SCHEPPS TELLS
 MURDER STORY
 TO GRAND JURY

New York; Aug 20-Sam Schepps was expected to tell today to the Ro- senthal grand jury the same story of graft and murder as he told to Dis trict Attorney Whitman and the County. Prosecutor looked for at least seven indictments.
 Whitman expected that the grand jury would re-indict Lieutenant Beck CT and return true bills against the four accused gunmen, Lefty Louie and Gyp the Blood, both being hunted, and Whitey Lewis and Dago Frank Ciro- fici, in custody. Besides these in dictments, the district attorney asked for bills against Jack Sullivan, friend and agent of Becker, and William Shapiro, driver of the murder car.
 The police today were in doubt what to do with Big Jack Zelig, east side dence, R. l. Jack Rose, in his con- fession, named Zelig as the man who gave the order for gunmen to assas- sinate Rosenthal.
 Deputy Commissioner Dougherty. on the phone, asked Whitman if he want ed Zelig, and the district attorney re- membering the scene at the Grand Central station when the police tried to kidnap Schepps. replied that if he wanted Big Jack he would get him himself.
 Before the grand jury reconvened today District Attorney Whitman paid a visit to the West Side prison for another conference with Sam Schepps,
 He also talked with Rose, Webber and Vallon. The prosecutor said that Schepps would be the most important witness the grand jury yet had heard in connection with the Rosenthal mur- der and seemed confident that Schopps would clinch the case against Lieuten- ant Becker.

 Judge Mulqueen. today, denied Lieut.. Becker's motion for permission to inspect the notes of the grand jury which indicted him for the murder of Gambler, Herman Rosenthal. Schepps, alleged paymaster of the Rosenthal assassins, was on his way from the West Side Prison to the grand jury room in taxicab. He re- fused to ride in the regulation prison rwa gon and the district attorney fur nished the taxi.
 Schepps, before starting for the criminal courts building, made out a requisition on District Attorney Whit man in which the following are few of the htings demanded:
 A bed quilt of blue silk, house slip pers, g. Turkish rug, white silk socks, cigarettes, the daily newspapers. cur rent magazines, writing materials.
 While waiting to go before the grand jury, Schepps wrote two tele- grams which a messenger boy sent. The first was to the chief of police of Hot Springs, Ark, and was as follows:
 Arrived in New York safely. Many thanks for your courteous treatment. hope to visit you again in the near future.'
 The other telegram was to Mayor Pellett, of Hot Springs, and was of a similar nature.
 Tn the midst of Sehepps' telegram writing, Central office men arrived at Whitman's office with Big Jack Ze- liz, gunman and alleged procurer of the Rosenthal assassirs. Zelig was arrested in Providence, and despite whitman's earlier refusal of Deputy Commjssione Dougherty's offer to pro-
