Morgan to Aid in Chase of Men Who Killed Rosenthal
AFTER "HIGHER-UP” POLICE
Gangster Implicated by Gossip
Surrenders Himself Volun
tarily to Police.
XEW YORK, July 23. —Just a week
B go today Herman Rosenthal, a gam
bler, who had charged the police with
levying tribute upon lawbreakers, was
s hot to death in front of the Metropole
hotel, but his actual slayers are still at
large, though a number of policemen
were only a short distance away at the
time. The belief is generally growing
that the actual assassins will never be
captured unless run down by private
endeavor.
That private help will be given Dis
trict Attorney Whitman became known
today- J- p - Montan and other mil
lionaires have pledged aid in running
down the slayers to preserve law.
There was another arrest in the case
today, but it was made only when a
man whom the police had confessed
themselves unable to find surrendered
himself. The latest prisoner is Harry
Vallon, who has been frequently men
tioned as a member of the gambling
coterie that Rosenthal had embittered
by his revelations.
Htjj jirove up to police headquarters
at 1 o’clock this morning and gave
his name to the lieutenant and was
escorted to the Mulberry street police
station. There he was booked as "Har
ry Vallon, 35 years old, clerk —suspi-
cious person.”
Whitman Hot After Police.
c-
District Attorney Whitman today said
when asked if he would permit any of
the Rosenthal murder conspirators to
escape by testifying before the grand
Jury:
"I will protect as far as my power
goes every man in this case If I can
get the evidence I want against police
men, evidence I know exists. I will let
Shapiro and Libby and Brldgie Webber
and Sam Paul and Jack Rose himself
ttim state’s witnesses if I can get the
police conspirators.
"There are bigger men than Becker
in this case, and I want them. What
has the police department, except
Dougherty, done? Nothing. They are
not doing anything now. Dougherty is
honest and on the level, but can he.
ewlng this thing alone?
"The murder smells of police conni
vance. For an hour before Rosenthal
was shot preparations were being made
in Forty-third street for the murder.
There were fifteen or sixteen men in It
at the very least. The street was kept
clear of taxicabs.
"Rosenthal was watched. The de
tails were worked out In plain sight.
Rut the police were blind. After the
killing there was plenty of time to get
the murderers. It was a leisurely job.
Rut the police did not hurry any. What
did the> do about getting evidence
then? Nothing. The only man they
held was young Gallagher, who gave
the correct automobile number after
half a dozen policemen had reported
incorrect numbers. And they locked
Gallagher up. In any other murder they
would have scurried around and ar
rested everybody in sight.
"Dougherty knows the police are
hack of It, and that it was to the ad
vantage of certain policemen that Ro
senthal be murdered.’’
Widow Before Grand Jury,
Shaking with sobs but nevertheless
declaring she would get revenge for the
death of her husband, the assassinated
gambler, Mrs. Lillian Rosenthal was
taken before the grand Jury today. She
was the confidante of her husband and
through her testimony District Attor
ney Whitman expects to obtain cor
roboration of the charges that the po
lice levied tribute on gambling.
Along this line he sought information
on the following:
The various dinner parties which she
attended together with Rosenthal, Lieu
tenant and Mrs. Becker and others.
Whether Jack Rose was placed in
Rosenthal's gambling house by Becker
to tally the receipts and see that he
received his full share of the profits.
The conversations she overheard and
those in which she participated between
Rosenthal and Becker and between
Rosenthal and others which had direct
bearing on the case.
The various warnings received from
Rose and others that unless Rosenthal
left town he would fe killed.
Telephone messages received from
Rose immediately before the tragedy in
which he Intimated that Rosenthal was
marked for death.
The raids on Rosenthal's gambling
houses and the insistence by Becker,
on one of these occasions, to look up
Rosenthal’s nephew, who was found in
the house but who was in no way con
nected with the gambling operations.
The debt owed by Rosenthal to Beck
er and the agreement which caused its
cancellation. *•

