for the actual murder of Herman Ros-l
enthal, tonight were arrested in an
apartment at 1855 Woodward avenue.
Brooklyn, by central office detectives
and when brought to police headquar-
tiers by Deputy Commissioner Dough-

1t was careless word about NOV
ing picture show which the fugitives
could watch nightly from the rear
windows of their apartment, and Incl
dentally their wives, according to a 4
statement by Dougherty, that gave
the police their clew.
The deputy said that his men
learned by listening to fragmentary
conversations among east side friends
of the gunner, that Lefty and Gypi
could see the picture show from then
! windows, and that they lived in a
house, the first floor Of which was
occupied by a laundry. Detectives
4 searched all New York and every
nearby town as far as New Haven but
never found the right laundry ans
i picture show combination until they
1 were led to Brooklyn by the wives OF
4 the wanted men. Lille Lieben, wife OF
j Lefty Louie, and Lille Lefkowitz,
], wife OF Gyp, lived at 29s Grand street
and Al East 9Sth street respectively.
i Detectives watched them constantly
4 but for weeks without result. The
women never went anywhere togeth-
j er and when they went out would
Il ride an elevated train to some point,
i never the same point twice and then
Il would enter an automobile, thus out
J. stripping their pursuers.
1 Then it was discovered that two
Park Row dealers had sold about $3.50
; worth of installment furniture to
friends of Gyp and Louie, and this
t furniture was traced to the Brookryu
. apartment 1t had the picture show
e and laundry accomplishments and
4 when finally the two Lilies wers
q traced there, the arrest was made.
