TWO MORE HELD
AS_PRINCIPALS
"Bridgie" Webber and "Sam" Paul Arrested
?Murder Plot Perfected at Gambler's
Place, Says Dougherty.
TRA1L NO CLOSER TO BECKER
"Jack" Sullivan, Whom Lieutenant Dropped from Car
at Forty-Second Street, Apprehended as Material
Witness?Men Who Actually Did Shooting
Are Out of City, Deputy Declares.
Three more arrests were made last night in the murder of Her
man Rosenthal. Two of the prisoners?"Bridgie" Webber and
"Sam" Paul?were charged with homicide. "Jack" Sullivan, whom
Lieutenant Charles Becker brought uptown in his car and dropped
at Sixth avenue and 42d street a few minutes before the shooting,
jwas held as a material witness. With William Shapiro and Louis
! Libby, the chauffeurs, and "Bald Jack" Rose, the gambler, this
i makes five men under arrest. charged with being principals in the
; crime.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty admitted after the arrests
last night that the police had not yet got one of the four men who
were in the Libby car and were the actual assassins.
"These arrests don't mean that we have cleared up the case by
a long shot." said the deputy, "but it does mean very material
progress."
Sullivan appeats to have been with a busy go-between among
the men whom the police are connecting with the crime. Though
Dougherty said that no new evidence against Lieutenant Becker
had developed within the last twenty-four hours, Sullivan and Becker
h-.ve both admitted that they were together for some time the iatter
part of Monday evening and up to within a few minutes of the
shooting.
Dougherty said he had a good deal more evidence against
Webber and Paul to show that they had an actual hand in the plot
ting of the crime than he could divulge at this time. He declared.
however. that all three of the prisoners were known to have been in
"Bridgie" Webber's poker room, in Sixth avenue. near 42d street.
within half an hour of the shooting.
"The men who got into the car and went over to the Metropole
and did the shooting started from Webber"s place." said Dougherty.
"The final plans were undoubtedly mapped out there. and we expect
to arrest more persons who were in Webber's that night."
Sullivan is said to have gone into Webber's shortly before 2
o'clock. directly from Lieutenant Becker's car. Becker, said that he
went on up home to 165th street and Edgecombe avenue after drop
ping Sullivan. Sullivan corroborated Becker in that statement.
"Does the evidence you have obtained in the last twenty-four
hours point more directly to Lieutenant Becker's connection with
the Rosenthal case?" Dougherty was asked.
"No. it doesn't." was the replv.
"Does the evidence on which you are holding these men lear'
awav from Becker?"
"No. I wouldn't say that." he replied.
Dougherty said he tirst got the names of the men in the Libby
car from Rose. and that Paul and Webber had practically completed
the identification.
The deputy intimated that the men who fired the shots which
killed Rosenthal had got out of the city. He said. however. that he
expected to get them all soon.
"Jimmy" Kelly, proprietor of the Cafe Mandarin. in Doycrs
street. and described as the close friend of Lieutenant Becker, wa'>
closeted with Dougherty early this morning. as was another man
v/hose identity was not disclosed.
