SAM SCHEPPE TO
EXPOSE THE GANG

New York, Dec. Sam Scbep-
pc will forfeit his immunity and will
face the possibility of trial for com
plicity in the murder of Herman Ro-
seminal should he carry out his re-
ported promise to reveal new evil
dence in support of the application of
former Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker for a new trial.
Becker's application for new tri-
al is to be argued in the court OF APP
peais tomorrow. The application is
based on the contention that the
rights of the defendant were ignored
by the court which convicted him OF
directing the murder of Rosenthal..
Assistant District Attorney Rubin
who aided in the prosecution OF Beck
ca and his gunner accVmpiices said:
IL do not think Scheppe has any
story to tell that will aid Becker. He
has twice told the same story about
the Rosenthal murder--once at the
trial of Becker and again in an af-
fidavit opposing Beckers application
for a new trial. Scheppe Is profess
sional confidence man and evidently
is now playing some game to get
money from Mrs. Becker.
"Scheppe's stipulation with the dis.
trict attorney provided he should have
immunity from prosecution II he
took the stand and told the truth.
II the committee admits he did not
tell the truth, the district attorney,
Of course, would noNpnger recognize
the stipulation. Scheppe could be
extradited for perjury or he could
be indicted and brought back to stand
trial for participation in the murder
Of Rosenthal."
Scheppes testimony was the main
stay of the states case against Beck
err. The jury decided he was not an
accomplice with Becker, Jack Rose,
Bridgy" Weber and Harry Valloon
in the murder plot and his testimony
was accepted as corroborating that OF
valloon, Rose and Weber. The lat
ter three wer egiven immunity In the
same terms as Scheppe. Should any
of them change their testimony they
could be placed on trial for murder.

MuTINY OR DISTRESS
LYNToN's PLIGHT
Tugs Instructed To Go To Assistance
Of British Bark Calling
For Help

Seattle, Dec. 2.-The British bark
Lynton, bound from Santa Rosalia,
Mexico, for the Columbia river, was
sighted off Capt. Flattery at 1880
am. signaling Assistance wanted
mutiny." The revenue cutter Man
ming, cruising in the Strait d Juan
de Fuca to assist shipping, is be-
lieved to have gone to the Lynton's
assistance.
No report had been received from
the Lynton late tonight since she
passed in at the cape flying distress
signals, but Senior Captain s. M.
Dunwoody of the revenue cutter SER
vice said the Manning undoubtedly
had gone to her assistance.
The Lynton, which was bound for
Portland, is supposed to have been
prevented from entering the Column
bia river by the storm which has
been sweeping the North Pacific the
IL st few days and was forced to put
into the Strait of Fuca for help.
When the Lynton passed Port Cres-
cent, inward bound tonight, she was
not flying the signal, and shipping
men are of the opinion that the sig
nal Y. F. was hoisted by mistake,
the captain intending to display Y. T.
meaning Want a tug" The revenue
cutters Manning and Bear, however,
have been instructed to pick up the
I.ynton and aid her II she needs
assistance.
