Pickpocket Also Kept In Custody
Arrangement of Prisoners on
Formal Murder Charge
Likely at Once.

New York, II. Y. Every effort
of the police and district attorney to
induce "Gyp the Blood" and Lefty
Louie" to break their silence has SO
far failed. The arrest of these two
gun men, completing the roundup of
all the men wanted in connection
with the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai, the gambler, just two months
ago, was followed by four hours ex-
animation of the new prisoners.
The men were arrested in an apart
ment at 756 Woodward avenue,
Brooklyn, by Central Office detectives,
and when brought to police headQuar-
tiers by Deputy Commissioner Dough-
erty admitted their identity

statement by Dougherty, that gave the
police their clue.
The deputy said that his men
learned by listening to fragmentary
conversations among East Side
friends of the gunner that they could
see the picture show from their win
dows and that they lived in a house
the first floor of which was occupied
by laundry.

by Deputy Police Commissioners

District Attorney Frank Moss in the
absence Of District Attorney CharleG

Wives Held at Witnesses.
In an effort to reinforce evidence
against the men the police formally
held their wives as material witnesses,
as well as third man, Max Kahn,
and who was in the fat with the gun
men and their wives when detectives
broke in upon them at supper Satur-
day night. All three of these wit

capture was made.
Mr.. Moss said no promise of leni-

concerned in the murder have
made, resulting in the indictment of

the instigator of the crime.

oners' real names, probably will be

of "Gyp the Blood" and Lefty

brought about their arrest will not get
the reward.
