History OF the Case.

Herman Rosenthal was mur-
dered at a. m. on the morning
OF July 16, 1912. He had been
furnishing District Attorney
Whitman with evidence of police
grating which connected Becker
with gamblers. He had been
several times warned to "hold his
tongue" While dining at the
Metropole located just off Broad
way on West 42nd street, he was
called to the pavement by a man
never identified. AS he stepped
to the curb he was shot through
the brain. The murderers calm
ly walked to a waiting automobile
and rode off toward Fifth ave-
nue.. A policeman recorded
fictitious number of the car A
bystander who had witnessed the
shooting, took the license num-
ber. and was arrested when he
gave 1t to the police of 47th
street station. Only the fact that
District Atty. Whitman got out
of bed to assume personal charge
OF the case. saved this man and
the member of the car number to
the prosecution. 1t was this
slender thread of evidence from
which Whitman traced the real
slayers. and built up his case.
1t was subsequently learned
that Becker had received word
of the shooting of Jack Rose,
Becker's stool pigeon, by phone.
and that the police lieutenant i'm
mediately rushed from his apart
ments uptown to reassure the
men who had engineered the
shooting 1t was also learned
that Becker. in an automobile,
had passed the Metropole a few
minutes before Rosenthal was
killed.
