Horowitz is slender and has brown eyes. He is sald by the police to be of the reckless type, willing to take any sort of a chance to win the sort of glory that accrues to a mankiller In gang circles.

Reisler was asked by Mr. Whitman if he did not see Webber on the morning of the murder, Reisler said he saw Webber In front of the Cadillac Hotel. “Was he running?” asked the District-Attorney. “I don't know,” replied Reisler, glancing at Webber. “Didn't you tell me,” shouted the District-Attorney, “not more than ten minutes ago that you met Webber in front of the Cwiillac Hotel and that he was ‘running like hell’ away from the Metropole? Haven't you told me 4n the presence of Mr. Moss that you were afraid you would be killed {f you testified here—that you knew the kind of a bunch you were up against?” | Reisler literally squirmed in his chair. The sweat rolled down his cheeks and tears came to bis eyes. He was ordered to stop from the witness stend and Mr. Moss was sworn over the objection of Webber's counsel, Mr, Marshall. Mr. Mots told of conversations he had with Reisler in the presence of the District-Attorney. He sald Relsler declared he was on his way to the Metropole, having been told that Rosenthal had been shot, when he met Webber running away in the direction of Broadway. Reisler, Mr. Moss said, expressed fear that something dire would happen to him if he had to tell the truth in court. “JOHN TRE BARBER’S” TALE OF MURDER. Reisler was recalled to the stand and cross-examined by Mr. Marshall. He said he was on his way down Broadway from the Garden Restaurant at Fiftieth street with his wife and a man named Costello and a woman triend, when he was told in front.ofthe Hotel Astor that Rosenthal had just been Killed at the Metropole, . Reteler said he left Costello and the womn aaé fen across Longacre Square toward the Metropole. » Mr. Whitman resumed his examination. He asked Reisler {f he hadn't seéa ‘Webber rimning from the scene of the crime. “I don't know who I saw,” said the unhappy barber. {Haven't you told me, within half an hour, that you saw Webber running away?” “I don't remember.” “Didn't you tell me in Mrs. Rosenthal’s house, right after the murder, that you wished you could tell me all you knew?” i Reisler did not answer. Mr. Whitman asked him {f he know the penalty for perjury, and Reisler said be supposed he would “get a term.” Webber was ordered to stand up. He rose and his lips trembled so that he put his hand to his mouth. Relsler would not say then that he! saw Webber running away from the Metropole. “T raid I @idn’t want to be mixed up in this case,” faltered Reisler. told you I had a big family. I've got six children. I've got two girls.” “Didn't you tell me that a man who testified against Webber couldn't Mvet” asked Mr. Whitman. ~ Reisler said be couldn't remember. *. “Did yon ask anybody in front of the Metropole,” asked the District. Attorney, “why Webber was running away + “9 did not,” was the answer. “Did you see one Lewis there?” asked Mr. Whitman. | “I saw lots of Lewises,” said “John the Barber,” wiping a wet fore- head nervously, “lots of them.” “Did you see Sam or Kid Lewis?” insisted the District-Attorney.” “Yes, sir,” said Retsler, “I did.” “Did you speak to Kid Lewis?” “I did.” FALTERS FLAT DENIAL OF TESTIMONY. “What did you say to him?” “I asked {f anybody had told Mrs, Rosenthal of the murder.” “Did you mention Webber's name to him?” ““Didn't you tell me,” you asked him why Webber was running away?” Retsler looked out over the court room. He eaw many *acowling, un friendjy faces. He caught the glare of a score of pairs of unfriendly eyes looking into his. 'N'n'n-0-0," he faltered. Mr. Whitman fluehed, then stamped his foot and turned to the Coroner. “I ask,” he said, “that Webber be held without bail. This defendant ts thé man who runs the gambling rooms where the murderers gathered and wheuce they went to the scene of the murder. He was seen by witnesses running from the scene of the murde: 4 Mr. Marshall made noisy objections. Mr. Whitman tuterrupted them to remind the Coroner that a Supreme Court Justice was on record to-day as declaring that the holding of Webber and Paul was justified. Coroner Feinberg announced that Webber was to be held unt!l Friday at 2 o'clock, and frankly explained that he took this action to give the District-Attorney time to get more witnesses, James M, Sullivan, counsel for Sam Pad}, consented to save time by | aseenting to the same conditions in Paul's case Mr. Whitman saw “John the Barber” edging his way rapidly out of the court room, “Stop that man!” he called to a court officer, him with perjury.” Reisler was arrested and, whiter and more perspiring and frightened- eyed than ever, was led to, the District-Attorney's office, where he was at once closeted with Mr. Whitman and Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, POLICE SEND OUT ALARM FOR MISSING THUGS, A general police alarm was sent out this afternoon for Sam Schepps, Louis Marks, alias “Lefty Loule;” Frank Muller, alias “Whitey Lewis;" Harry Horowitz, alias “Gyp the Blood,” and “Dago Frank” Murato, all mem- bers of east side gangs. These are the five men who, escaped from the Metropole in the Shapiro shooting car after the killing of Herman Rosenthal, and all of them stand accused of being the actual murderers, “Arrest him!

