Sam Schepps, who was before the jury two hours, did even more toward implicatisg Becker in the murder plolt than had been anticipated by District Attorney Whitman, who expected no more of him than a corroboration of the story tod by Jack Rose. Zelig Corroborates Ros: Jack Zelig, whose app the grand jury came also supported Rose it was learned. Their stories dovetailed chonologically, Zelig telling of happen- ings before the murder tending to show the alleged deetrmination of Becker to get rid of Rosenthal, the gambler who had “squealed” against him, and Schepps telling of ovents 2 er the murder which pointed back the police officer's alleged preprations to carry out his determination ance before surprise, BECKER'S DEPOSITS TOTAL Police Lieutenant Accumulated Wealth After Becom- ing Head of Gambling Squad $90.000 HAD DEPOSIT VAULTS District Attorney Whitman Obtains Record of Their Visits to Them—Testimony of Schepps and Jack Zelig Greatly Strengthens Case Against Accused Lieutenant—Grand Jury Returns New Indictments Against Becker and Pals, after he becams the gambling squad head, and about the same time his frst large bank deposits began.

DISCRIMINATION IN FAVOR OF MILLIONAIRES, Schepps Relates Conversations. Schepps told the jury, is was learn- ed, that It was true that he acter as a go-between for Rose and Becker, while Rose, panicky and eick from fear of arrest, was in hiding at the homme of Harry Pollok and beseeching Becker to save him. Schepps, it was . learfed, told the jury of his conversations with Becker and Rose about the murder, and it was the witness' testimony con- cerning these conversations - which came a8 unexpected news to the grand jury and th edistrict attorney. What he ‘quoted Becker as saying could not be learned, but it is known that the conversations pointed back to events before the murder which the prosecu- tor belleves materially strengthened Rose’s story that Becker was its In- stigator. Schepps Contradicts Hart's Testimony. The witness testified further, it was learned, that he was present at the time Richard G. Barter, the notary publie, came to Pollok's house with John 'W. Hart, Becker's attorney, to get Rose to sign the affidavit which was to clear Becker of Rosenthal's charge that the police oficer wes t gambler's partner In his faro place. Schepps said that he was present part of the time while Hart was dic ering with Rose over the affidavit, and corroborated Barter's testimony as to what took place, including the notary public’s declaration that Hart and himself, who had been brought there by Becker tn a tazicab, were not ad- mitted to the house until Hart had given the signal. The witness' testi- mony directly contradiots the story of Hart, who stated that Schepps was not present. Schepps went before the jury, it was learned, unaware of the details of what either Barter or Hart had testified to, and surprised the jury by his close corroboration of details as given by Barter. Incidentally it came out before the that the notary public has never e peid by Becker for his trouble. Zelig Also Shows Up Becker. The testimony of “Jack” Zelig was a story of how Becker attempted to get him into his power and to take part in the murder plot. All that Zelig had to do with it, he sald, was to recom- mend to Jack Rose the names of the gun men, “Gyp the Blood" and his crew, who would do_the “job. How Becier first “framed” him for a sail sentence on the charge of carrying ‘concealed weapons, was the gang lead- er's first chapter, and in support of his charge that Becker's men “planted” a gun on hi mat the police station, five witnesses testified before tho jury that AZellg when arrested by Becker's men East Side restaurant had de- :u:&d that he be publicly searched. The demand, according to al' five, was refused. : Zelig Suggested Men to Kill Ro! The next chepter of Zelig's story was that Rose had come to him and told him that Becker wanted Rosenthal put out of the way, and would Zelig Kkindly furmish the men to kill him. In return, Becker would have the charge nst him quashed when it came to trial. Zellg's reply was, he said, that he would have nothing to do with the murder himself, zut did suggest the names of men who would do the I e sum of $10,000 was then put_up with a surety company by Rose, Val- ‘lon and Waebber for a bail bond re- lensing Zelig, which, according to the witness, he understoood wac by orders from the police lieutenant. Zelig’s Arrest Surpri Whitman, Zellg came here today from Provi- dence, R. L, where he was arrested last Thursday as a pickpocket at the instigation, it was reported here, of the New York police. This action was a surprise to the district attorney, who not only had the word of Zelig’s coun- sel, former Magistrate Wable, that he would produce his client whenever he was wunted, but also had in his pos- session the $10,000 badl bond. It was only by quick aetion on the part of Mr, Wahle that he was able to get Zellg here in tims for the grand jury session here. Becker's Deposits Total $90,000.
