 SENTHAL CASE.

True Bills Expected Against the Mur- der Crew-Reported Disagreement in Grand Jury Is Denied.

New York, Aug. 15.-At the reouest of District Attorney Whitman. the grand jury today withheld the filing of It's pending indictments against the murderers of Herman Rosenthal in order to hear the testimony of Sam Schepps now on his way here from Hot Springs, Ark, in the custody of Assistant District Attorney Rubin. While the county prosecutor believes that the evidence thus far submitted to the jury is sufficient for the pur- poses of indictment he advised the jury today that 1t would be best to hear the testimony of Schepps in or der further to strengthen the evidence.
 schepps' Testimony Valuable.
 The district attorney expects that Schepps, who is said to have been a passenger in the assassination car" while the murderers of Rosenthal were being rounded up. will add interesting details to the manner in which the murder was planned and will thna strengthen the contemplated trve bills against "Gyp the Blood" ''DaEo" Frank Girofiooi, ''Whitey" Lewis and 'Lerty' Louie, the alleged murdar crew. MT. Whitman also believes that | Schepps will corrobOrate the testimony of Jack Rose and "Bridgie" Webber, that Lieut.. Charles Becker. charged with instigating the murder was re- sponsible for the payment of the al- legged murderers.
 Maybe Indictment Against Him.
 Schepps is expected here on Sat urday. He will go before the grand jury on Tuesday as a material witness unless he disappOints the expectations of the state by refusing to tell hh story. In that event, it was intmated tonight by the district attorney. that one more indictment would be handed down that day. accusing Schcpps of eomphcity in the murder
 The news that the grand jury had failed to hand down it's expected in- dictments today gave rise to feportf that there had been a clash amona the jurors. growing out of the doubta expressed by some of them that the stories told by Rose, Webber and Val- lon were creditable evidence.
 Whitman Requested Delay.
 Any statement as to a clash or dis agreement in the grand jury room 10 absolutely unfounded," said Mir. Whit man tonight. Tt is essential that all the evidence be so presented that in- d1ctments found against the several defendants may be properly found. I requested the grand jury myself to delay the filing of the indictments un- til Tuesday, and l assume that it was at my request that such a delay oc- cured. The grand jury and the dts- tr1ct attorney are in entire accord and there has been no suggestion of fric- ton or disagreement of any kind"
