"LEFTY LOUIE" IS COOL
Police Commissioner Dougherty and
Squad of 60 Detectives Rewarded
In Long Search for Two Indict
ed for Rosenthal's Murder.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. "Gyp the
Blood" and "Lefty Louie." the missing
gunmen Indicted as two of the actual
layers of Herman Rosenthal, the gam
bler, were found by the police tonight,
Jlvfng -with their wives In a flat in
Brooklyn. They were arrested by Dep
uty Police Commissioner Dougherty and
a squad of detectives and locked up.
They will be arraigned on Monday.
The two men had been occupying the
flat slnce'August 15 and were alone un
til last Tuesday, when they were Joined
by their wives, through whom -clews to
their whereabouts were obtained by the
police.
Poor Seated at Tea.
The four were seated at tea when
Dougherty and his men burst open the
door of their apartment and with re
volvers drawn ordered them to hold up
their hands. , .
Neither of the men showed surprise.
"Drop your guns. Tou've got us,"
said "Gyp the Blood." calmly.
"Give us a little time to get dressed,
will youT" said "Lefty," with equal
composure.
With the arrest of "Gyp" and "Lefty."
whose real names are Harry Horowitz
and Louis Kosenswelg, the seven men
accused of killing Rosenthal, of which
Police Lieutenant Becker is the alleged
instigator, are now In custody.
Loaf Watch Rewarded..
Today's capture was the fruit of an
unbroken surveillance of the wives and
relatives of the two men. This surveil
lance was maintained by CO detectives
working in relays, who kept Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty in touch with
what they did and where they were
sent The final clew followed the piec
ing together of conversations overheard
by detectives.
The first conversation was: "They
, are not lonesome, because they can see
a movlng-plcture show from their back
windows." 'Another conversation gave
the .nformatlon that there was a laun
dry In the house where the missing
men lived which was named either
"New Brighton." the "Bright" or the
"Brighton Hand Laundry."
A third conversation supplied the
fact that the neighborhood "was full
of Swedes and Germans."
Three Clews Pieced Together.
It then became Commissioner
Dougherty's task to discover a hand
laundry In close proximity to a moving-picture
show in a vicinity inhabited
by foreigners of the nationalities
named. The possible name of the laun
dry was obtained less than two days
ago and the Commissioner discovered
thera were half a dozen laundries of
similar names in New York City and
many more In other cities.
"When we found a laundry with a
movlng-plcture show, there were no
Swedes or Germans In the neighbor
hood," said Mr. Dougherty tonight.
"When we found a laundry with the
foreigners in the neighborhood, there
waa no moving-picture show."

daughter of the late Isaac Ellwood. the
steel wire manufacturer, and was made
heiress to 17.000.000 by his will.

tled five years ago by the announce
mint made by Said Kalll Halck, I

had become engaged to Miss Ellwood
while she was touring the Holy Land
with her narents.
Upon the return of the EllwooaS to
America, Miss Ellwood told her mother

It was Just prior to the trip to the
Holy Land that Miss Ellwood ana Mr.

