 sunmen, so decided today when it re- l turned a verdict of murder in the | first degree after but twenty min
 utes of deiberation.
 The gunmen heard the verdict pro nounced against them without show of emotion. They stood at the bar | looking straight ahead as the fore man of the jury made known the re- suit of it's deliberations, and they continued to stare stolidly in front of them until the formalities of the proceedings were concluded.

 Wahle, counsel for the gunmen, an nounced that he would appeal from

 Meantime they will occupy cells near that of the former police lieutenant in
 the death house at Sing Sing. Although the jury was actually out of the court room an hour and five minutes, it was bur twenty minutes after their retirement that word reached the clerk of the court that they had arrived at a verdict This was at lunch and he did not return until three quarters of an hour later
 The final day of ne trial opened with Justice Goffs charge to the jury which occupied three hours Ths charge emphasized many points in the trial of the gun-men which. the prosecution in it's summingup, had declared were discrepancies fatal to the credibility of their stories.
 ''lf the defendants contention were true that Rose and his companions, Webber. vallon and Schepps shot Rosenthal, would he have invited them around to the Metropole hotel to the scene of the shooting?" Judge Golf asked the tiry.
 Did the defendants tell the truth when they said they saw Rosenthai shot and were near enough to dis tnguish the faces of those who did the shooting but did not see Rosen- thai fall? Was the testimony of the three defendants in support of the alibi of 'Dago Frank interposed by prearrangement?"
 "The verdict was a just one and will meet with the approval of all right thinking citizens" said District At torney Whitman tonight. "It means the beginning of the end of gang-rule' in New York city. From now on, this office will push the case of every man arrested as being a gaRgster. They will receive no mercy, and the public opinion that has been aroused by the killiGg of Herman Rosenthal, will sup port the prosecuting officer"
