murders

Presumably Louie ad Gyp are the same as in www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2422667831/

NYTimes article of 9/18/12 talks about an investigation into who was helping conceal Louie and Gyp in an apartment at 765 Woodward Avenue in Brooklyn. Apparently some associates rented 3 apartments and furniture for each and L and G were arrested in one of these hide outs. They came to Woodward Ave after they returned from the Catskills (Parksville) where they had been previously. The newspaper reports suggest that there were several special investigations going on at once because of articles in the newspaper suggesting that some police officers were suppressing evidence (letters), perhaps because they were somehow involved in the murder. As complicated as "The Sopranos"!

TRYING TO FIND MEN WHO AIDED GUNMEN; Subpoenas Sent Out for Those Who Sold Furniture for Flats -Kramer's Activity Puzzling. September 18, 1912, Wednesday Justice Goff sitting as a Magistrate in charge of a John Doe inquiry, and Acting District Attorney Frank Moss continued their efforts yesterday to discover whether or not important evidence connected with the arrest of "Gyp the Blood" Horowitz and "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg had been suppressed by the police.

... his Wikipedia entry is fabulous... there are some in life who travel far and fast

Sounds like a 19th century version of Howard Hughes. “In 1868 Train was arrested while aboard the RMS Scotia in the port of Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland,[10] and held in custody. He had in his possession speeches he had given in the United States in defense of the Fenian cause of Irish independence. These documents were seized by a local magistrate. His release four days later was on condition that he disavow any intention of promoting Fenianism while in Ireland or England.” This article contains an amusing account of his arrest for Fenian sympathies headstuff.org/culture/history/1750ad-1900ad/george-franci... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Francis_Train

From that wiki:
He was also involved in the construction of a short-lived horse tramway in Cork, Ireland.:

Anglo-American Times of Saturday 22 February 1868 suggested that Blarney was a fitting venue for his speech

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN AT BLARNEY. A specimen of George F. Train's oratory will not be without interest to many of our readers. He delivered the following lecture at Blarney, where he evidently found himself as much at home as any native. It was at Dr. Barter's Hydropathic Establishment, St. Ann's Hill, the ostensible subject being "The Laws of Health." Mr. Train, however, disdained all the conventional rules of oratory, and indulged in humorous digressions, keeping his audience in continuous laughter. Besides the patients sojourning at the rural retreat there were several ladies and gentlemen from town, and a tolerable contingent of the village oi palloi were also admitted to the room.

He wasn't afraid of publicity - it was suggested at the time that his arrest at Cork was exactly what he wanted. A search for his name in the BNA returns more than 12,000 entries.

In 1873 there were reports in the press that he had been committed to a lunatic asylum. The readers of the Edinburgh Evening News on Thursday 12 June 1873 were put straight on the facts- "the balance of evidence was slightly in favour of his not being cracked" . But only slightly.
