 FOR OTHER GUNMEN
Schepps and Det 'ves From Whit mans Office .<> e Hot Springs for New S-Sandler Too
 Late See Prisoner

New ~ August 15.-At tine request of pi@ oSAttorney whitman the grand jury . S withheld tEe filing of it's pend
 ng tments against the murderers of Hern. A Rosenthal so as to hear the testi- mony of sam schepps. now on his way here from Hot Springs, Ark, in custody. While the county prosecutor believes the evidence thus far submitted to the jury Is sufficient for indictments he advised the Jury today 1t would be best to hear the testimony of Schepps to further strengthen the case.
 The district attorneys expects Schepps, who is said to have been a passenger
 in the assassination car, will add in- teresting details to the manner in which the murder was planned, which will strengthen the true bills contemplated against "Gyp the Blood and "Dago" Frank Cirofci,. eWhitey'' Lewis and Lefty Louie. the alleged murder crew. MT. Whitman believes schepps will be able also to throw light upon the man ner in which the alleged murderers were paid, thus corroborating the testimony of Jack Rose and 'Bridgie' Webber, that Lieut.. Charles Becker, charged with in- stigating the murder, was responsible for the payment.

 News that the grand. jury had failed to hand down it's. expected indictments to- day gave rise to reports that there had been a clash among the jurors growing out of doubts expressed by several that .he stories told by Rose. Webbef and Vallon were to be credited.
