R0SENTHAL IS BURIED
Room Where Roulette Wheel
Once Turned Used for Funeral.
HESPER CLUB REPRESENTED
Crowd Which Surrounds the
House Blocks Street Traffic
for a Time.

The funeral Of Herman Rosenthal took
place yesterday morning at IL o'clock at
No. l0S West 18th street, in room where
the dead gambler at one time ran "a
roulette wheel. There was big crowd in
the street outside the house and most OF
the windows In the neighborhood were
occupied by women in kmonos. More
than an hour before Rabbi Greenfield, of
the Washington Heights (ReforIned) Con-
gregatior, began the reading Of the burial
service a throng of men and boys had
entered the house, passed the coffin, and,
after glance at the murdered man, had
gone into the street again. A good many
OF Rosenthals friends and former asso-
ciates. gamblers from the East side and
from the Tenderlon, came with flowers,
which they laid upon the casket.
4 little while before the time for the
service to begin the gamblers widow
came into the room with her sister-in-
law She had not seen the body since
Rosenthal was murdered except on the
night OF the murder, when she saw Vt
covered UP III the HOlel'
When she gazed on the face Of her hus-
hand yesterday Mrs. Rosenthal became
hysterical.
That's not my Herman" she said
There has been some terrible mistake. y
The dead gamblers sister soothed the
historical woman after some little time
and the two took seats at the side Of the
room.
No reference to the manner in which
Rosenthal met his death was made by
the rabbi, and no mention was made OF
the police. The dead gambler was COM
pared to King David, WHO had no place
to rest his head, no refuge from the darts
Of his enemies.
Rabbi Greenfield said that RosenthaI s
life had been characterized by extreme
devotion TO his family and friends, and
that on many occasions he had helped the
poor and needy.
The Hesper Club was we'll represented
at the funeral There were no pallbear-
ers. and the coffin was taken to the hearse
by undertakers assistants. In the crowd
that occupied carriages which followed
the hearSe to the washington NetlelelS'
where the body was buried, were Aaron
Hanover. known as the Mayor or Ave
nue. c.: Young Griffo," the prizehghter;
kid Belts" and delegation from the
Elks Club.
The dead mans brother, Edward D.
Rosenthal, and his sisters assisted Mrs
Rosenthal into the first carriage, ana
others of the immediate family followed
They were Mrs. Isidore Mensch. Mrs.
Samuel Ring, Mrs. Joseph zimmerman ana
Minnie Rosenthal
The police had a hard time getting
clear passage for the hearse ana car
riages The crowd had TANNED i2d street
and was so dense about the Sixth avenue
corner that for a time all traffic was
stopped.

condition is such that it has been thought
best not to inform her.

Two Automobiles Hired.
The police have learned that two
automobiles were hired by Rose Mon
day night. The first was a red car.
and, 1t is said, It was engaged al the
garage Of the Imperial Taxicab Com
pany. at No. 20 and 81 Cd street.

others were in the car until IL O'Clock
at night when tire blew out In from;
OF Sharkey's. Then Shapiro's car was
called into use.
Information was refused inqulrers at
the garage yesterday afternoon.
I'VE keep our mouths shut here"
said one OF the chauffeurs. IF We
knew anything we wouldn't tell. You.
got to see the manager, Aaron Asen
He's at Coney Island"
The son OF the manager was more
communicative when he reached the
garage last night. He spoke to three
chauffeurs who were present, and none
OF them had heard OF Jack" Rose hir-
Ing any OF the cars Of the Imperial
Company last Monday night.
Rose has been a patron Of the
place" said young Asen, but he hasn't
hired a car from us, to my knowledge,
In more than two weeks"
Asked II any Of the cars had blow
outs on Monday night. he replied that
three cars had blowouts.
After Rose had left Headquarters
yesterday Lieutenant Becker said he
was sure that Rose had not put up the
81, 500 for the mortgage on the furnish
ings Of his house In West 45th street.
He denied absolutely that Rose could
have acted as his agent in any way in
the matter.
As far as | can learn" he said and
/ have been working on IL good and
hard that $500 was put up By Harry
Pollok, or his friend Pat Powers. The
reason | am sure that Jack Rose did
not supply the money is that he had Il
lot OF heavy judgments hanging over
him at the time. This would also be a
reason why he did not want his name
to appear In the mortgage" Baker
said that he believed he was the vie
tim OF conspiracy OF East Side gam
blers who were trying TO do him. He
said that they might succeed, but thar
he knew that his conscience was clear.
District Attorney Whitman was asked
last night about the report that he had
hired the Burns Detective Agency to
assist him, in the investigation of the
Rosentha case.
III l had | would not be likely to
make the fact public" was his reply.

