was decidedly the most picturesque OF
the three on the witness stand. He
could not restrain his enthusiasm 10
answer questions, and even partly an
ticipate them at times. He used the
vernacular of the gangster most OF the
time, and his words flowed in such tor
rents that he frequently had to De

Lefty" Louie was the coolest wit
ness of the three. He showed no emo

parent unconcern.
Candid About Records.
The prisoners were more than frank
in admitting their criminal recoros'
which were brought out in black details
by Mr.. Moss. "Gyp" admitted that he
had been convicted five times Of crime,
including burglary and larceny, and
HAD served time in the penitentary
He had not followed any legitimate
business for the last ten years, he said
He might have committed other crimes
for which he had never been tried, he
admitted
Whitley" Lewis conceded TO Mr.
Moss that he had committed various
crimes, and been convicted for some OF
them. Asked why lie had used various
aliases during mis- career in New York,
he said:
Il didn't use my real name, for l
didn't want 10 disgrace my family. /
was thief and everything else"
Lefty" Louie said that he had gone
under various names because he had
been arrested as a pickpocket several
times" and also because he did not
want to disgrace his family" lie was
first convicted Of picking pockets in
Boston, he said He had also worked"
in Chicago.
What did you do in Chicago" asked
Mr. Moss

in a while picked pocket" was the
answer.
When the Assistant District Attorney
asked Whitley" Lewis if he was not
armed on the night that Rosenthal was
killed, and had not frequently carried
a gun, the witness denied the first ques-
tlon emphatically and said in answer
to the second:
Il never carried pistol in my life,
and that is the Gods honest truth
Horowitz varied his denial OF being
O. real gunman, with a gun often in his
possession, by swearing that he never
carried a pistol. and that is as true as
my mother lives"
