Sixteen Men In It, Says Shapiro.
From Shapiro, driver of the gray car
which Bald Jack" Rose used to round
up the gun men and the lookouts for
the Rosenthal killing, the district at
torney has obtained a story more star
Ting than anything the driver had re-
vealed.
Not four Or five or SIX men only
were In the plot to murder the In
former, at least sixteen says Shapiro,
had knowledge Of the crime and were
on station In front of the Metropole to
blackjack or kill If necessary, but
active particularly in o~bstructing the
chase and In blocking off pursuers.
81 have described" said Shapiro,
"how we went IN and down town,
how we drove from the east side to
the wa.t side and collected the
passengers. Itzky and Sam Schepps
we're waiting with Jack Rose at
Sharkey's when I turned into Four
teenth street about 11:3O a. m. and
came to a stop under S%harkey's lights.
Schepps was dropped at Bridge Web
bers, at Forty second street and Sixth
avenue. Then we got another man at
Seventh e. and One Hundred and
Fortieth street and picked up two
more near Third avenue in the For
ties. When we got back to Bridgie's
once more Rose left the party. He
didn't dismiss the car; he just faded
away.
THAT wasn't the last l saw Of Jack
that night, because he was near Sixth
avenue and Forty third street when l
sent the car Into Fifth avenue. That
was just when one man in the car
! threatened with a gun, telling me that
I was a damned fool, because the
cops was in the know and that nobody
was to get into trouble. Out Of the
corner of my eye l saw Jack near
Sixth avenue"
Shapiro's story bears out what Dep
uty Commissioner Dougherty says,
that BALD Jack" was not one of the
killers, but that he waited nearby to
see that "the job had been pulled
off,"
