Show No Emotion at Verdict.
Like Becker. the gunner heard the
verdict pronounced against them yester-
day afternoon without show of emotion.
They stood at the bar, looking straight
ahead, as the foreman Of the jury rose to
kk1x3ke AuOWH the TcSulL VI IFS uCilocId d.
tons. and they continued to stare stoi-
oaily In front of them until the formali-
ties OF the proceeding were concluded.
Remanded to their cells in the Tonbs,
they turned and filed out of the court
room with as firm a step as when they
had entered. Whitley" Lewis-he who
was the most dramatic of the four when
he testified on the witness stand-alone
walked with head bowed.
AS they entered the door leading over
the Bridge of Signs "Gyp' said some
thing to Lefty" in a sullen undertone
which none could hear. Outside,
"Lefty's'' doll-faced wife, 'Lefty's LII
ilan," as she is called, wept on the
shoulder of her husbands father, who
vainly tried to comfort her-for the YER
dict was quickly flashed from the court
room to the waiting crowds without.
"Gyp's' wife, known as .'Gyp's Lillian"
received the news in the house of deten-
ton. The other two gunmen are un-
married.
Appeal From Verdict to Be Filed.
Former Magistrate Charles G. F..
Wahle. counsel for the gunmen, announc-
ed that he would appeal from the verdict
and, as in the case of Becker months
may elapse before their ultimate fate is
determined. Meantime they will occupy
cells near that of the former police
lieutenant in the death house at Sing
Sing
