WOMAN ADMITS KILLING DOCTOR New York, Dec. 13.?Mrs. Lillian Ruizen, wife of a Brooklyn toy manufacturer, confessed tonight, District Attorney Lewis of Brooklyn said, that she killed Dr. Abraham Glickstein at his (Office on Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, t Saturday evening because he attempted to assault her on the eve cf her wedding last May. Owing to the woman's highly nervous condition, the district attorney questioned her only briefly and held her withojt bail for further examination tomorrow. Mrs. 11 <n, who is 29 years old, told the u.-crict attorney that she had known Dr. Glickstein for about eight years and that she had been "under his influence" most of that time. About a year ago, she said, she succeeded in breaking the relationship. While buying her wedding trousseau last spring Mrs. Raizen said Dr. Glickstein telephoned her and asked her to come to his office. Believing that his only intention was to apologize for his past conduct, she said sne caiicu upon the doctor, who, she told the district attorney, made an iniproper proposal and then tried to attack her, but she resisted him and left his house in great mental distress. A few days later, Mrs. Raizen was married. While on her honeymoon, she said, she told her husband of the treatment she had suffered from the physician. Iler husband forgave her, she added, and urged her to banish the past from her mind. She declared, however, that the experience in Dr. Glickstein's office shortly before her wedding "went to her head" and for three months she was under the care of a physician who recommended a change of climate for her nervous condition. She went to Daytona, Fla., and la'-er to Jacksonville, where she bought the weapon with which Dr. Glickstein was killed. Mrs. Raizen said she returned to New York secretary Friday night without the knowledge of her father, Jack Schauffer, a Brooklyn tinware mansfacthrer, or any of her friends, and engaged a room in a New York hotel. She brooded constantly, she said, and finally on Saturday afternoon started for Dr. Glickstein's home in Brooklyn. After the shooting Mrs. Raizen said she left the house in a daze and walked the streets. She returned to Manhattan and met friends, then she telephoned her father in Brooklyn what she had done. Mrs. Raizen did not see her father and her husband until Sunday, when attorneys were caHed in for consultation and they advised immediate surrender-to the-diafcrlat-attornay, Aaron Levy, one of the attorneys engaged to defend Mrs. Raizen, declared she was mentally unbalanced, indicating that the defense would be based on insanity.

Mr. Morse's statement said: "I have read as carefully as the lime has permitted the charges formulated in the complaint and will say in regard to them: "1. They are so nebulous and false and lack any definite statements it is! impossible for me to deny specifically but I have no hesitancy in saying that in so far as I have any knowledge there were no false statements made, neither were there any false vouchers \ presented to the fleet corporation by the Virginia Ship Building company. "2. Further, the only definite charge made was on the 16th day of July, 1919, a statement made to the full Shipping Board Emergency Fleet corporation by the Virginia corporation through its officers, Mr. C. H. Livingstone, its president; Mr. Martin, its treasurer; Mr. Cristy, its auditor, and its counsel, Messrs. Gibboney, Scott and Gordon, and at which my son, E. A.

Another load caused a minor abdominal wound. Neither the | wound in the face nor the abdomen are serious, but his right arm was almost torn to pieces by the third load, lie was reported a* resting comfortably at the hospital last night and physicians were hopeful that his arm and hand might be saved despite the ugly wound.

Owing to the very bad weather, only Mr. Whitmire and his comrade, Capt. M. M. Buford. of Newberry, could attend. Captain Buford made the day enjoyable, mi ij gled with many merry jokes and war tales of experiences witnessed by ' these two honorable men. The hardships of warfare, who had j stood side by side, stood on picket, i never separated for any great while , at a time. Their experiences were great. Captain Buford made the trip from Newberry in a Buick driven by his grandson, ivlr. Pope Connelly, via Clinton, Cross Anchor, Cross Keys, despite the heavy rain, returning \ in Union and Whitmire. We were delighted to find this excellent, honorable gentleman in such high spirits, well and active. Mr. Buford in his conversation did not want to take any honors as to his bravery, level-headedness. llis thriftness, how he could work the slight of hand with the chickens and other good things to held feed his hungry vets. Even remarked that he was not a "brave man," "just ambitious." This was denied by one who had known him ail through his career. "A braver, morei noble, splendid soldier never shoul dered a pun. If he had been in the world war he would have been deeorated with many lovely medals for i the many things he did. We must mention two other close friends that added much to the enjoyment of this day: Mr. W. Y. Dillard of Cross Anchor and Mr. El HulY of Enoree.

The time passed all too short. Only one thing saddened the day, and thai was the saying "good bye", which caused brave men to quiwor with tears in their eyes. The day can't come too soon for a reunion to ho held attain with us. "R. B."
