“Gyp the Blood” and Confeder
ates Deny Conspiracy in
Plea on Appeal.
ALBANY. N. V . Dei 17 —Tiir ap-
peal of the four gunmen now in Sing
Sing awaiting death for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal in New York
City on July 16, 1912, was heard in
the Court of Appeal.- to-day The
convicted men are Jacob Seidensh-
ner, alias “Whitey Louis;" Frank
Cirofloo, alias “Dago Frank;” LouUi
Rosenberg, alias "Lefty Louie,*’ and
Harry Horowitz, alias "Gyp the
Blood.” It was the prosecution's the
ory that Rosenthal's death was a re
sult of a conspiracy between former
Policy Lieutenant Charles Becker and
the gamblers who turned State’s evi
dence, and the gunmen.
Judge A. T. Clearwater, of Kings
ton, who prepared the appeal for the
gunmen, mad#* emphatic denial of any
conspiracy. Judge Clearwater traced
the history of Rose, Welter, Vallon
and Schepps, and said they had al
ways been engaged in a business
prohibited by law. II#* held the ver
dict was against the weight of evi
dence and the admission of Roses
testimony of conversations and trans
actions with Becker, Weber and Yal-
lon, all in the absence of the convict
ed gunmen, was error
Assistant District Attorney Robert
c. Taylor upheld the conviction of the
gunmen and swept aside the claims
made in behalf of the convicted men.

mixture, is dead to-day at Cuba

John Taylor, killed his wife and th< u
committed suicide Sorrow over this
caused the sister's deed
Miss Elsie Ball, recovering in Grady
Hospital Wednesday from a myste
rious illness, denied emphatically that
an attempt at suicide had been re
sponsible for her being found uncon
scious in the bathroom at her room
ing place, No. 41 East Cain street,
shortly after midnight.
Miss Ball is about 20 years old and
a stenographer for a local newspaper.
She explained that she had been feel
ing 111 during the day and that before
retiring had purchased some calomel
at a Peachtree pharmacy and taken
five grains of it. The next thing she
knew, she derlared, she was in Grady
H ospital.
Miss Ball had complained of not
feeling well to others in the house.
When she had remained in the bath
room for an exceptionally long time
they became alarmed. There was no
response to their calls and they Anal
ly broke in the door and found her
on the floor.
One of the roomers said that he
had heard a fall a few minutes be
fore The young woman was hurried
to Grady Hospital. The physicians,
While baffled as to the cause of her
^condition, were able after some time
to bring her back to consciousness.
"That’s all nonsense about my try
ing suicide,'' she exclaimed when seen
Wednesday. "I haven’t anything to
kill myself for. I don’t know* what
caused my Illness. It might have
been that a mistake was made In giv
ing me the -calomel tablets. They
might have contained some other
drug.”
