ENJOYED PICTURE SHOWS

Life for the nifty mine days that their
husbands were in hiding was a mixture
OF fun and fright for Mrs. Horowitz and
Mrs. Rosenberg. Trey had fun and lots
Of II. they say, in fooling the detectives
that shadowed them. but always there
was the fear that some time they might
make . mistake that would lead the de-
tectives to the hiding place.
While the preliminaries Of the Cor
oner's hearing were forward yesterday
the young women chatted gayly with
newly made acquaintance. relating
gleefully the story of how they had
helped their husbands elude the dstec-
tives and Of how careful and cautious
they had been not TO lead the detectives
to their home in Queens.
"Oh. II was funny" said Mrs. Horo-
witz. the dance We led Dougherty's
men. Nothing in a book or a show
ever beat what We did. OF course
Harry and Louis are innocent. They
told US that they had nothing to co
with tho killing OF Herman Rosenthal
and we believed them. Why shouldn't
We? They are good boys. They have
made US good husbands. There isn't
anything OF the killer or the murderer
In their makeup. But. you see, they
were in a dangerous position. Enemies
had framed up a case against them.
and It was best for them to keep out
Of sight.
well. II was the most amusing game
you ever heard OF. Lille Rosenberg
and I occasionally had to come over to
Manhattan. We could Just feel II in
tho air when one Of the Central once
men was shadowins us. It tickled us
to watch them They were so certain
sure that We weren't on and they
looked SO ridiculous lodging into door
ways and alleys whenever they thought
we were going to look behind us.
"The way We worked It was to keep
right on about our business until We
had got tho business over-whatever It

to have some fun. We would take an
elevated train and 60 clear up to The
Bronx maybe. the detective always near
us. BY arrangement We would some
times have q taxi waiting for US some
place where We knew the detective
couldn't grab another car in a hurry.

the taxi and scoot away before the de-
tective could find a machine.
Sometimes we would separate pur-
posely so as to give our shadower a
chance to pay one Of US a compliment
I mean to give him a chance to pick
one Of US out as the more important to
tag along after. Then the one that was

We would 60 into an ONCE building by
the front door and leave by the back.
We never headed for home unless we
were dead sure that we had thrown our
shadowers of the trail.
AT home We had great times telling
the boys how We fooled the sleuths.
Harry and Louie enjoyed our stories
Immensely. They couldn't have done
neater work themselves They said So
But with all our fun We were scared
and nervous sometimes to think that
the safety Of our husbands depended
| upon our watchfulness and planning.
We had many fright too. but IT al

and that wasn't really our fault.
"It wasn't because OF anything We did
or failed to do that Dougherty's men
turned up in our ne!ghborhood last
evening. Mrs. Rosenberg was seen
going to the delicatessen store, but that
was after the detectives were on the
ground"
Mrs. Rosenberg aninatedly told the
story Of how the two families had en-
Joyed life In hiding.

We are both good cooks. | want to tell
you. At least the boys said so. Maybe
that was because they haven't been
married very long.
I'VE knew everything that was going
on outside Of our world because We got
all the daily papers and read them
morning and evening. Lately there
hadn't been enough news about the case
to suit us. but it was fun TO read about
the search that was being made for our
husbands in every place under the sun
almost, places from New York to San
Francisco. We saw the other day that
sone Of the District Attorneys men
thought We were In Europe and that
gave us a laugh. But when people be-
gan to talk about the likelihood of Harry
and Louie being right here in New York
we didn't like that so much"
Both said that the arrest came az
