Frankly admitting his distrust Of
the Police Department more specif-
cally than he had previously done in
the Rosenthal case. District Attorney
Whitman announced last night that
through the contribution of certain
unnamed citizens he would make the
formal offer of reward Of $500 for
the apprehension of Harry Horowitz
alias Glib the Blood" and the same
reward for Louis Rosensweig, alias
Lefty Louie
He barred any member of the New
York Police Department from partici-
patiug in the reward, however on the
ground that from his work on the case
he had come To believe that IL the Po-
lice Department had done it's work
properly from the start the two fugi-

for the apprehension of Louis Rosens-

and Harry Horowitz alias Glib the
Blood or of $500 for the apprehen-
sion of either one of them.
This reward is not offered to any
member of the Police Department of
the city Of New York or to anybody in
the employ of the Police Department,
and will not be paid to any such MEM
ber nor to any one in the Police De-
partment's employ.
In taking this position I am actuated
by no feeling of unkindness toward the

chief among Mr.. Whitmans reasons
for suspecting the police of inactivity.
If not of criminal neglect Of duty, are
these points:
That the police although swarming
through the block in which the mut,lrT
was committed, turned i'm reports of
MronS numbers Tor the gray automobile
in which the murderers escaped:
That the lieutenant on the desk i'm the
west 4'th street station house entered
! these confusingly wrong numbers on the

! the correct number a citizen, thrown into

That the detectives sent to the Catskills

not yet apprehended two of the actual
murderers

automobile whiz by going north, with
the; taxicab in hot but vain pursuit

gray car had gone north In Lexington

how those policemen had been able to
