VOGEL A TYPE OF DICKENS' “FAGIN.” Dead Crook Was Master of Forty Girl Thieves. Over New York, Nov. Henry Vogel, “weeping thief” and “Fagin,” master of more than forty girl thieves who stolo for_him, died fighting when trapped in a Bronx hotel last night. Evidence developed today that he did mot turn his eleven-shot automatic pistol on himself after he had shot one man to death and wounded four others in the pliched battle, but with the woman who was kpown as his wife was killed by bullets from detectives’ revolvers. This new light on the sensational af- fray was revealed by the autopsy. Vogel's pistol fired only steel jacketed bullets, one lead bullet from a police revolver plerced the heart of the thief, another bored through him directly under the heart, and a third shattered his right wrist. The woman, at first thought to have been killed by Vogel, was killed by missiles from the detec- tives' guns—one through the heart and another through the neck, Vogel's identity was easily estab- lished, but who his woman companion Was remains unknown. What, it is hoped, will prove a clus to various un- explained features of the case was a cipher code in capital letters written on a sheet of paper found in a hand- bag carried by the Vogel woman, Ex- perts have been given this code to de- cipher. Vogel, who had a long criminal rec- ord and many aliases, had thoroughly tematized his operations as a “Fa- ain” the detectives investigating the case say. His servant girl tools, sald to number forty or more, were moved a8 chess pleces in a_game, thelr mas- ter causing them to bring their loot to one of several “homes” he maintained and then answer advertisements and obtain new positions where they could | sain more_plunder. | _ Sophie Beckendorf, a girl of 18, ar- rested for robbing her employers, im- | plicated Vogel, who came under sus- picion when he hired a lawyer to de- fend the girl in court.

The decrease in the supply during the Iast month was more than 241,000,000 gallone. " The board tonight ordered the chief engineer to shut down the supply of water in the ofty at night, which in effect will reduce the fire protection at night to & minimum. In order to uard against fires, however, watch- men will be stationed at all the city reservoirs, so that in case of fire the water will be Yurned om, Unless there is plenty of rain {t witl e necessowy to pump Connectiout riv- er water into the eity mains after De- eember 1, Steamship Arrivals, At Genoa; Nov, 15, Duee D'Assta, from New York, At Naples: Nov_ 15, San Guglisime, from New York.

New York, Nov. 19.—“Lefty Loul “Gyp the Blood,” “Dago Frank” and “Whitey” Lewis killed Herman Rosen- thal, the gambler, at the instigation of Charles Becker, and, like him, must pay the penalty of death in the ele tric chair. The jury, which has been hearing the evidence against the four gunmen, so decided today, when it re- turned against them e verdict of mur- der In the first degree after but twen- ty minutes of deliberation. Gunmen Show No Emtion. Like Becker, the gunmen heard the verdict pronounced against them with- out show of emotion. They stood at the bar looking straight ahead as the foreman of the jury rose to make known the result of its deliberations, and they continued to stare stoically in front of them“until the formalities of ‘the proceedings wero concluded. Remanded to their cells until tomor- row, when Justice Goff will fix the day' for imposing sentence, they turn- ed and filed out of court with as firm step as when they had entered, “Whitey” Lewis—he who was the most dramatic of the four when he testified on the witness stand—alone walked with head bowed, “Lefty Louie's” Wife Affected. As they entered the deor leadin over the bridge of sighs, “Gyp” sal something to “Lefty” in a sullen ua- dertone which none could heer, Out- side “Lefty's” doll-faced wife, “Lefty's Lillie,” as she was ealled, wept on the sheulder of her husband’s father, who vainly tried to comfort her—for the verdict was quiekly flashed from the courtroom te the waiting crowds eut- side. “Gyp's” wife, known as “Gyp's “Lillie,” received the news in the house of detention. The two other gunmen are unmarried. Case to Be Appealed. Former Maglstrate Charles G. F.

