WHITMAN EXPECTS TO
SEE "GYP' AND LEFTY"
Fugitive Gunner Will Appear
This Week as Witnesses for
Becker, Prosecutor Thinks.
TO UPHOLD FEUD DEFENCE
They Have Never Been Far
Away, 1t Is Suspected
Gambler Prisoners Show
Signs of Weakening.

1t would not surprise District Attorney
Whitman if Lefty Louie Rosenzweig
and "Gyp" the Blood Harry Horowitz)'
the two missing gunner charged with the
murder Of Herman Rosenthal, put in an
appearance early this week, prior 10 the
ial Of Lieutenant Charles Becker. the
District Attorney said last night that ne
had information that "Gyp" and Lefty
were likely to be produced" as witnesses
TO. support the plan Of defence OF Becker
and the other defendants who are charged
with the actual shooting.
The plan Of the gunner defendants-as
has been limited at before, but of which
the District Attorney now feels convinced
is TO shift the blame for the actual kill
ing OF Rosenthal on Harry Valinsky. or
Vallon, who is one OF the four important
witnesses for the state now in the West
Side court prison. "Gyp" the Blood and
Lefty" Louie are expected to appear and
testify that WALTON was the man who fired
the fatal shot. Whitley Jack" Lewis and
"Dago Frank" Ciroici the two gunmea
under arrest and in the Tombs. charged
with the murder. will support their pals
in attempting 10 put IL on" WALTON. it is
understood.
District Attorney Whitman has said all
along he believed that friends Of Becker
and certain police officials knew where 10
find Lefty" and "Gyp," and that the
two fugitive gupmen were being protected
and kept beyond the reach OF the Dis
trict Attorneys detectives until the de-
fence might need them at the trial. The
District Attorney declared that he be-
lleved Horowitz and Rosenzweig would
be surrendered" rather than apprehend-
ed. The public prosecutor has an idea
that. the two fugitives have never been
far away from the city, but have been
well hidden and cared for in some secure
retreat

Try to Strengthen Nerve.

District Attorney Whitman has had
several talks with Rose and his fellow
prisoners recently TO strengthen their
courage as witnesses and TO assure them
Of the protection of the authorities after
they have testified at the coming trials
Upon all these occasions the four men
have declared that they intended 10 stick
to their guns. and make clean breast
OF everything In court, as they have
done in their formal statements 10 the
District Attorney. Every means will be
employed, however. 10 keep up the nerve
OF these witnesses when they appear at
Becker's trial
A plan is on foot which may be of as
sistance toward this end, II was learned
Yesterday. 1t is likely that Arthur
Reed, the prison preacher, and CO.
worker in the local mission field, both Of
whom have come into almost daily con-
tact with the four witnesses in the West
Side court prison since they were trans
ferred there from the Tombs, several
weeks ago. will be present in court when
Rose and the others offer their testi-
mony 1t is believed that the presence
OF the minister and his assistant in court
will have a good moral effect on the four
men. whom they have come TO know
rather intimately. and help the witnesses
to cling unswervingly to the truth.
Mr.. Reed, who lives at No. 800 West
goth street has done missionary work
in the various prisons about the city
and elsewhere for a long time. He said
yesterday that he had talked with Rose
and others frequently and at length, and
felt that the four men would tell the
whole truth when they testified. Mr..
Reed was instrumental, through Bald
Jack" Rose. In directing the attention OF
the District Attorney to the new eye
witness OF the Rosenthal shooting on
Thursday who was reported to be a SAL

Yesterday that the girl had never been
connected with the Salvation Army, A
statement TO that effect also was issued
from Salvation Army headquarters. In

Bears Out Feud Theory.

Despite the denial recently of Bscker's
counsel that the defence had any knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of Lefty" and
"Gyp" the Blood and intended TO use them
as witnesses when the time came for
Becker TO be tried. their appearance at
the psychological moment as il were
would seem TO be compatible with Beck
er's defence. az previously outlined by his
lawyers. that Rosenthal was killed as the
result Of a gang fued, OF which Becker
had no knowledge, and that WALTON was
the only man who did any shooting.
The story as told at that time was that
the four gunner who rode TO the Hotel
Metropole in the big gray touring car
were not on a murderous errand. Rosen-
thai had been offered $1,000 TO go to
Canada for a year-beyond the reach Of
subpena-but had raised his price TO
81, 600 and refused TO leave town for any
/ less. The gamblers, who saw their bust
ness going TO ruin by his disclosures had
raised the fund 10 send him away. When
he held out for more money IL was de-
cided 10 kidnap him, il was said. and the
four members OF Big Jack" Zelig's gang
the shooting were sent 10 capture the
talkstive gambler on the night he was
shot, and 10 carry out the plan without
doing him fatal injury.
WALTON was with them on the night Of
the shooting. according TO the testimony
which the four gunner are expected to
give, and had been drinking hard. When
he saw Rosenthal come out OF the hotel
his hatred for the "squeaier" drove him
to a drunken frenzy, the others are ex-
pected TO swear. and he shot down the
gambler before they could stop him

WarmeSt December

The month just passed has, in many
ways. been the most remarkable De-
cember in the history of the Weather
Bureau for Al years. Never before,
has there been December with so
many warm days. Some Of them were
like summer and there were only two
days when the weather was really cold
that is. below the freezing point.
The highest temperature was on De-
cember u, when the thermometer
reached 81 degrees. For two weeks the
weather was fairly warm and it was
not until December q and 2s that the
mercury dropped below the freezing
point The normal temperature for the
month. taken from IL years record, is
81 degrees. The average made last
month was ~ degrees. which is consid-
cred very high.
The month also distinguishes itself for
rainfall slightly above the normal. In
the 81 days the rain amounted to nearly
four inches. There we're but 3 clear
days: the other % were cloudy or partly
cloudy. The percentage Of sunshine
was small.
