The report OF District Attorney Whit

which has just been completed by Theron
r. Strong. the Assistant District Attor-
ney at the head OF the bureau, shows a
remarkable record. There were thirteen
convictions for murder in the first de-
gree, more than twice as many as in any
year during the last decade OF fifty
homicide cases which came into court,
fortythree resulted In convictions
For the first time i'm the history of the
county four men charged with murder
were put on trial together. They were
the four gunner who We're convicted of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Nine
men We're convicted for three murders
1t is the belief of District Attorney Whit
man and Mr. Strong that the basis OF the
successful homicide prosecutions was laid
by the careful preparation of cases by the
homicide bureau.
IN all. there were .T9 deaths reported
to the homicide bureau during the last
twelve months. That number includes
many cases where il was found that no
crime had been committed, and many
more where there was no defendant,
either because he was not found by the
police or because ne committed suicide