Meantime, they will occupy cells near that of the former, police Hewtenant in the death house of Sing Sing. Verdict Reached in 20 Minutes. Although the jury was actually out of the courtroom an hour and five minutes, it was but twenty minutes after their retirement that word reached the clerk of the court that they had arrived at a verdict. This was at 155 o'clock, but at the time Justice Goff was at lunch, and he did not return until three-quarters of an hour later. Judge's Charge Ocoupies Three Hours The final day of the trial opened with Justice Goff's charge to the jury, which occupied three hours. The charge emphasized many points in the testimony of the gunmen, which the prosecution in its summing up had de- clared were discrepancies fatal to the credibility of their storles. Court Rai Questions for Jury. “If the defendants’ contention were true that Rose and his companions, ‘Webber, Vallon and Schepps, shot Ro- senthal, would he have invited them around to the Metropole hotel to the #cene of the shooting?’ he asked the Jury, “Did the defendants tell the truth when they said they saw Ro- senthal ghot and were near enough to distinguish the fac of those who did. the shooting, but did not see Ro- senthal fall? Was the testimony of the three defendants in support of the alibi of ‘Dago Frank' interposed by pre-arrangement ?"* End of Gang Rule, “The verdict was a just one and wi'l meet with the approval of all right thinking citizens,” said District Attor- ney Whitman tonight. “It means the Dbeginning of the end of ‘gang rule’ in New York city, Frem now on this of- fice will push the ease of every man arrested as being & gangster, They will receive no mercy, and the public opinion that has been roused by the killing of Herman Rosenthal will sup- port the prosecuting officer of the county in his endeavers to remove these pests from the city.

As for Schepps, he was enly | held as a vagrant and he certaimly has served hs term, I shall mot op- pose his discharge, The jury that de- cided the case of the gunmen did not seem te regard Shapiro as an accom- plice, and I shall move tomorrow for his discharge.” WON'T TELL BECKER. Prison Officials Woon't Make Known Conviction of Gunmen. Ossining, N. Y., Nov. 19.—Warden Kennedy of Sing Sing prison, where former Police Lieul. Charles Becker is confined, today deciared that no news of the conviction of the four gunmen could reach Becker. in the death house unless carried to him by his wife or attorneys. No newe concerning crim- inal affairs of any kind is permitted to reach condemned prisoners the war- den said, all newspapers being care- tully clipped before the yare sent to the death house. In the upper gallery of the death house are four vacant cells and in these the gunmen will be confined, None of the four will ever see Becker, although Warden Kennedy sald thers was no rule to prevent the five men, each in his own cell, from discussing the Rosenthal case if they so destred.

Appealed to Taft. Members of the Massachusetts rail- road commission and the Rhode Is- land utilities commission, speaking for the governors of those states, appealed to President Taft today for federal intervention under the Sherman anti- trust law to check the alleged deal and prevent any possibile monopolization of the railroad facilities of New Eng- land. It was alleged that the Grand Trunk has abandoned its proposod ex- tensions in Southern New England in conslderation of trackage privileges from the New Haven. Turned Over to Attorney General. President Taft turned the delega- tion over to Attorney Genmeral Wick- ersham, who, bombarded by numer- ous protests from New England, al- ready had instituted an inquiry to as- certain the faocts. Jesse C. Adkins, assistant attorney eneral, who has immediate charge of the government's investigation, at- tended the conference. Much valuable information_as to the real situation is said to have been laid before the attorney general Dy the New England- ers, The details were mot made pub- lie, officials deelaring that the subject was still in the status of investigation, and it would be improper to make any statement before all the facts had been aseertained. Viewed frem Standpoint of Sherman Law. Mr. Wickersham is looking at the situation entirely from the standpoint of the Sherman law, and if a move is made by the government it will be under that statute and not the inter- state commerce act. It has not vet been decided whether the government would institute a criminal prosecution ar a civil suit seeking injunctions against the reported agreement.