PEACE IN ATLANTA’S
BULL MOOSE CAMP;
DELEGATES NAMED
Grim-vlsaged war hath smoothed its
wrinkled front almost, anyway—in the
ranks of the Georgia “bull moose” party.
Atlanta bull moosers of various persua
sions -57 of them —met at the Aragon
hotel last night, and resolved; first, to quit
rowing among themselves; second, to go
after the common enemy.
To that end a number of gentlemen
present made ringing speeches eulogizing
Theodore Roosevelt, and predicting that
he surely will be elected president in No
vember.
Bernard Suttler called last night's
meeting to order and V. C. Terry was
elected chairman, and A. M. Crosby
secretary.. The gathering elected six
delegates to the forthcoming state con
vention of bull moosers in Atlartta, as
follows: C. AV. McClure, Robert L.
Rodgers, Victor C. Terry, Samuel J. Jones,
J. F. Race and Horace Grant.
The meeting resolved many more or
less Important things with respect to po
litical conditions, national and state, and
resolved particularly never to fraternize
with the negro.
Samuel .1. Jones and A. M. Crosby were
elected from the Fifth district to the na
tional bull moose convention in Chicago
next month.
GIRL IS GIVEN ONLY _ $10
AS BALM FOR HEART
CHICAGO, July 23fl The modest sum
of $l.O was all that Miss Konda Go
wacka asked as balm for a broken
heart when she filed a suit for breach
of promise against A<lam Zakwij. Ihe
man who was to have been her bus
band failed to appear on the day set for
the wedding, and, as Miss Gowacka had
spent a considerable sum as well as
devoted much of her to courting
previous to the wedding, she presented
a bill.
The $lO asked for one broken heart
on the bill, which in all amounted to
$751.50, was the last Item entered. The
other items included 92 days of court
ing at $5 each; a wedding supper which
had been ordered, SIOO, and a trous
seau, $175. She brought suit for SI,OOO,
but the Jury awarded her only the
amount of the itemized bill.

Sabatino ran amuck today in the town

were, and, shrieking in maniacal fury,
began firing at them with a revolver.
His brother ran into the room and was
immediately shot dead. Then the ma
niac's mother-in-law ran to the rescue
of her daughter and grandchildren and
was in turn shot down. The next vic
tim was the father of the demented
man, who was killed as soon as he en
tered the room. The wife and children
escaped the shots fired at them. Saba
tino reloaded his weapon and rushed
into the street, firing at every person he
saw. Four gendarmes finally sur
rounded him and ordered him to sur
render. His answer was to shoot one of
them dead and seriously wound anoth
er. . Thereupon the other two fired at
the maniac with their carbines and
killed him,
MOTHER. AGED 84, SPANKS
HER DAUGHTER. AGED 60
PHILADELPHIA. PA., July 23.—Mrs.
Margaret Armstrong, eighty-four years
old. was before Magistrate MacFarland
charged witli chastising Mrs. Marla
Dean, her daughter, sixty yqars old.

her around their home with a broom
and insist that if Mrs. Dean doesn't
like a spanking she should go and live
elsewhere. Mrs. Dean said the home
had been l< ft jointly t<* herself and her
mother.

mother to be more careful of the
manner in which she wielded the broom

WILL PROSECUTE
GIRL'S SHIPPERS
Lawyers Engaged to Push
Cases Against Dawson Men.
Essie Carter in Bad Shape.
MACON, GA., July 23.—Essie Car
ter, the young white woman who was
whipped at Dawson Saturday night by
a number of prominent men, is in a
very serious condition and the at
tending physicians and her friends are
alarmed. A high fever has developed,
but the possibility of blood poison is
the chief fear. The girl's body is so
swollen that site is in constant agony.
There is hardly an inch of flesh from
the neck down that is not cut and dis
colored and there is so much soreness
that she can not bear the touch of
either clothing or bandages.
Two Macon lawyers have been en
gaged to prosecute W. S. Dozier. Clyde
Dozier and Pope McClung, whom the
girl and her sister, Mary Carter, charge
with the whipping.
It Is probable that the proceedings
will also Implicate a dozen other men
who are declared to have witnessed the
occurrence. The girls say that only
W. S. Dozier, the father of A”. E. Dozier,
the 18-year-old boy who was Infatuated
with Essie Carter, plied the whip.
