New York, July 29:-When Coro-
ner Feinberg, sitting as a magis-
trate, resumed his inquiry today into
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, it
was expected that he would require
the police to uncover just enough
evidence against the men accused to
warrant holding them without bail
until the inquest set for August 15.
The cases against Harry Vallon,
John Rose, Frank Cirosici, better
known as Louis Libby, and William
Shapiro were scheduled to be heard
first, while Sam Paul and Jack Sulli-
van were to be given individual
hearings. Their attorney declared
that they would apply habeas corpus
writs if proof against their clients
was not forthcoming.
AS soon as the first cases were
called before Coroner Feinberg he
adjourned until 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon, and announced that all
the cases would b. consolidated.
District Attorney Whitman stated
that he expected to call Police Lieu
tenant Becker before the grand jury
tomorrow, and that he would re-
uuire a whole day to tell his story.
Whitman explained that he intended
making a long statement to the jury
before he called Becker, but he de-
clined to indicate the nature Of it.
The policemen on duty at headquar-
ters today were ordered by Commits
sioner Waldo to keep all newspaper
men out of the corridor of the build
ing. This action was taken, accord
ing to the commissioner, because
attempt has been made to keep tract
of his callers and visitors to the de-
tective bureau, among whom were
all of the men under arrest for the
murder, who, with a single exception
surrendered voluntarily.
There Is positive ground for the
statement that District Attorney Whit
man believes the preliminary reports
received from w. ]. Burns agents
that the police have only a muddled
and confused condition Of the cir
cumstances Of the killing and OF the
retreat of the assassins. Before MI.
Whitman left for New England on
Saturday he stated he had just heard
from Manager Dixon of Mr.. Burns
office. He added that there wal now
reason to believe that some Of the
murderers did not escape In the gray
car driven by Shapiro.
Lost $4,000 In Gambling House.
The quiet work Of the Burns detec-
tives has indicated that the FIVE gang
men who pistoled Rosenthal were at
Far Rockaway until a few days ago,
that they received daily news of the
hue and cry while they gayly flung
upon the roulette table the proceeds Of
their crime and that when play and
hard drinking had emptied their peck
cts they sneaked n by one back to
town and went into hiding.
How much Of this if any is known to
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty has
not escaped from that official. But
Nh. Dougberty spent much time driv-
ing his fast red car along the beaches
and questioning men who are from old
Pinkerton knowledge confdants and
go-betweens for the criminals who
drift between Manhattan and the sea
shore. The story that proceeds from
the Burns inquiry places a new name
on the list Of the assassins-"Kitty
Second" a rascal Of east side haunts,
one down in the police books as a pick
pocket and devoted also to satchel
thieving, hotel proving and whatever
cunning crlminality would fill his peck
cts.
Names of Murderers Known.
The James of the others whom
Dougherty has advertised as the actua
murderers are Clip the Blood, White,
Lewis, Dago Frank and Lefty Loui'
The information Of the district attol
ney is that Lefty Louie, Whitley Levi
and Clip the Blood were the three tina
crept close to Rosenthpl when he al
peared unsuspectingly OF the threshold
of the Metropole and fired the shots
while Kitty Second and Dago Frank
fankcd the murderers with drawn PTS
tolls to shoot any one who interfered
with the killing.
