SLEUTHS TRY TO ~ KIDNAP SCHEPPS New York Detectives Beaten by District Attorney. ! GAMBLER TELLES HIS STORY ' Prosecutor Whitman Declares He Secured Corroboration of All Previous Confessions In the Rosenthal Murder. New York, Aug. 21—Headquarters detectives tried to kidnap Sam Schepps from the custody of the district attorney on Monday. They failed, and the little gambler who is regarded as one of the most important witnesses in the coming expose of the police “system,” in connection with the grand jury investigation of the murder of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, is still in charge of Mr. Whitman's men in the West side police station. District Attorney Whitman met Schepps at Albany. On the train two detectives made a demand for the little gambler in the name of the police department. Mr. Whitman replied that he would indict the first man who laid hands on Schepps and the detectives left the train. Schepps was taken off ' the train at the Grand Central station. At Fortythird street Captain Gilles and Detectives Dietrich, Hauser, McMahon and Gallagher, all Central office men, attempted to drag Schepps from a taxicab but Whitman interfered and the gambler was brought safely to a cell in the same balcony with Louis Libby and Jack Sullivan, better known as Jacob Reich. ' On the way from Albany Schepps talked freely with the district attorney. At the close of this conversation Mr. Whitman said: "When Schepps came before me, I said to him: ‘Schepps, tell me your story in plain language, no frills and no jokes.’ He proceeded to do so as best he could. I have secured all the corroboration of the confessions now in my possession that I expected. This will clear up and strengthen several vital points.” It was learned that Schepps admitted that he saw the murderers paid for killing Rosenthal. He declared that he was fully familiar with all the details of the murder plot. He accused Police Lieutenant Becker of being implicated in the plot. His statement is said to support perfectly that of Rose, Webber and Vallon, on whose confessions indictments have been asked from the grand jury. Representatives of the district attorney’s office have discovered $15,000 more deposited to the credit of Becker. This brings the total deposits of Becker up to $83,000. Fourteen bankers have been summoned to appear before the grand jury in connection with these deposits. A plot to blow up the west side prison and thus kill Jack Ro&e, “Bridgy” Webber. Harry Vallon and Sam Schepps. the principal witnesses against Becker, was revealed to the police by a letter received by Assistaant Prison Keeper Levy. The letter insist that gamblers are behind the plot, and that men are working on a tunnel to put the dynamite beneath the prison. Careful search by the police failed to reveal any such tunnel, but a special guard was posted around the prison. BARRED OIL CASH IN 1904. That Is Roosevelt’s Reply to Senator Penrose’s Charge.

D»W IS FREED; FACES NEW TRIAL District Attorney Will Go On With Second Indictment. SCENE OF JOY IN COURT Judge Among First to Congratulate; Jurors Weep; Jury Out But 34 Minutes—Three Ballots Taken. Los Angeles, CaJ., Aug. 20. —Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago lawyer, who has been on trial here charged with having bribed a prospective juror in the McNamara case, was found not guilty by a jury in Judge George H. Hutton’s court on Saturday. Another indictment remains against Darrow, charging the bribery of Robert F. Bain, the first juror sworn in the McNamara case. • It was reported immediately after of the verdict that the action practically closed the case, but District Attorney Fredericks said later that the prosecution would continue. The jury was out just thirty-four minutes. Although the members declared they were always of one mind, three ballots were taken, in order, as one of them said, that no “undue haste” be shown. The first ballot was 8 to 4 for acquittal, and the second 10 to 2. The third was a unanimous vote for “not guilty.” The scene following the reading of the verdict by Foreman M. R. Williams was remarkable. Men and women were hysterical, and several jurymen shouted Judge Hutton sank back in his chair, trembling and smiling. He made no attempt to quell the rejoicing. In fact, he was one of the first to congratulate Mr. Darrow As he grasped the hands of the lawyer the judge said: “Hundreds of thousands of hallelujahs will go up from as many throats when they hear of this.” On January 29 two Indictments were reported by the county grand jury against Darrow for the alleged bribery on Monday of Bain and Lockwood and upon arraignment the lawyer entered pleas of not guilty It was also maintained throughout that Darrow was the victim of a “frame qp” on the part of Franklin and authorities.

