master of the assassins of Herman
Rosenthal, arrived in New York

companied by District Attorney Whit
man, Assistant Rubin, and several
county detectives working for the
district attorney and 1t was only by
swift rush hlrough the Grand Cen
tral station that they prevented the
New York police from seiztng the
prisoner.
Central office men headed by De-
tective Deitsch, and a squad of po-
Iicemen under Captain Gillian, were
on hand to meet the train and
Deitsch at once demanded Schepps.
Whitman paid no attention to the
demands, but without delay had his
men rush Schepps to the station and
into a waiting taxicab. Schepps was
taken to the West Side prison, where
Rose, Webber and Vallon are quar-
tered. Whitman went to his office
to arrange for Schepps appearance
before the grand jury.
When the postponed arraignment
of Lieutenant Becker came up again
today before Judge Crane, Becker's
attorney called up the defendants
motion that he be allowed to inspect
the grand jury notes. This demand
was based on published reports that
there was dissention in the grand
Jury. District Attorney Whitman
being busy with Sam Schepps, his as
sistant asked that the hearing go
over to tomorrow. Becker's formal
pleading will be heard Wednesday.
Schepps was committed to the
West Side prison on a charge of
vagrancy by an agreement between
Whitman and Sadler, Schepps' at
torney. His hearing was set for a
week from today.