Iroads Awaiting Action L] Federal Government. by the New Haven, Nov. 19.—It is_under- stood that Attorney General W sham has asked the New York, Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. for details of the negotiations relating to the proposed trafic agreement with the Grand Trunk. This 1s interpreted here as the first official step of the attorney general, preliminary to de- termining whether to bring sult un- der the Sherman act, to prevent the agreement. Should the suit be brought, it will bo the second of Attorney Geperal Wickersham against the New Haven, under the federal statute, the first being that brought some years ago to prevent the New Haven's control of the Boston & Maino. The latter suit was withdrawn after the Massachu- setts legislature haq assented to New Haven control of the Boston & Maine through the Boston Holding company. The contention of the New Haven Co. as agalnst any successful sult against the proposed Grand Trunk agreement, is that the agreement does not in fact exist legally, as it has not been signed by the iwo contracting parties; -that the contemplated agree- ment, even if carried through, would enlarge railroad facilities and traffic in New England, instead of restrieting them; and that the question of stop- ge of work en the Southern New ngland is one entirely in the hands of the Grand Trunk company and has not been referred to in the propesed agreement.

His face and head were com- pletely covered jue mask and he carried in his arms a large hox covered with cloth. The box was strapped around his shotlders and resembled a small hand organ. First startled and then am the strange spectacle, Police R. C. Hilf, who suspected a pract Joke, asked the man what he wanted. “T've got enough dynamite in here to blow us all into eternity,” he sald, “and I want vou to send for the high- est official of the Southern Pacific rail- road.” Realized 1t Was No Joke. The masked visitor rested the box on a filing cabinet and Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Graham, who was in the office, started joking with him. “This is no joke' sald Davis. *T mean business, and if you don't believe it, try to take this away from me. My hand is fastened in this box and it pull it ont—bang!—we all die.” A hole had been cut In the box and the occupants of the room saw for the firat time that the man's left hand was hidden in the box. They began to realize that it was no joke. Davis then walked into the of- fice of Police Secretary (. E. Snively, which opena into the private office of Chief Sebastian, and repeated his re- quest that the head official of the Southern Pacific be summoned. Snive- Iy asked him if he had any preference n the man he desired to blow up, and e replled that he only wanted the head man. Detained by a Ruse. Snively then took down the tele- phone receiver and pretended to hold a conversation with Paul Shoup, gen- eral manager of the Pacific Eiectric company. “Mr. Shoup is busy, but he will be here in about fifteen minutes” sald Snively. “Well, he'd better hurry,” Davis, ‘T'm getting nervous.” Street Roped Off, Courts Cleared. In the meantime Chief Sebastian who had had a_ brief conversation with the man and realized he was in earnest, ordered the streat roped oft for a block either way and took steps to have the 100 prisoners in the city jail removed. Upstalrs in the bullding iwo Justice courts were in session and both courtrooms were crowded A detective passed the word fo a bailif in Judge Chembers' cou where a Japanese was having a pr limimary examination on a murder charge before a erowd of his country- men. The bailift whispered to the judge. ~ Prisoners Removed from Jail. “Court's adjourned until 2 p. m. Clear the courtroom,” ordered the judge promptly, and there was a rush for the stairway. A similar scene was enacted in Justice Frederickson's court There were not enough patroi wagons to remove the prisoners from the jail to the Doyle Helghts prison and two street cars were sent for. It was an orderly procedure and the prisoners were soon on their way to the east side, guarded by the reserves who had been called out. Ambulances removed the patients trom the city emergency hospital just around the corner from the chief's of- flee. The hospital was crowded with patients injured in last night's fire at the 8t. George hotel. Realizing the necessity of keeping the man's attention engaged untll the ‘bullding was cleared and some means devised for folling his plans, Secretary Snively and the detectives in the room carried on a conversation with him. Photographed With Infernal Machine. “Why dian't you go down {o he Southern Paciflc and blow up the man you_wanted?” he was asked. “Well,” he replled, thoughtfully, “T theught the police could handle it bet- ter and I wanted to do a good job, I might have killed the wrong ones otherwige.” ‘While the conversation was in pro- gress severa] policemen and newspaper men passed through the room. A news- per photographer even came in and ook a picture of the man sitting on the chair with the infernal machine resting on his knee, “Guriosity Has Killed Lots of People.” Davis finally asked that everybody be kept baek, “Curlosity has killed lots of people,” he said, “and if this thing gees off, there's going to be a whole lot of them g0 _up. One of the spectators attracted to the acene was J. Randel, a mining man frem Chihuahua, Mexice.
