Blood" and Lefty Louie" the miss
ing gunmen indicted as two of the
actual slayers of Herman Rosenthal,
the gambler, were found by the poll
ce tonight living with their wives in
a fiat in the Brownsville section Of
Brooklyn. They were arrested by
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough
erty and a squad of detectives, who
| brought them to police headquarters
and locked them up. They will be
| arraigned Monday.
The two men had been occupying
| the fiat since August Is, and were
alone until last Tuesday, when they
were joined by their wives, through
| whom clues to their whereabouts
| were obtained by the police.
The four were sitting at tea when
| Deputy Commissioner Daugherty and
his men burst open the door of their
apartment and with revolvers drawn
| ordered them to hold up their hands.
| Neither of the men made any show of
resistance
Drop your guns. You've got us, .
said "Gyp the Blood calmly.
"Give us a little time to get dress
ed, will you?" said "Leftie,' with
equal composure.
Scarcely another remark was made
| to the police by either man until they
| were examined at police headquar-
ters later by Assistant District Attor-
| ney Moss, acting for District Attorn-
ey Whitman, who has gone to Hot
| Springs to take testimony of persons
who talked to Sam Schepps, witness
in the case.
| The women, however, made a
scene, throwing their arms around
their husbands necks and shedding
copious tears. They had to be torn
away from the men before the police
could get their prisoners out of the
apartment, and we're later brought
to headquarters.
How Men Were Caught.
With the arrest of "Gyp" and
"Leftie," whose real names are Harry
Horowitz and Louis Rosensweig, all
of the seven men accused of the MUIR
| der of Rosenthal, of which Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker is the al
legged instigator, are now in custody.
The capture of the two men came as
a result of what is regarded in police
! circles as the best detective work
! done in the history of the depart
ment. 1t was the fruit of unbroken
surveillance of the wives and rela-
tives of the men since their disap-
| pearance on the day of the murder,
July 16. This surveillance was main
tanned by 60 detectives, working in
relays, who kept Deputy Commits
sioner Dougherty constantly in touch
with what they did and where they
went.
| The final clue came as the result OF
piecing together a number of CONVEX
sations overheard by detectives and
reported to the commissioner at diff
ferent times. The first conversation
was that they are not lonesome, be-
cause they can see a moving picture
show from their back windows"
Another conversation gave the in
| formation that there was q laundry
| in the house, where the missing men
lived, which was named either the
| New Brighton" the bright" or
the Brighton Hand Laundry" A
third conversation supplied the fact
that the neighborhood "was full of
Swedes and Germans"
Search for the Laundry.
It then became Commissioner
Dougherty's task to discover some
where a hand laundry in proximity
to moving picture show in vicin-
ity inhabited by foreigners of the ma
tionalities named. The possible name
of the laundry was obtained less than
two days ago, and the commissioner
discovered that there\ were half a
dozen laundries of similar names in
New York city and many more in 9TH
er cities for the commissioner did not
assume that the gunner were neces-
sarily located in New York.
when we found the laundry with
a moving picture show close by, there
were no Swedes or Germans in the
neighborhood," said Mr.. Dougherty
tonight. when we found laundry
with the foreigners in the neighbor-
hood, there was no moving picture
show. One of our laundry clues took
us to New Haven and we were just
about to investigate another in Pitts
burg"
