KILLER OF KID DROPPER''
 GETS 20 YEARS TO LIFE
Louis Cohen, New York Gangster, Found Guilty of Second
 Degree Murder

New York, Dec 15.-Louis Cohen today was convicted of second degree murder in connection with the shoot ing of Nathan Kaplan, known to east side gangsters as Kid Dropper," in a taxi in front of the Essex Market court last August. The jury was out IS hours.
 Judge Talley of general sessions, on receiving the verdict. declared it would serve as an encoura cement to gangsters and that verdict of first degre murder should have been found, as the case was one of the most cold blooded in the city's history.
 Cohen immediately was sentenced to 20 years to life.
 It was reported that throughout the night the jury stood nine for first de- gre murder and three for manslaugh- ter in the first degree. They finally comprised on the second degree yer dict.
 Cohen took the verdict calmly, drumming on the bar with his fingers. He wore half smile.
 Cohen killed Kaplan while police were escorting "The Dropper" from court where he had been released af- ter roundup of his gang.
 Tt was case of his life or mine," the 22-year-old youth pleaded in de- iense. Kaplan had threatened to kill him unless he organized q strike of laundry workers, and also to "get" him for "squealing," he declared, and when he saw the gangster go free, he determined to take the law in his own hands,
 If the verdict had been in accord ance with the evidence, you would stand here convicted of first degree murder which would mean death in the electric chair" Judge Talley told Cohen.
 You were trying 10 take a short cut to fame. You wanted to make someone else support you on tho repu- tation you would get as the killer of Jack the Dropper."
