he saw the good effects of The Free Bridge publicity everywhere. He learned on lis re- cent trip that Arkansas is taking us place on the map. There is no reas- on now, he said, why an Arkaasan should not tell where he is rom 'sWhen you tell them you are 1ron Arkansas" he continued, "they plcH up their ears and seem to want 'e hear more about this state Artei you tell them where you are ron they ask Well, what are you gong 'o do about that Free Bridge dowi there?'