WHEN THE NOURIS DRIED THEIR HAIR ————— I .K.' • Or What the Doctor Discovered in the Heat of New York. By JUNE GRAHAM. (Copyright. 1912, by Associated Uterar* Press.) “Did he take it. mother, did he?” “Now girls,” Mrs. Vernon protested, breathlessly, “not all at once, please. Yes, he took It. Bab, dear, don’t prance.” “But, mother, I’m dancing for joy,” tall, fifteen-year-old Bab protested. “He’s such a dear.” “For how much?” asked Josephine, briskly. “It’s worth ten with break fast, mumsie. summertime, you know.” “But he takes his meals all out. Jo. And I let him have it for eight. He seems such a quiet person, just a big nice boy.” Boy? Hasn’t he a Vandyke and moustache, mother?” “Carlotta, not so loud. No. he is quite smooth shaven. He is a doctor. He has come on front the middle west -—lndiana, 1 think he said —to take up a special summer course here, and he needs a quiet place to live, with no distractions.” She paused Impressively to let this point penetrate. The guilty four surrounded her with sober faces and grave, sympathetic eyes. There was Bab, blonde as a Christmas doll, and tall for her age; Josephine, demure and brown eyed, with satin bands of dark hair bound about her small head. Madonna-wise. Bab said that Jo resembled a sleek young doe, with wide surprised eyes. Virginia came next, wondrously gentle, and fair like Bab. All the Vernon mischief found spring and gount In Virginia’s silence, and just now she sighed, as if over the doctor’s inpending fate. Last of all, Carlotta with her fox hair and fox eyes, half closed and full of amber glints, Carlotta who would wear gowns of dull apple greens, and tenderest browns and mauves, and look like a grave, sweet princess maiden. “We won’t bother him. mother dear.” said Carlotta now, kindly and understanding!}-. “Don’t you worry.” So Dr. Arnold settled down in his summer quarters contentedly, thankfully. The house was one of the old mansions in the Washington square district,.long since turned Into a select rooming place. With four daughters to care for and educate in her widowhood, Mrs. Vernon had chosen this as the most comfortable, and as Virginia put it, inconspicuous way of earning a living in New York. The doctor liked it. He was from a small town, thriving, but lacking frills He 'was past his first struggles, and has succeeded. Ever since his interne days In Chicago he had longed to spend a season each year in New ’Sfork, taking up special courses in one branch and another, and this was the first chance. There \vere no distractions, no annoyances at the Vernon house, he found. True, in the early morning as he passed out for breakfast he caught sight of various young persons, all with averted 'faces and hasty footsteps. “Good morning, doctor,” each would murmur, and gravely would the (doctor acknowledge the greeting. He wondered how many daughters Mrs. Vernon had. Saturday afternoon there were no classes at the clinics. The afternoons were for home study, he had decided. Seated by one of the long French windows, half hiddep by cool art scrim curtains, he behel.d one very young person sally stealthily forth into the back garden and proceed to dry her hair In the sun. It was a pretty garden, small as some toy one of Nippon. A stray bit of holy writ flittered airly through, the doctor’s mind. “My love is like a garden inclosed.” This was a garden inclosed In high brick walls, hidden by heavy masses of ivy. In the small diamond center of grass stood a tiny arbor, overrun with wistaria. There were pansy beds and. mignotfette borders, s and low groups of dusky red and gold nasturtiums. The doctor closed his book and regarded the young person drying her hair in the sun. It was beautiful hair. She might have been the love of the South Wind. My Lady Dandelion, with that golden glory falling about her. Her hair took on most wondrous In the sunlight, the doctor mused'. This must be one of Mrs. Vernon’s daughters. The youngest, possibly. Her shoulders drooped In schoolgirl fashion. The doctor resumed his reading. Presently when he glanced up Aere were two girls in the garden. Industriously and without regard for the world above the garden, they