Bain News Service photograph dated 26 November 1912 of the men convicted of killing Herman Rosenthal on their way to Sing Sing. The title names none of them. A copy is stored here.

The Library of Congress titles this Bain News Service photograph "Gunmen going to Sing Sing" and dates it 26 November 1912. The Library's summary says the men were convicted of killing Herman Rosenthal and were on their way to Sing Sing prison at Ossining, New York.

The title does not name the men, and this page does not attach names to the figures in the frame. Two related Bain frames of the same case, [Charles Becker](/items/loc-2014690729-charles-becker-sing-sing-1912/) and ["Whitey" Lewis](/items/loc-2014691229-whitey-lewis-sing-sing-1912/), are filed separately under their own titles. The case predates Prohibition and is context for the New York scenes on this page, not a record of organized crime in the sense of the Mob Files sources.
