Police Fail to Seize Schepps in Rosenthal Case
New York August 19 Police persistently tried to take Sam Schepps from District Attorney Whitman’s custody during a trip from Hot Springs Ark. He is held on technical grounds in the West Side Jail under DA surveillance as a key witness in the Rosenthal murder case. Schepps, with Whitman, arrived at Loth Street station and was guarded by officers to prevent contact without Whitman’s credentials. Whitman pledged to protect Schepps from police interference and to ensure his testimony before the grand jury tomorrow. The district attorney’s force sought to keep Schepps from Becker and Rosenthal informants, while Schepps claimed Rose provided crucial details aligning with Whitman’s case against Beckers’ alleged graft links.
