conflicting stories were told. Several well known men declared that Rosen- thai had been called out of the hotel by a man who led him through the main entrance so that he would be strongly silhouetted in the bright light from the hall.

The gamb- lers had turned against Rosenthal be- cause he had "squealed," the code of the fraternity being that, no matter what happens, a man shall fight his own fights without appealing either to the courts or the police.
 The police did arrest one man about an hour after the shooting. He was booked by them as ''John G.