The decision in the Webber case was a blow to the Webber 4 fense, and gave the District-Attorney and his assistants new heart. The greatest fear has been that Web- ber, now ed of being the chief figure in the conspiracy leading to the killing of Rosenthal, might get out of the Tombs on bail. WEBBER LEADER OF CONSPIRA- TORS, SAYS PROSECUTOR. The line of accusation against Webber was made clear by Assistant District- Attorney Johnson in his argument be- fore Justice Glegerich, Said Mr, John- stone: “Here we have a conspiracy. Thig de- fendant figures as a leading figure in that conspiracy. “We have evidence that he acted as He went from his place of at Forty-second street and Sixth avenue, to the Metropole Hotei to see If Rosenthal was there. He re- turne@ to his place of business. Imme- diately upon his return three men left his place of business and rode to the Metropole !n an automobile. These are the three men who killed Rosenthal. They went away in the automobile which the conspirators had hired. 1 submit that this information alone, corroborated as it is by his own ad- missions, is sufficient to hold him.” Webber, who was smiling and con- fident when he entered the courtroom, lost his smile and confidence when he heard the order that he should be sent back to the Tombs. The courtroom was crowded with a typteal Bast Side crowd representing the worst elements in that crowded and harassed: section. On the faces of those who know Wevber was reflected the dismay felt by the chief | figure in the proceedings. BIG PRESSURE BROUGHT TO} MAKE WEBBER TELL ALL. With Webber safely in the ‘Tombs, continually under the eyes of the police | and the District-Attorney, fretting be- hind bars, Importuned by his wife and his relatives-who are not connected, save through relationship with him, with the underworld—the authorities feel as though they had an anchor to wind- ward as it were, The Grand Jury investigation into tho Rosenthal charges that police officers shared in gambling graft was resumed Joseph Immerman, a brother- Jaw of Rosenthal, supposedly in pos son of evidence to corroborate that which was given by the widow of the murdered gambler yesterday, was @ Grand Jury witness.

Mr, Whitman goes so far as to express the opinion that he actual murderers did not escape in the gray car, nearby hiding places. AWAIT ASSASSL DEMAND FOR MONEY. The hope of the police to finally round up the man or men who killed | Rosenthal and then work up to the persons who paid money to have the Assassination accomplished lies in the fact that there were so many in the plot, Thus far, while it is known that money was paid, the identity of the man who paid the money or the gang leader who received it has not been definitely fixed. : But a sum of money was passed es the price of Herman Rosenthal’s Ife. As a result of the crime, a score of desperadoes are hiding out In strange | places, remote from their favorite corners on the east side or in the Ten- derloin, Soon will come from these a cry for money, The first demands for expense money will probably be heeded, these demands will multiply and must in time be ignored. intelligence figures, the fugitives will begin to slink back to New York, but scurried Into and they can be picked up and sweated to the end that some of them will | reveal the secret now surrounding the removal of Herman Rosenthal from the activittes of the underworld EFFORTS TO FREE WERBER FAIL, Justi after dstening to argum the writ beas corpus sworn out on Mor neld Without bail on a charge of compiteity In the killing of Rosenthal.
