BLOODLESS GUN
DUEL; PROS
Chicago Men Placed Back to

After Wild Shots,Clasp Hands
Chicago.—A bloodless revolver duel,
fought yesterday morning In a grove
near Riverside Park, re-established
friendship between the participants,
two Chicago newspaper men, accord
ing to stories told by their friends
and seconds.
Christian Botker, editor and pub
lisher of the Revyen, a Danish-Nor
wegian newspaper, and Edward Peter
aon, local correapondent of the Chicago
Poston, a Danish paper published in
Minneapolis, were said to have been
the principals. An article published
In the Revyen attacking Peterson was
said to have led to the trouble.
Each duellist was given a revolver
and placed with his back to the other
when, with their seconds, they reached
the duelling ground Easter morning.
At a giver word each walked ten
paces, wheeled and fired. Roth shots
went wild, according to the witnesses.
A second time the men stood back to
hack, walked ten paces, turned and
fired.
A second time the shots went
wild.
The principals then were said to
have clasped hands and to have re
tired for refreshments.
CONFESSION NOT MADE;
FOUR GUNMEN DIED
AT J)AWN
Continued from page one.
An anaemic moon still hung In the
sky when those who were to witness
the executions gathered in front of
the prison. Faint lights glimmered at
corridor ends of the buildings, but no
sound came from within. The hideous
noises which convicts have heen said
to emit when one of their nhmber Is
to die were spared those who waited.
Dawn Was Breaking.
Dawn was breaking over the hills
when the witnesses were admitted to
the hare courtyard of the death
house. Many were ashen-faced ami
trembling. From a printed list a
clerk read off the names of those who
were to see the first man die. A mo
ment more and the door of the death
chamber had closed behind them.
Warden Clancy had announced that
"Gyp the Blood" would die first, fol
lowed by "Lefty "Dago Frank"
and "Whitey Lewis.” But as It trans
pired. the man who first came through
the little Ison door at the right was
"Dago Frank." He had shown signs
of collapsing and It was deemed ex
pedient to shield him from the ordeal
of waiting.
, Current Tested.
State Electrician Davis carefully
tested the electric current.
"Two of these men have told me
that they will make a statement,” an
nounced Warden Clnncy, "hut under
no circumstances must anyone ask
them any questions.”
The head and leg sponges were then
wet and Head Keeper Mclnerney, act
ing r a signal from the warden, went
to tha death cell. There he found
"Clrofici in prayer with Father Cashin.
The condemned man clutched a cru
cifix In each hand as he was led
Into the presence of death. He had
to b* supported by two keepers. In
the cells could be heard the murmur
ofo the other slayeors .'n their suppli
cations. The warden and attendants
stepped back from the rubber mat.
“1 Meet My God.”
“Oh. God, I meet my God," gasped
the Italian. The state electrician
turned the switch.
Tlgo first contact was gradually re
duce,., then a second shock was given.
The prison physicians. Dr. Farr and
Dr. Meremo, with several other wit
nessing doctors, applied the stetho
scope.
“I pronounce this man dead,” whis
pered Dr. Farr. It was 5:43 o'clock.
The group of witnesses left the death
chamber and the body of "Dago Frank"
wns removed to the autopsy room.
The doctors said Clroflei had made
little resistance to the electric current,
which registered 1,920 volts and be
tween 9and 10 amperes. Of the four
he died the easiest. He had Intended
making a statement, but his mental
processes had failed him.
Filed In.
A new lot of witnesses filed In.
Then through the little door came
"Whitey Lewis.” The statement that
he never finished was on his lips as
he entered. The attendants, fearing
a shock spectacle of hysteria, sought
to soothe him.
A current of 1,920 volts with a
slightly- higher amperage than had
been used on Clroflei took his life.
The switch was first closed-at 5:46:36
and he was pronounced dead at 5:52.
At 5:56 "Gyp the Blood" was brought
in. He had a Jewish prayer hook In
his left hand and Rabbi Goldstiein
walked by his side. "Listen, Israel.
There Is only one God," mumbled "Gyp
the Blood" in Hebrew. Two shocks
were given and at 6:02 o’clock physi
cians pronounced him dead.
Laat of tha Four.
"Lefty Louie," the last of the four
to die, entered the chamber at 6:07.
He handed his Jewish prayer book to
Rabbi Kopfsteln before the 'guard
strapped him in the chair. Like "Gyp,"
he mumbled a prayer In Hebrew. The
theory that the strongest shall die
last, "Lefty" bore out by his uncanny
resistance to the current. The first
contact was given nt 6:08. At 6:17
he was pronounced dead.
The only relatives of the gunmen
who were In the prison at the time
of the execution were "Dago Frank's"
mother, sister and brothers, and
"Whitey Lewis' '• brothers. Mrs. Clro
flcl was borne to her carriage In a col
lapae an hour after the electrocution.
Bodies Claimed.
All the bodies of the gunmen will be
claimed by relatives.
Mrs. Clroflei remained with her son
as late as 4 a. m. This is an unusual
procedure. She had thought until the
last moment that on her son's plea
for mercy the governor would grant
a reprieve. She believed in his inno
cence to the end. She pleaded with
Frank to confess, but he said he had
told all he knew and that he had not
been present when Herman Rosenthal
was kilted.

