New York, Nov. 2Z.Jack Rose,
Bridge" Weber, Sam Schepps and
Harry WALTON, the informers in the
Rosenthal case, are breathing the free
mir of this city. Their release from the
west side prison yesterday was spec
tacular. Sam Schepps, the first Of the
four to be released, flashed his rolf of
| yellow backs to the crowd upon being
discharged for ~vagrancy, chatted nerv-
ously about himself In the corridors
for a few minutes and then, with a
suitcase in either hand, made a dash
for a taxicab and cackled Historically
to moving picture men and the crowd
to make way for the taxicab so that he
could get away from there quick"
Jack Rose and "Bridgie'' Weber
sneaked away two hours later, or early
In the afternoon, hidden behind the
drawn shades of taIicabs which first
had been backed into the prison yard
so that the informers could climb into
the taxicabs unseen by the crowd of
500 or more men and women waiting
beneath the elevated tracks In West
Fi%fty-third street.
Harry Ynllon, watching his chance
while the crowd vas pressing toward
the Jail yard gates to see the taxis
come out, appeared at the street door
Of the Jail, above the heads Of the
crowd, while all ayes were glued to the
gates leading to the yard. And Vallon
quickly sneaked down the steps to the
edge of the crowd, circled 1t and climb
ed into a touring car and sped away.
Afraid of tho Police.
All chartered loudly that they had no
fear of bodily harm from the crowd,
Individually or collectively, but that
they did fear the uniformed police and
plain clothes men whom Inspector
Dwyer had brought to the prison to
had a speech all prepared, which after
a rehearsal within and against the ad
vice of Lawyer Bernard Sander and
the protests of the timid "Brldgie'
Weber, he insisted upon trying to de
liver from the highest step leading to
lie e,tV44 oeoi As lriSca.
1t was a speech Ia which the uni
formed and plain clothes men We're to
be designated by Rose as trainers. and
the higher officials and the city admin
istration in general, the officials to be
named by the baldheaded orator IN
turn, were to be told they are highly
and exceedingly inefficient sapheads."
But Jack wasn't permitted to make his
speech. The police told him in effect to
beat it."
Schepps Immediately upon his release
In the forenoon raced north to the
home of his mother in West One Hun
dred and Forty-fourth street. There,
later In the day, came Miss Sadie APP
field from the office Of Lawyer Thomas
L. Reilly, counsel for Mrs. Leona
Schepps, to serve upon Schepps a n
tice and N in accordance with
a bill of divorce for statutory cause
and asking $40 a week alimony and
500 counsel fee.
Rose, accompanied by his brother
and Lawyer Sander, shot north in
Eighth emu in their taXicab to Sew
enty-second street and Riverside drive
Here the shades were raised SO that
Rose might pick out a perfectly good
mansion along the drive in front of
which he wanted to pose for the pho
tographers in the machine that accom-
panied him. He climbed out on the
east side of the drive and struck an
attitude. The camera man had just
finished pho%tographing him when a
policeman came along aud ordered
Rose to leave.
Rose re-entered the auto, and the
machine started up the drive in a
cloud of dust. Rose and his brother
continued north for a ride and then
returned to Roses home at One Hun
dred and Tenth street and Broadway,
where he stayed last night.
Weber Is Mysterious.
"Bridgey" Weber and Mrs. Weber
motored south down Seventh avenue
Their destination was not learned.
Rose will stay in town for a day or
two and then go to Florida to 'rest
up"
Vallou says he can't live in any place
except New York permanently. He
will 20 to Florida for awhile and then
return to New York. He said he In
tended to run a moving picture show
on his return. Weber intends to sal
for Europe tomorrow and stay abroad
for about three months.
The three informers shook hands
with Willie Shapiro, the chauffeur OF
the murder car, just before leaving
the prison. Willie has been indicted
for murder In the first degree. A mo
ton will have to be made by the dis
trict attorney in the supreme court tc
dismiss the indictment In Willie's case
before he will be freed

traphed him an offer of $500 per week
