windows of this once prosperous little
hostelry Shortly after the Rosenthal
killing the Metropole was forced to close
its doors through lack of patronage. The
proprietor sold out. After a few months
the name was changed to the Hotel
Miller and the place reopened. but its
new career was short lived. For about
two years the old Metropole has been
closed up.
Cadillac Was Injured.
Next door to the Metropole was the
Hotel Cadillac. one of the most popular
Broadway hotels. much frequented by
theatrical folk. In the course of the long
investigation into the Rosenthal shoot
ing the name of the Cadillac was men
toned many times, many witnesses to
the slaughter and the escape of the
long, gray murder car having been in
that hotel. As a result the Cadillac lost
great amount of business About that
time the name of the place was changed
to the Hotel Wallick. The owners did
not admit that the Rosenthal murder
caused the change. but suffice 1t that
the name Cadillac is now little remem-
bered along Broadway and the Wallick
is as popular as ever the Cadillac was
At Fiftfeth street, just off Broadway
is the Garden Restaurant. now a notori-
Gus night resort. Few uptown New York
ers now know the Garden. At the time
of the murder it had just been remodeled
and was one of the most popular of the
lobster places, frequented by after
theater parties. But in the Rosenthal in
vestigation Rose said that the gunner
were prepared to get" Rosenthal in the
Garden a few nights before the killing.

The slayers were scared off by the sight

that revelation the Garden has been
transformed from leading restaurant
to a cabaret resort patronized mainly by
the denizens of the Tenderloin.
Thus has the trail OF the serpent
ranged up and down Broadway. along

Trail of the Serpent in the Rosentha Murder
Case May Lead Further, Authorities Believe
Mrs. Becker Widow of Executed Police Lieutenant Has Said She Will Bring Justice
MEN Higher Up Who Sacrificed Husbandsh Revelations Thought
likely Result Of Present Fud Between Police and Gamblers.

they put through for Becker the deal
whereby the gunner murdered Rosen-
thai, are still alive. They are immune
from prosecution for their part in the
killing by reason of their bargain with
Gov. Whitman. then district attorney Of
New York County. but they are ex-
tremely unpopular with the police and
with other gamblers. At present the
quartet make it their business to keep
out of New York State or at least I'M
der cover when they are here, but it
would not surprise those familiar with
the doings of the East Side and the
Great White Way to wake up some
morning and learn from the newspa-
pers that something had happened to

way of the transgressor may be hard.
but 1t is as a bed of roses without
thorns compared to the bed of the
'squealer" in New York's underworld.
New Feud with Gamblers.
There now is on another feud between
the Sixth avenue gamblers and the po-
lice department. The proprietors of a
wide-open resort on that thoroughfare
boosted. just as Rosenthal boosted. that
they had protection. Enraged that such
a hue and cry should arise while the
execution of Becker brought the whole
Lieut.. Honest Dan" Costigan raided
the place and arrested the keepers. That
has started another row among the
gamblers and it would not be strange,
If. out of the mix-up should come some
fresh revelations regarding the killing
of Rosenthal and the causes that led up
to it.
In these various ways can the trail of
the serpent be perpetuated and when
one looks back over the lurid criminal
annals of the Greater City, 1t should
cause no surprise II the trail of the
Becker serpent winds in and out of the
by-ways contiguous to Broadway and
the East Side for a considerable time to
come.
But the trail of this serpent. the stigma
of the Rosenthal murder early on the
morning of July 16. 1912. has not stopped
with besmirching individuals and caus-
ing legal executions. 1t has ruined BUSH