him."
Dougherty did not answer this, save
to smile In way that was taken to
Indicate that Rose did tell him.
Rose" said the Commissioner, told
us many things that we knew. He
seemed to be good at telling US things
we already knew. He told us, for in

WindfalI for Police.
The unexpected appearance OF Rose
on the scene yesterday was considered
the most important development in the
case so far. He showed up at Head
quarters a little after . o'clock, and at
once made his way TO Deputy Police
Commissioner DOugherty's Office.
His advent was somewhat OF sur
prise. Only the night before Dougherty
told the reporters that he did not want
TO meet Rose, as he knew Of no charge
to be lodged against him. After Rose
was on his way to District Attorney
Whitman's office. Dougherty said he
had sent out word yesterday that he
wanted to see Rose.
II told Sam Paul and 'Bridgey' Web
Der yesterday afternoon that II they
ran across Rose to tell him TO come
here and see me-" said Dougherty.
But the rumor at Headquarters was
that Rose was rounded up during the
night by Lieutenant Becker, after
Mayor Gaynor passed the word that
Becker must produce him. Becker's
absence from his home last night,
which caused the report to circulate
that he had committed suicide, was
due to his search for Rose.
did Rose lmplicate Lieutenant
Becker" Dougherty was asked.

did he clear Becker"
We'll, did not have a very long talk
with him, and everything hasn't bcen

Innocent, Says Lawyer.

Levy said that Libby and Shapiro
supplemented their story OF the day
before in regard to Jack Rose and
q man known as "Itzky" as having
been in the car by adding the names
OF some of the other occupants. Levy
said that they were willing to tell
the District Attorney these names.
He said Shapiro declared positively
that the car was nowhere In the vicin-
ity Of Lieutenant Becker's house, at
Edgecombe avenue and 185th street, on
Monday night. Levy said that the
chauffeur made a significant statement
Yesterday in regard to the possibilities
OF police relations with the crime.
Shapiro told me that after the
shooting he was tinkering over his
motor and pretending not to start"
said Levy, when one OF the party said
to him: Don't stall that engine. You
had better get started, and be damned
quick about it, Shapiro hesitated and
The same man said to him: Go on.
YOU damn fool: get started DON'T you
know that all the cops are fixed and no
one will bother us? It's clean get
away"
According TO Shapiro's account Of the
automobile trip, Rose was not In the
car at the time Of the shooting. After
the car came back from The Bronx II
drove to "Bridgey" webber's place,
Rose went in. the chauffeur said. Two
men came out OF Webber's and got into
the car. Rose was with them, but he
did not Join the party in the car. He
walked away on the avenue toward
43d street. Shapiro said. Rose told the
District Attorney yesterday that he

Were you anywhere in that neigh
borhood around midnight Monday" he
was asked.
Let it go at that" was Glennons
reply. I'm going out Of town tonight
and haven't time to talk now"
Glennon said he would return TO the
city tomorrow. He denied fatty that
he owned any interest In the property
at No. 153 West 4Sth street. District
Attorney Whitman said that he intend
cd TO subpoena Glennon and question
him about the matter.
Two Bronx Passengers.
Mr. Whitman said last night that the
address OF the saloon IN The Bronx
where the Libby car stopped to pick up
two passengers before il came down
town to the Metropole was in the
neighborhood OF l40th street and Third
avenue. The New Polo a. c., a resort
with which the police have had con-
siderable trouble, is in that vicinity. 1t
Is said that several members Of that
club have been arrested on charges Of
burglary. The District Attorney said
that Rose told him that he had taken
the car up there to sec n relative.
Aaron Levy, counsel for the two
automobile men. Louis Libby and Will
lam Shapiro In the Tombs, had long
conference With the District Attorney
yesterday, after which he said he Of

Levy said nc had urged his clients 10
tell all they knew about the shooting
and II the state accepted them as wit
nesscs they would do all In their power
20 help the District Attorney bring the
men who killed Rosenthal to justice.
Levy complained to the District At
torney that he had not been able TO

Of time alone since they had been in
the Tonbs.

the whole matter with them yet, To-
morrow I shall exercise my right to

ers to come to his office, as he said
he would do, SO that can talk with
them out Of the range Of the ears Of
any one else"
Mr.. Levy said his clients had not
given to the police the names Of the
men who were in the Libby car be-
fore and after the murder The names
secured by the police might be right
or wrong, but his clients had not fur
nished them. he said. The changes
OF passengers and the conversations
in the car were known to Shapiro, he
said, and Libby had certain corrobora-
tive evidence which would be very
necessary to the case.

Levy, but they themselves were in
