denshner was given immediate burial in
Long Island cemetery. Emotional
thousands Of the East Side fell in behind
this cortege and followed it for blocks
from an undertakers establishment to
the entrance Of the Williamsburg bridge,
over which the hearse and six carriages
passed on the way to the grave. At the
bridge the throng halted and there they
waited until long after nightfall, not
crediting the information given by the
police that none of the other funerals
was to be held yesterday.
Ruse Disperses Crowd.
In front of the homes or undertaking
establishments to which the other bodies
were conveyed hundreds of curious per-
sons gathered. The body of "Gyp the
Blood Harry Horowitz. was placed in
the home of a Harlem church sexton and
police reserves were called to prevent
people from entering and viewing the
body. The sexton resorted to a ruse to
get rid Of the crowd He had a hearse
back up to the door and into 1t an empty
coffin was placed and driven away Many

Warden Issues Statement.

Warden Clancy arrived in this city yes
terday afternoon and after conference
with Supt Riley and Gov. Glynn gave
out the following statement. which con-
tains Cirofci's confession:
About 8 o'clock Sunday night Rosen-
berg asked me to save Frank, saying he
had nothing to do with the shooting and
that he was not there. 1 went over and
asked Frank why he did not tell the
truth. He replied that he knew what
was going on. but was not there when
the shooting took place. I advised him
to tell the whole story. He said II he did
they would kill his brother. I asked
whom he meant by they He replied
that there were fifty men in New York
he could name. I don't care about my
self, it's my family I care for, he said.
II caused Frank Cirofici to be brought
from the condemned cell house to the
principal keepers office about O'Clock
Monday morning. He made the follow
ing, among other statements, in the
presence of myself, Principal Keeper Nc
Inerny, the chaplain. his mother and sis
ter. They urged him to tell the whole
truth.
He hesitated and said. I don't want
to make any statement for the public.
do not fear for myself, but 1 do fear
for you
His sister replied, Don't have any
selves. God will protect u.s. His mother
and sister continued to urge him to tell
the truth.
No Hand in Shooting.
He said, I did not do the shooting
The men who fired the shots were
'Gyp,' Louie and vallon. I was five
miles away at the time So far as I
knew, Becker had nothing to do with
| this case. 1t was a gamblers fight. He
mentioned several raids on gambling
houses. and said the story told to Com
missioner Dougherty was true.

prove an alibi for the rest of the boys

versation with Rose in the car on the
way downtown was not true. I was in

ments were made. I did not know just
what the arrangements were. I knew
something was coming off, did not
see Louie pack the truck. as 1 testified
on the stand. There were guns there,
