District Attorney Expects to OBJ

From Sam Schepps

seminal Was Killed

NEW YORK, Aug l.-District At
torney Whitman expected today TO in
terview probably the most important
witness In the entire Rosenthal muir
der conspiracy. He was Sam Schepps
who rode about all OF the night be-
fore Rosenthal was slain with Jack
Rose and heard the bargaining WITH
the expert gunner. Schepps, Whit
man has also been informed, knows
more than any other one man about
how police graft was collected in The
downtown section. The district at
torney was hoping that he might be
able to furnish Information that would
enable the prosecution to get ilde-
pendent evidence necessary 10 have
Rose, Weber and Vallon's stories ad-
mitted as evidence against Police
Lieutenant Becker.

prove an alibi the district attorney

those at the door of the Metropole
when Rosenthal was shot down. The
prosecutor believes Cirocisi would be
willing to tell everything he knows

degree murder. thus escaping the
chair.
But HIS testimony would not help
the case against Becker. Under the
famous conspiracy decision OF the
supreme court of the United States
the testimony of co-conspirator
must be corroborated completely from
an independent source. Whitman be-
lieves that II he can show a motive
he will have the additional evidence
necessary to make the story OF the
other principals material.
Meanwhile Whitman was today fol
lowing up the allegation Of Rose.
Weber and WALTON that Becker had
ordered them to murder Rosenthal ~
days before he was actually killed
and that only the fact that the gun
men chosen to kill the gambler dis
covered that they were being shad-
owed by private detectives prevented
the killing at that time. He will alsu
try TO- trace the $1,000 which Vallon
says ne paid 10 the quartet who shot
