brought into the case as suspected
principals.
There began u countrywide search
for the four gunmen and Sam
Schcpps, u hangeron Of the gamblers
who had arranged the murder.
"Dago Frank" stupid with opium,
was found in Harlem on July 25, the
day Alderman Curran demanded a
special police investigation.
Mr.. Whitman strengthened the case
against Rose. Weber and Vallon un-
til they turned States evidence and
named Becker as the prime instigator
of the crime. Becker was thrown into
the Tombs without bail.
Rose also named the four actual
murderers of Rosenthal. They were
members OF big Jack Zo... :" east
side gang. an organization which poll
ticians had often found useful. Rose
had hired them through Zelig. Rose
told Of telephoning Becker few min
utes after the murder and saying:
Good, God, this is terrible" Don't
worry, I'll protect yOu," he declared
Becker replied easily. Rose also ex-
posed New YOrk's police graft, which
he figured at $2,4OO,000 q year. He
said Becker, a civilian in the police
department and two inspectors handl-
ed this.
Whitley" Lewis fled to the Catskills
where he was arrested August q.
"Gyp'' and Lefty" were found hiding
in Glendale. Queens Borough. but
they said they had gone about the
city openly many times.
In the meantime Governor Dix had
appointed Justice Golf to try Becker
for murder. Sam Schepps had been
caught at Hot Springs, Ark, and
brought back to New York On Oc-
tober "a Becker was found guilty. Two
weeks before big Jack" Zelig had
been murdered in a street car. His
death may have been an outcome OF
the ROsenthal case.
The four gunmen came to trial No
vember 8. They elected to be tried
together. Eleven days later the jury,
after only a short deliberation found
them guilty.
They were taken to Sing Sing and
lodged in the death house whittier
Becker had preceded them. All five
cases were carefully argued on ap-
peal. The highest court in the State
found that Becker was emitted to a
new trial but the four gunmen had
been justly convicted.
A few weeks later the four gunmen
gave out a long appeal to the public
in which they said they could not um-
derstand why the evidence that failed
to convict Becker should have con-
victod thon. their wives and ~cla \
'ives were pitltul figures IN their

The four products of the Manhat-
tan East Side who paid the penalty of
their crime today were convicted on
November 10. 1912. OF firing the shots
which killed Herman ROsenthal as he
stepped from the Hotel Metropole into
Foi;y third Street, just off Broadway.
Rosenthal had caused the gambling
world Of the metropolis to quake
with terror by his conference with Dis
t-'ct Attorney Charles :. Whitman.
HIS promised confessions were a sequel
20 Il gambling war IN which the other
underworld Interests had tried 20 drive
MIN from the fat teid Of the upper
Tenderloin. Bomb outrages. slayings
and assaults had marked this con-
fiict. Believing he was to be deserted
BY Charles Becker, police lieutenant
in charge Of a strong arm squad" and
a partner in the Rosenthal gambling
house. the desperate man was now
about to expose the whole illegal con-
spiracy of police and crime.
The gambler was sitting in the
Metropole about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing OF July l6. 1912. A man entered
and asked him to come outside.
Lurking in the shadows were "Bridg-
ey" Weber. Bald Jack" Rose and
Harry Vallon. Nearby stood q motor
car with engine running. The police
men supposed to be on station
nearby had been lured away
In tho glare of bright lights and
within 100 feet of Times Square four
young men shot Rosenthal to death
and leaped into the motor car. A
fifth man also entered, 1t was said by
some. and urged the driver onward
by holding revolver to his head and
striking him. The car disappeared in
the direction of Fifth Avenue. But so
sure we're the murderers that Charles
Becker would protect them, that they
loft the correct license number on the
murder car" and this was noted IS
man who happened to be witness
to the shooting.
The next day Now York was in a
turmoil. The District Attorney and
Becker were both on the scene long
before daybrcak. There were ugly ru-
mors OF police attempts to cover the
murdercr's trail. 1t was recalled that
Roscnthal was to tell u complete story
to Mr.. Whitman the very day OF his
death. The motive of the murder
could not have been more clear.
Not for several days were the names
Of the four put To death today men