FRENCH RACER INJURED
Dead Aviator Tells of Premonition
of Danger Just Before Start and
Says, "I'm Liable to Bring This
Coat Back With Blood on It."
CHICAGO, Sept. 14. Aviator Howard
W. Gill, of Baltimore, was fatally hurt
on the Cicero aviation field tonight.
George Mestach, of France, whose
monoplane collided with GUI's biplane
when they were participating in a race,
75 feet in the air, was picked up un
conscious, but later he revived and his
condition was found to be not serious.
Gill died an hour after the accident.
At the hospital Mestach was able to
talk. "I was going at top speed in my
monoplane to win the 12-mile race,"
he said, "when, looking behind, I saw
GUI in his Wright biplane turning
around a pylon and rapidly approach
ing me, a few feet below. I Jerked my
elevator, thinking to give him ample
space to clear. I was unable to get- a
good view of Just what was happen
ing, but It seemed that Gill, driving
straight ahead, hit my understructure."
GIU Had Premonition.
Gill had a premonition of an acci
dent. Just before he entered his ma
chine and started he called to a friend
to throw him a heavy oil coat which
the man was bearing.
I'm liable to bring back some blood
on this," said Gill with a laugh, as re
slipped it on.
The friend Jokingly remarked: '
"GUI Is as safe in those machines as
If in a bus on the ground."
To which Gill replied: "When you
go 4ip you can never tell what shape
you will be in when you come down."
Ten minutes later Gill's mangled
body, lay beneath the wreckage of a
machine.
Airman Hurt Once Before.
Gill .was a wealthy young sports
man. Last February at Los Angeles
he suffered an accident similar to the
one today, falling 75 feet.
Darkness was said to be primarily
the cause of the accident. Paul Peck,
on the same field the other day, met
his death at 5:45 P. M. Today's acci
dent occurred at 6 P. M., when, while
there still was light higher up, it was
almost dark near the ground.
Mestach said Just before the mono
plane race was to start be protested
to the officials of the Aero Club of
Illinois against racing in darkness, but
the start was called and he went up.
3estach Complains of Dark.
I didn't want this race to start
when it was right on the verge of
night," said Mestach. "Right along
the monoplane races have been put on
the programme so they came at the
end. Yet when the race was called 1
went up, with Anthony Jannus as a
competitor."
Mestach was going about a mile In
two minutes and had gone only twice
around the course when his monoplane
and Gill's biplane came to the earth
together. Timekeepers at the pylons
nearest the spot declared Mestach was
In the lead and Gill, coming up faster
from behind at the turn, tried to pass
beneath Mestach. The two machines
clashed, the wings became entangled.
and both came to the ground.

ARREST HALTS WEDDING
Participant tn "Shooting Vp" ot
Virginia Courthouse Declares He
AVould Have Surrendered
but Feared Injustice.
DftS MOINES, la.. Sept 14. Sidna,
Allen, so-called leader of the Allen clan,
which "shot up" the Carroll County
Courthouse at Hlllsvllle, Va., March 14,
killing Judge Masste and others, and
his nephew. Wesley Edwards, are man
acled tonight In cells at the city Jail.
Both have announced their willingness
to return to Virginia without requisi
tion. Edwards, for the love of whom Miss
Maude Iroler, of Mount Airy, N. C, had
innocently led detectives to Des Moines,
was captured as lie was returning to
hl5 boarding-house after having worked
all day with a paving gang. Just as
he boarded a streetcar, detectives and
officers surrounded it Edwards was
trying to escape by crawling through
the front end of the car when the offi
cers caught him. The arrest of Sidna
Allen was effected earlier In the day.'
Lost Letter Gives Clew.
A visit by Edwards to Miss Iroler In
her Virginia home a month ago and the
accidental loss of a letter put the de
tectives on the trail. The fugitives had
been In Des Moines since April 28, Al
len under the name of Tom Sayre work
lng as a carpenter, and Edwards under
the name of Joe Jackson employed with
a city paving gang.
Allen was arrested at the home of
John Cameron, where he and his
nephew had been rooming. The arrest
followed a few minutes after Miss Iroler
stepped into the Cameron borne to meet
Edwards, whom she was to wed tonight,
according to an arrangement made
when he visited her in Virginia. ,
Miss Iroler arrived this morning, un
aware that on the same train were de
tectives who wanted her sweetheart.
Marriage of Couple Planned.
Although surprised, she took the ar
rest of Edwards calmly. "Wesley was
down home a month ago," she said. "We
were to be married. He gave me the
money to come to this city and this
address. I had no Idea that any ona
was following me." '
Sidna Allen declined to say much con
cerning his movements immediately fol
lowing the - Courthouse tragedy. Ha
and Edwards remained in the mountain
country of Virginia and North Carolina
for about a month and then got over
into Kentucky, going to Louisville,
where they spent several days. Their
next stop was in St. Louis.
"I don't know why we came to Des
Moines," said Allen. "I would have
given myself up long ago If I had
thought we could get a square deal.
ut you see what they've done to Floyd,
my brother, and Claude."
Allen declared the Courthouse trag
edy was the fault of the officers, who,
he said, began the shooting.
