GIVEN 80 YEARS
.HED PHIL" DAVIDSON. CONFESSED
MURDERER OF GANG LEADER
Is sENTEN CEDs

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-"Red Phi''
Davidson, confessed murderer Of. the
ring leader, Big Jack Zelig, was sem
fenced today by Justice Goff In the
criminal branch Of the Supreme court
to Imprisonment IN Sing Sing for not
less than thirty years nor more than
life
Davidson. who pleaded guilty to
murder in the second degree last week,
was calm and alert in his bearing to-
day At all Of bis former appearances
in court he had been sloyenly dressed
and had Nept. wrung his hands and
seemed insane to the casual spectator.
Today he wore good clothing, seemed
entirely master of himself, and all
signs Of the supposed insanity had
disappeared Even when Justice Cot
announced the penalty he did not
cringe.
Two alienists examined Davidson
last week and reported that while he
was mentally deficient he was not in
sane.
Red Phif' shot Zelig on street
car on october 5th, asserting then that
the gangster had robbed him of $500,
though the district attorneys office
believes that ZelIg had been put out
of the way so he could not testify
against Becker.
