History of Crime for Which
Four Gunner Died in Char

The last evenue of hope for the
four gunner was closed SIX days be-
fore their execution when Governor
Glynn refused to grant a stay, pend
ing the second trial of Lieutenant
Charles Becker, who was convicted in
the lower courts of having plotted
the murder of Herman Rosenthal to
prevent him from making graft rele-
lations to District Attorney Whit
man. The Court of Appeals, in re-
versing the decision for Becker, de-
clared itself unconvinced that he had
directed the murder, but upheld the
judgment of the lower court that the
four gunner had been the instru-
ments. Motions for new trial, on
the ground of new evidence, made
by their attorney, were denied, and
they were sentenced to die during
the week beginning April 10.
-Four days before their execution a
delegation of New York rabbis visited
Governor Glyhn and pleaded in vain
with him to postpone the execution
until after the second trial of Becker
The Governor remained fixed in the
opinion that he had already expressed
that Becker's guilt or innocence
could in no way affect the guilt of the
gunner who had been judged guilty
ny lWO COuTJS.
Crime Led to Police Reform.
The real names of the men who
been known as "Gyp the Blood"
Lefty Louie,'' "Dago Frank" and
Whitley Lewis" were Harry Horo-
witz, Louis Rosenberg. Frank Giro
fict and Frank Seidenshue. The
youngest, Lefty Louie, was twenty
one; the oldest, Dago Frank, twenty
seven. All were Jews except Dago
Frank. AS the nickname implies he
was an Italian. Gyp the Blood and
Lefty Louie were married. Their
young widows survive them.
Not only during the trial but in
statements given out at Sing Sing
three of the gunner persisted In the
declaration that Dago Frank had not
been present at the time of the muir
der, and was not In any way con-
cerned in the plot to murder Rosen-
thai. During their stay in the death
house all four maintained an attitude
of martyrlike innocence tempered
with an optimism growing out of

their belief that their fate hinged
upon Becker's, and that If he were
not guilty they must be set free. The
news crushing hopes of this nature
as announced by the warden was re-
ceived with stoical calmness.
The crime for which the four gun
men paid the death penalty started a
wave of police reform, from which
the -ripples have not yet subsidized.
Throughout the revelations made at
the time and subsequently, stalked
the vague, sinister monster known as
the police system"
Becker Arrested.
Rosenthal was shot down early on
the morning of July 16, 1912, in front
of the Hotel Metropole in the heart
of the Tenderloin. On receiving an
announcement from man who came
into the hotel he walked out and fell
dead before a fusillade of bullets
The murderers leaped into an auto
mobile and escaped. Weeks later,
after Becker had been arrested, the
gunner were found in a fiat in
Brooklyn.
Their conviction and Becker's were
based chiefly on the testimony Of
three 60 betweens, who turned States
6NlQ6lCt. h0SG ieOSSi
Bridgey Webber and Harry vallon-
declared that they had hired the gun
men to kill the gambler. Rosenthal,
at Becker's request.
Sam Schepps. little gambler cor
roborated their testimony and was
not adjudged an acomplice.
Becker was a police lieutenant in
charge of the STRONG arm squad"
whose duties were to keep in subjec-
ton the gangs of the city and to
regulate gambling houses and places
of ill-fame. Rose. Webber and VAL
lon said that Becker had made use
of his position to collect money from
these houses. Rosenthal, according
to these same witnesses, having a
grievance against Becker. was about
to give evidence against Becker to
the district attorney.
Becker was arrested July 80, 1872
but nearly two months elapsed be-
fore the apprehension of the gunner.
Their trial before Justice Golf marked
record of speed in criminal pro-
cedure.

that he never finished was on his lirs

sought to soothe him.
A current of 1920 volts with a
slightly higher amperage than had
been used on Cirohci, took his life.

at 5:52.
Lefty Louie Last to Die.
At $3.50 "Gyp the Blood was
brought IN. He had a Jewish prayer
book in his left hand and Rabi Gold
stein walked by his side. Listen,
Israel. There is only one God,' num-
bIed Gyp in Hebrew.
Two shocks were given and at 500
o'clock physicians pronounced the
man dead.

waiting, entered the chamber at 6:07.

that the strongest shall die last

Bodies Claimed by Relatives.
All the bodies Of the gunner will
be claimed by relatives.
Mrs. Cirofici remained with her son
as late as q. m. This Is an unusu al
procedure. She had thought until the
last moment that on her sons plea
for mercy the governor would grant

Innocence to the end. She pleaded
with Frank in Italian to confess; but
he said he had told all he knew, and
that he had not been present when
Herman Rosenthal was killed.

said, were missing.
Later Warden Clancy, making an

rumor of dynamo tamperlng was
ridiculous and said it had originated

working order.
