This contradicted the testimony of Louis Kraus, a waiter, who swore that several shots fired by at least three men rang out simultaneously and Rosenthal dropped to the ground.

"I saw a man walk out of the Metro-! pola hotel," Kratis testified, "and raise his hand to a level with his eyes. In stantly shots were fired and Rosenthal fell to the ground." Kraus also swore that he recognized "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, Harry Hor rowltx, alias "Gyp the Blood," and "Whltey" Lewis as three of the men who fired the fatal shots. He was not certain about "Dago Frank" Clroficl be ing with the party.
