fiat in the Brownsville section of
Brooklyn. They were arrested by
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty and a squad Of detectives. who
brought them to police Headquarters
and locked them up. They will be
arraigned Monday.
The two men had been occupying
the fiat since August Is, and were
alone until last Tuesday, when they
were joined by their wives. through
whom clues to their Whereabouts
were obtained by the police.
The four were sitting at tea when
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and
his men burst open the door of their
apartment and with revolvers drawn
ordered them to hold up their hands.
Neither Of the men made any show Of
resistance.
Drop your guns. You've got u.s."
said "Gyp the Blood" calmly.
Give us a little time to get dress
ed. will you?" said "Leftie," with
equal composure.

and were later brought to headquar-
ters.
With the arrest of "Gyp" and
"Leftie," whose real names are Harry
H0rowitz and Louis Rosenweig, all
OF the seven men accused Of the mur-
der of ROsenthal, Of which Police
Lieut.. Charles Becker is the alleged
instigator, are now in custody. The
capture Of the two men came as a
result Of what is regarded in police
circles as the best detective work
done in the history Of the department.
1t was the fruit of unbroken surveil-
lance of the wives and relatives Of the
men since their disappearance on the
day of the murder, July 16. This
surveillance was maintained by sixty
detectives working in relays, who kept
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty con-
stantly in touch with what they did
and where they went.
The fl al clue came as the result of
piecing together a number Of conver-
sations overhead by detectives and
reported to the commissioner at diff
ferent times. The first conversation
was that they are not lonesome, be-
cause they can see a moving picture
show from their back windows"
Another conversation gave the in
formation that there was a laundry
In the house, where the missing men
lived, which was named either the
New Brighton the Bright" or the
brighton Hand Laundry" A third
conversation supplied the fact that
the neighborhood was full OF Swedes
and Germans
1t then became Commissioner
Doughertys task to discover some
where hand laundry in proximity to
moving picture show in a vicinity
inhabited by foreigners Of the nation
alities named. The possible name Of
the laundry was obtained less than
two days ago, and the commissioner
discovered that there were half a doz-
en- laundrieS of similar names in New
York city and many more in other
cities, for the commissioner did not
assume that the gunmen were neces-
sarily located in New York
When we found the laudry with
moving picture show close by, there
were no Swedes or Germans in the
neighborhood," said Mr.. Dougherty
tonight. When We found a laundry
with the foreigners in the neighbor-
hood. there was no moving picture
show. one Of our laundry clues took
us to New Haven and We were just
about to investigate another in PITTS
burgh.''
