Two Physicians and Nurse Ar

CONFESSION BY ONE DOCTOR
"House of Mystery" in Bellevue, Pa.,
Raided by County Prosecutor Jack-
ton Dorothy Arnold Is Mentioned.
That the mystery concerning tin
disappearance of several women wil.
be explained District Attorney R. H
Jackson of Allegheny county, Pa., be
lleves will result from a raid made by
county detectives on a house on thf
outskirts of Bellevue, Pittsburg sub
urb, which for three years has bepr
known as "The House" of Mystery.'
Three persons "were arrested in con
nectlon with the case and severa
more, District Attorney Jackson says
will be apprehended. '
Those now under arrest are Pr. C
0. Meredith, with offices In : thf
Schmidt building. Fifth ' avenue'; Dr,
H. E. Lutz, with offices' in the;Penn
building, Penn avenue, and Miss" Lucy
Dorothy Orr, alias .Lucy Dorothy
Damnis, a rtursp. and alleged partnei
of Dr. Meredftll. '
Ball bonds aggregating $22,000 were
furnished and the release Obtained of
the trio. Later Dr. Meredith and Miss
Orr were rearrested on the charge
of murder.
In-a sworn-affidavit made befo
District Attorney U. H. Jackson, after
his arrest, Dr. H. E. Lutz said in parL:
"About the middle of March, 191H,
Mrs. Myrtle Allison applied for atten
tion at my office on the second floor
of the Penn building on Penn avenue
and collapsed. On examination I saw-
that she was suffering from the ef
fects of an operation.
"I asked her who had performed the
operation and In the presence of my
nurse and another physician she made
an ante-mortem statement charging
Dr. C. C. Meredith with performing
the operation.
'After a great deal of difficulty I
succeeded in reaching Dr. Meredith
by telephone. I told him that the wo
man's condition was very precarious
and said that he must come at once
and take her away. He did.
About two- weeks later I met Dr.
Meredith . again. When I told him
what a dangerous game It was he ws
playing he said that he never was
worried about It. He said: 'There
was a certain party from New York,
who was traced as far as my office
but no farther. It was Dorothy
Arnold.' By his actions he Intimated
that she was his patient."
Concerning evidence In his posses
sion District Attorney Jackson said:
"I know that this house was kept
for the sole purpose of committing
unprofessional operations; I know that
Dr. C. C. Meredith ran that house; I
know that the Allison woman disap
peared completely a year ago, and
that the last seen of her alive was
when she was being taken from the
office of Dr. Lutz in a covered wagon;
I know that he said later she was
gone; I know that, when questioned
about how she went. Dr. Meredith said
he hud a furnace tn Bellevue big
enough for anything."

FOUR GUNMEN
ELECTROCUTED
Expiate in Chair Murder ol
Gambler Rosenthal
CONFESSION BY 'DAGO FRANK'
Vallon, Horowitz and Rosenberg Flreo
. Shots That Killed Rosenthal, Say'l
Ciroflci Lewis' Gun Missed Fire
The four gunmen convicted of th
death of Herman Rosenthal the gum
bier, were put to death in the elec
trie chair In Sing Sing prison, New
York.
It required Just thirty-nine minuter
to execute the gunmen, who went t(
their death In this order:
Frank Ciroflci, alias "Dago Frank:''
Jacob Seldenschner, alias "Frank
Mueller" and "Whltey Lewis;" Harr
Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood," am;
Louis Rosenberg, alias "Lefty Louie."
"Dago Frank" at the eleventh hoin
made a confession, but It did not kei
him from the electric chair.
Ciroflci would have confessed sev
eral days ago, but for the fact thai
he had been terrorized by the othei
three gunmen with threats of death ic
his mother and sister if he told any
thing. The gunmen were fearful lest
he should tell and communicated tc
him these threats.
Once when Father Cashin was
talking to Ciroflci he heard the three
other gunmen talking in Jewish. The
priest understood the language and
heard Gyp say: "Frank Is going tc
pieces; he's telling on the rest of us.'
Warden Clancy, knowing that Clro
flcl was terrorized, brought him from
the cell to the office of the keepei
where he made his confession.
Warden Clancy pointed out thai
Ciroflci really thought he was Inno
cent because he did not take part In
the actual shooting.
Whltey Lewis thought he was In
nocent because he did not fire a shot
Briefly Ciroflci declared:
The four of them were hired not to
kill Herman Rosenthal but John
Langer, or "Dollar John," a gamblei
who was about to corroborate the
statement made by Rosenthal to At
torney Whitman. Rosenthal had shot
his bolt and they were to prevent an
harder blows.
The four Journeyed to Rockaway In
an auto early on the evening of July
15 to kill "Dollar John." They met
him, but It was in a situation where
It was impossible for them to do what
they were sent to do.
They rode first to a cafe In Second
avenue, from v.-here he (Ciroflci) went
to his home i.t 145th street and 7th
avenue. Later he was awakened bv
a whistle which took him to the win
dow. He saw on the sidewalk, "Jack
Rose, Harry Vallon and Sam Scheppa
who told lilm the other boys wcro
waiting for him at Brldgie Webber's
poker room.
He was informed there by "Gyp the
Blood" that there was something
else to be done. Rose and Vallon were
present. .
Brldgie Webler came In to say that
the was at the Metropole.
"Lefty Louie" told him it was to be
Herman Rosenthal, the man who had
squealed.
On the sidewalk a messenger
whispered to him that Jean Gordon,
his girl companion, was under arrest
uptown whereupon he left the party.
Later that morning the three men
came to his Hat, where they talked
bout the murder and told him that
Harry Vallon had fired one shot, but
that Whltey Lewis had been entirely
useless because his gun had missed
fire.
The following day he "received one-
fourth of $1,000 for the murder.
Supplementing all this was a re
mark dropped four days ago by Rosen-
burg, the most Intelligent and the
leader of the quartet, that Frank was
not present at the killing and Whltey
Lewis had not shot for a very Rood
reason.

LODGE ADMITS
RIGHT TO EXEMPT
But Senator Urges Wilson Policy
o! Tolls Repeal
Hearing on the I'anama tolls ex
emption repeal bill opened before tin
senate canals committee, but interest
in the repeal fight was focused on the
senate Itself, where Senator Lodge,
veteran Republican member of the for
eign relations committee, held the ut
tentlon of virtually the entire mem
berslilp and of crowded galleries for
more than two hours, defending the
position of President Wilson in insist
Ing upon the passage of the- repeal
bill.
The senator spoke without a single
interruption. He declared that In his
opinion the right of the United Slates
to exempt any of Its shipping from
tolls was unquestioned under strict In
terpretation of the treaty, but hecause
of the delicate position In which the
country finds Itself In Its foreign re
lations urged nonpartisan support of
the president.
"To thwart the purposes or to dn
credit the policies of the head of a
political party," he declared. "Is legiti
mate political warfare. To discredit
or break down thu president of the
United Stufps upon n question of for
eign policy is quito another tiling, not
to be undertaken except for the very
gravest reason. In one case we over
throw a party leader within that arena
where the American people alone sit
In Judgment; In the other we break
down and discredit the, representative
of the whole country In the great
forum of the nations of the earth and
paralyze his future power and useful
ness in that field where he alone can
declare and represent the policy, the
honor and the dignity of the United
States."
