$4,000 REWARD
FOR CAPTURE OF
TWO MUR0ERERS

New York, June ia reward OF 5000
was offered today for the arrest and
conviction OF the two mon who last night
murdered Julius T. Rosenheimer presi-
dent of the London Needle company, at
his home in Pelham. Two suspicious per-
sons have been arrested by the local police
simply because they could not explain
their movements. but are not believed TO
have had anything TO do with the murder.
Rosenheimer was struck down by two
men while walking in a secluded path In
his own grounds. II Is believed that the
weapon used was a small siedge hammer.
Although his wife was near and watching
Mr.. Roeenheimer when he was killed
nothing was known today OF the identity
OF the mrNderers or their motive.
Mrs. Rosenhemer tainted upon seetine
the fatal blow struck. and since being re-
vived has been unable to give any clear
account of tire assault or accurate de-
ecr1ption OF the murderers.
As Mr.. Rosenheimer has been employ
ing a large number OF Itahans TO work on
his country estate at Pelham. and Is said
20 have had a quarrel with one OF them,
suspicion has pointed TO some of them
burt beyond that suspicion the police have
no clue.
Edward T. Roeenheimer. a son OF the
murdered man, Is determined to find the
men and I'm consequences offered the re-
ward OF 1900 today. A number OF Italian
detectives were at work on the case to-
day.
