IGIN6STEHS, suhof GAMBLER, IM New York Prosecutor Is Now Nearly at Bottom of Herman Rosenthal Case. ANOTHER OF ACCUSED IS CAPTURED IN CITY Confessing Chauffeur Further Implicates Police in Story to District Attorney. NEW YORK, July 26.—With another of the alleged assassins of Herman Ro senthal, the gambler who gave infor mation concerning police grafters, in custody and sufficient evidence secured to obtain indictments for murder against four men, District Attorney Whitman declared today that he had made a long stride toward getting at the bottom of the crime. The latest suspect captured is “Dago Frank,” one of the men who rode in the “murder car" to the scene of the assassination. The fact that he was arrested in the city is taken as proving the truth of the charge that nearly all of the “hunt ed” men are still in New York. “Dago Frank.” who has a record as a burglar and has used many aliases, when he was locked up said his name was Frank Clrosici. He was arrested at 523 tVest 134th street. He is de clared by the police to be one of the actual assassins. The arrest was made by Detectives Vpton. Cassa, McKenna and McManus, who had been sent to look up Cirosici. With him they arrested Rosie Harris, also known as Regina Gordon, and Abraham Lewis, or “Fat Abie,” as his Intimates knew him. They were held as material witnesses. All three prisoners were under the influence of opium when arrested, ac cording to Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, who questioned them until early this morning before giving out their names. Stories of Prisoners Fail tn Agree. Only the Harris woman was able, Dougherty said, to give a clear account of her movements on the night Rosen thal was murdered. She attempted to establish an alibi for “Dago Frank” by stating that she saw him about the time Rosenthal was murdered, but the accused man denied this and Insisted that he was out of town. Deputy Police Commissioner Dough prty and Inspector Hughes later gave out a statement, in which they said: “Cirosici is charged with complicity in the murder of Herman Rosenthal. The two others are held as material witnesses. Cirosici will be confronted with William Shapiro and other wit nesses of the shooting of Rosenthal that he may be identified as the man known as 'Dago Frank’ who is wanted f t the murder along with Harry Horo "itz, Lefty Louis.’ alias Louis Rosen berg, and ‘Whitey Jack’ Lewis, alias Frank Muller. cirosici admits that he knows and i s an associate of Horowitz. He denlet that he knows anything of the murder of Rosenthal, or where the other men are. Two satchels filled with clothes, as 'hough Cirosici intended to leave town right away, were found in the flat and brought to headquarters with the Prisoners.

He missed, and the apparition made a jump for the window, slashed out the screen with the sword and leaped through. Rubbing his eyes, Mr. Tupper took another look. His visitor was a negro burglar, and the weapon he bore was Mr. Tupper's own trusty sword which he had just brought home from the Anniston encampment.

Little Frank Gilreath, Jr., who lives in Inman Park, ca,me home today with a copy of this photograph in his hand and sat down and wrote a letter to Woodrow Wilson on the back of the picture. This is what he said. Mr. Woodrow Wilson: Dear Sir —I hope the donkey the pictures in the papers show you riding on w’ill carry you to the white house as easy as mine carries me to school. Hoping you are the same, yours, truly. FRANK GILREATH. JUNIOR. Then Frank went in and put on his other clothes, for it’s his birthday and he’s giving a party to celebrate his be ing eight years old. Frank had an especial interest in writing to the nominee, for he is Woodrow Wilson’s youngest relative in the South. Mrs. Frank Gilreath, his mother, is a first cousin to Mrs. Wil son, and the two were great girlhood friends. It may be that Frank, Jr., has his eye on a government job after next March, or maybe he thinks perhaps President Wilson will lend him that gold-mounted season baseball pass the president receives every year. Anyway, he wrote the letter and he will wait for the postman’s whistle every day until the answer comes. TOT TRIES TO HELP PURSUERS IN‘MOVIE’ CHASE TAKE BANDIT Little Edna Pope, the 3-year-old niece of George Sims, deputy in the city clerk’s office, believes motion pic tures are real, and in displaying her belief she showed herself to be even a more human spectator than those who have come to hiss the viilian and cheer the hero of the celluloid drama. He? uncle today told this tory of Edna’s last visit to a Peachtree “movie.” The play was a train robbery. The bandits gathered up their loot, mount ed their horses and were off. Cow boys soon were in hot pursuit and there was a wild chase for miles across the plains. Then suddenly the bandits made a sharp turn to back trail when obscured by a wooded hill. The pur suers rushed up, but hesitated which way to go. The leader started in the wrong direction. “The other way! the other way!” shouted Edna as she arose in her seat and waved her hands.” When the act ors did not heed her "tip" and the spec tators all looked around, the little girl hung her head and sank silently Into her seat.

Frank is 8 years old today. TIPPINS BILL IS SENT TO BROWN Speculation as to What Gov ernor Will Do With Measure Still Varied. The Tippins bill, passed by both the house and the senate by more than a two-thirds vote, has been engrossed and went to the governor for his con sideration today. Under the law, the governor has five days in which either to reject it or sign it, and those five days include the day it reaches him, but do not include Sunday. , It therefore must get back to the house in which It originated not later than Wednesday, In the event of a veto. Unless the governor signs or vetoes It within the prescribed five days, tho bill will become a law automatically, and with the governor's constructive but not recorded approval. Speculation as to what the governor will do with the Tippins bill Is varied. In the main, he is expected to veto it outright, but there are those who be lieve he will veto it conditionally—that he will send It back with the sugges tion that he will approve it if the ref erendum clause is added. There are still others who believe he will sign the hill as it stands, but these are in a decided minority. Would Be Called at Once. When the bill comes back to the house vetoed, if it does so come, it will be called up at once. It will be a priv ileged document and entitled to im mediate consideration. The house may do what it pleases with It. It may pass the bill over the executive veto by a two-thirds vote, it may table it, or it may dispose of it by accepting the governor's objections as valid and specifically sustaining them. If the house sustains the governor, that will be the end of the bill. If it overrides him, the bill will then go to the senate, where the procedure will be the same as In the house, whatever the result may be. If either house sustains the governor it will kill the law, regardless of how the other house may vote. It takes a concurrent two-thirds vote to override. SLAYER GETS LIFE SENTENCE.