dried their hair in the sun. Josephine’s hair was very long. She looked like some brown nymph of the woods when it fell about her. The doctor became meditative, almost retrospective. In this day of artificiality and pl-etense it was refreshing and reassuring to find here, in the heat of New York, such normal, beautiful crowns of glory, he told himself. It showed poise of health, of mental and physical health. Here Virginia stole forth, robed in the white garments of a blameless life, her long blonde curls dripping like some Lurline of the Rhine. “You’ll get your kimono all wet.” admonished Jo, the practical. Virginia laid her fingers to her lips. "Mother says we must not talk. We might disturb the doctor, girls.” The doctor closed his book and laid It on the desk. Beneath his windows, to and fro along the narrow walks, paced the girls, drying their hair In the sunlight Women to him meant frail, nervous, pitiable creatures, handicapped by the old curse of Eden. Young or old, rich qr poor, he had grown to class them indiscriminately as patients of the Infinite, ever ailing. These girls were not of this class. Every vibrant electric hair on their lovely heads upheld its own affidavit as to their perfect health, and even while the doctor mused, Impersonally, professionally even, out stepped Carlotta, her tawny curls clinging to her head, a huge turkish towel wrapped around her shoulders over a dress of silk the color of a lily leaf. SuaJight and firelight mingled, the

doctor thought, watching that radiant I topknot steal the(sun’s glorj. She lovI ered her -head and swept the curling J mass forward, and the doctor knew no | man’s eyes had ever seen its like beifore - ' L j He moved the curtains back with one hand, and 10, the four lifted innocent eyes of wonderment, and Virginia asked: Are we disturbing you. doc* tor?" And the doctor was abashed. He protested that he was not being disturbed, but that it was a great pleasure. Bab chuckled. The doctor bowed discreetly and withdrew his head, seized his hat and went out for a walk to forget the view of the garden disclosed. “I’m afraid we did disturb the doctor, girls,” said Carlotta. “Maybe he isn’t used to a galaxy, girls.” “Are we that, Carlie?" Bab cried joyously. “Something starry and beauteous! He looked at you the longest.” “His eyes were glued to your hair,” pronounced Jo. Carlotta laughed. “That’s a neat little picture. Jo, I must say. Hope they come off easily. Remember once at school when a boy threw chewing gum at my hair. I mean my rippling curls, and you girls had ■■ to cut it out before mother discovered It." “V ell, I don’t eare.” said Virginia, firmly. “I think the doctor is just as tame and intelligent as he can be.” ‘lntellectual, Gene. Animals are intelligent.” “Man Is the noblest brute of aIL saith someone. He has a most intelligent face.” Every Saturday afternoon the doctor’s study hour was interrupted by what he called In his heart of hearts the hair washing festival of the hourls. Did he watch for it? The doctor was young and human, and he had an appreciation of the beautiful. Also, had he not come to New York to study life in all her myriad phases. Most of all he watched for Carlotta and her strange red gold curls, tawny as some iox of the woods. And he prolonged his weeks of special study. One evening he was late from a lecture. As he bounded up the stairs. Mrs. Vernon met him, a trifle pale and worried. “Was there any accident in the subway, doctor? The girls are late, too.” “None in the subway. There’s a big fire uptown. I stayed to watch them, take away the injured. It’s the Washington theater.” “The girls are there. Bab and Carlotta and Jo. Virginia stayed to keep me company. Oh, doctor, my girls— The doctor became suddenly his professional self. “Get rooms ready. I may be able to bring them home. And keep yourself steady. They will need you, you know. Nobcdy was killed. Mrs. Vernon.” His cheery, strong voice buoyed her up even after the door slammed behind him. Swinging along Waverly place, around Fifth avenue, and so to the Eighth avenue stand, the doctor took a taxi up to the hospital where the injured had been taken.
