The run through the Dardanelles ts one of about forty miles, between coasts from one and one-fifth to four miles apart. Had the Italian flotilla effected {t, 1t would have had the obsolete Turk- ish warships n the Sea of Marmora at {te mercy and a bombardment of Con- ntinople at the eastern end of the Marmora Sea would certainly have fol- lowed.

He looked scared. “I went on to the Métropole. 1 heard Herman Rosenthal had been killed. 1 saw his body. It was the body of Rosenthal. 1 asked what Webber was running away for? What he had to do with it? They told me Webber had been talking to Herman Rosenthal just before he was. shot and perhaps thought that, being a gambler, somebody might think he had something to do with it. CROWD SAID TWO DID SHOOTING “They told me that two men did the shooting. There was a crowd standing around, who seemed to know who | was and was excited and anxious to tell. They said there were two men who did the real shoot- ing, one who shot Rosenthal first until he fell down and a second man who shot him to make sure that he would die. They said that the others ran over from the automobile, because the two who did the wouldn't agree to shoot Rosenthal urfless the others went with them and shared the risk. “Now, I have known Jack Rose and Herman Rosenthal since they were boys. They went to school together. They quarreled and did’ not become friends again untif they were grown men when Rosenthal had 4 gambling house at Sixth avenue and Thirty-ninth street. “After Herman discounted Tim Sullivan’s note for $5,000, and fitted up his house in Forty-fifth street, he had hard luck. The game went up and down. At last he was up against it. He told his friends that he got the money through Becker, with Rose acting as Becker's representative. That was the same statement which he swore to be- fore he was killed. The $1,500, wherever it came from, was soon wiped out. “Rosenthal was hard put to It. He borrowed money of everybody who had money and who would trust him. He borrowed momty,of me. “A man came along who offered him $6,000 cash for a 60 per cent, in- terest in the profits. on condition that Jack Rose wore left out of the house. Rosenthal asked Rose to get out.

The place was raided by Becker the next night. “The quarrel ran on and got uglier and uglier. Rosenthal tried to run in spite of the close-down order. A policeman was put in the house: He kept making more and more nol ‘unning to the Commissioner of police, the District-Attorney, newspaper editors, politicians, continually. “One day, a man with whom he had been friendly, and who had an official position walked into his house in his absence and sald to Mrs. Rosenthal: ‘Tell Herman to get out of this house, to close up for good and wet out of town. If he don't'he will get hurt, This goes.’ That was only a few weeks ago. A little later Jack Rose called him up, after Mrs. Rosenthal had told him what the other man had sald, and yelled at him: “You cheap You get out of town and keep your mouth shut when you go.
