Schepps Willing to Return

Hot Springs. Ark, August 14.--Sudden- ly changing his mind tonight, Sam Schepps, arrested here last Saturday night and held as a material witness In the Rosenthal murder case announced his willingness to return to New York with Assistant District Attorney Rubin. Postmaster Johnson advised him to ac- cept as conclusive the telegram received by acting mayor Petit today, giving a description of Rubin, Stewart and Thomas. Thomas is expected here to- morrow. Bernard Sander. Schepps at torney. probably will arrive late tonight or tomorrow. Rubin Is expected to start for New York with Schepps some time tomorrow.
 Had to Identify Rubin
 Schepps' decision to return to New York with the two representatives of District Attorney Whitman followed a day of indecision. Schepps attitude seemed to be that of wavering between fear that the men who arrived today were not Rubin and Stewart and belief that perhaps after all they were. Early in the day he professed to be dissatisfied because Rubin could not fully Identify himself as the district attorneys repre- sentative and acting mayor Petit of Hot Springs sent a message to Mr. Whitman requesting that an accurate description of the men be sent to him. The district attorney replied, the Inscriptions tallied
 with the men here and tonight Schepps agreed to be given into their custody Later in the day Rubin showed Schepps an acknowledgement of pay ment made to an insurance company. a letter written by William Rubin, his brother. and such other documents that would prove his identity to Schepps. Schepps first would say, Tt look s all right" but the next moment his attitude would change and his inde- cision continued until night. Just before a train was due to leave this afternoon this conversation took place:
 Well. what time can we get out of here?" .,
 "Too bad; but as we'll have to stick. why not wait for Sandler?" The first question was asked by Sam Schepps in the presence of Hot Springs authorities and dozen newspaper men.
 Rumors were heard here during the day of a federal warrant having been issued for Schepps' arrest. The men, ton in his presence of a report re- gently that a federal indictment stands against him in Oregon for alleged opium smuggling caused him tSchepps) to laugh. He declared that fine had been paid long ago by Portland at torney "in behalf of the people really interested in that case

Becker Denies Deposits

New York, August 14.-Although Police Lieutenant Becker. charged with instigat- ing the murder of Herman Rosenthal, denied to his counsel today that he had ever possessed s5S.s45. credited to his name, nor that of his wife, in various New York banks, District Attorney Whit man today obtained from officials of the Chesla Exchanges bank records showing that the police officer had deposited S3500 in that institution in April, bringing the recorded total of Becker deposits up to S62, ,345.
 Getting this record was another result of aid promised by powerful banking in terests in the district attorneys efforts to expose biacSmail in the police force. The prosecutor heard also today of still another deposit of s3500 which recently was withdrawn by Becker's wife. There still are four more banks with Becker s deposits to be heard from.
 No Delay in Trial Rosenthars alleged slayers will be brought to trial without delay. The plan k to try them separately and to begin the first trial in September. Lieutenant Becker probably will be the last man to be tried Mir Whitman believes that he has an easy case against "Dago Frank Cirofici and "Whity' Lewis, two of the alleged actual nluruererS, ana tHdt lut conviction will be but matter of few days.
 Louis Libby. part owner of the ''mur- der car' was transferred from the tombs to the west side prison today, where he will be in company with Jack" Rose, "Rridgie" Webber and Harry Vallon. William Shapiro, his partner, whom the district attorney believes has not been telling the whole truth, will remain in the tombs practically in solitary confine- ment
 Shapiro has been unable to identify members of the murder car" Assistant District Attorney Moss found two eye witnesses to the murder today, making six people who are able to identify the men who fired the shots.
 In response to a telegram from Assist ant District Attorney R. G. Rubin, MT. Whitman wired tonight to authorities in Hot Springs description of his represen- tative that they might be satisfied he is the proper person to whom they should deliver Sam Schepps. under arrest there as a material witness.
 The grand jury did not meet today, but after hearing additional witnesses, tomor- row 1t is expected some indictments will be handed down.