New York—Announcement was
made here today of the marriage on
Saturday at Hoboken, N. J., of Miss
Billie Burke, actress, to Florenz Zleg

street, Just off Broadway.
Rosenthal had caused the gambling
world of the metropolis to quake with
terror by his conference with the Dis
trict Attorney, Charles S. Whitman.
His promised confessions were a sequel
to a gambling war In which the other
underworld Interests had tried to drive
him from the fat field of the upper
tenderloin. Bomb outrages, slayings
and assaults had marked this con
flict. Believing he was to be de
serted by Charles Becker, police lieut
enant In charge of a "strong arm
squad” nnd a partner in the Rosen
thal gambling house, the desperate
man was now about to expose the
whole illegal conspiracy of police and
crime.
Sitting in the Metropol*.
The gambler was sitting in the
Metropole about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing of July 16, 19192. A man entered
and asked him to come outside. Lurk
ing in the shadows were "Rridgey"
Weber, "Bald Jack” Rose and Harry
Vallon. Nearby stood a motor car with
engine running. The policemen sup
posed to be on the station nearby had
been lured away.
In the glare of bright lights and
within 100 feet of Times Square four
men shot Rosenthal to death and
leaped into the motor ear. A fifth man
also entered, It Is said by some, and
urged the driver onward by holding
a revolver to his head and striking
him. The ear disappeared in the di
rection of Fifth avenue. But so sure
were the murderers Charles Beckef
would protect them, that they left the
correct license number on the "murder
car" and this was noted by a man who
Jiappened to be a witness to ths
shooting.
In a Turmoil.
The next day New York was in a
turmoil. The district attoiViey and
Becker were both on the scene long
before daybreak. There were ugly
rumors of police attempts to cover the
murderers’ trail. It was recalled that
Rosenthal was to tell a complete
story to Mr. Whitman the very day of
his death. The motive of the murder
could not have been more clear.
Not for several days were the names
of the four put to death today men
tioned. The "murder car” was found
and the two owners, one of whom had
driven that night, were arrested. A
general alarm was sent out for "Jack''
Rose, who lay In hiding in a fine Riv
erside apartment. On July 18 he
strolled into police headquarters non
chalantly and was locked up. On July
20 a newspaper published the names
of “Lefty Louie” and "Whitey Lewis”
as two of the four gunmen.
Then Sam Paul, head of an organ
ization of gamblers which had had an
outing the Sunday previous to the
murder; "Bridgey" Weber and “Jack
Sullivan," who had been with Becker
the night of the murder, were lock
ed up.
Sent to the Bronx.
On July 22 Harry Vallon was taken
into custody and Becker was trans
ferred from his headquarters squad to
Bronx desk duty. Only now w'ere
“Gyp the Blood” and “Dago Frank"
brought into the case as suspected
principals.
There began a country-wide search
for the four gunmen and Sam Schepps.
a hanger-on of the gamblers who had
arranged the murder.
"Dago Frank," stupid with opium,
was found in Harlem on July 25, the
day Alderman Curran demanded a spe
