Governors denial seals Rosenthal killers in Sing Sing
Four gunmen convicted in the 1912 Herman Rosenthal murder await execution at Sing Sing after Governor Glynn refused a reprieve. The Court of Appeals denied a new trial for Becker and set the date for the death sentence to be carried out next week. The condemned, including Dago Frank, Gyp the Blood, Lefty Louie, and Whitey Lewis, faced the electric chair as families reacted with grief and resolve. District Attorney Whitman praised the ruling as wise and just, underscoring justice over mercy.
