cumstances point strongly as the murderer OF
Sarah Alexander, was yesterday committed to
the Raymond street jail lie spent Wednesday
night In the washlnston street (irooklyn) police
station. The oIlcer who paced the corridor in
front of tho prison cr's cell says that Rubenstein
did not sleep. Almost as soon as the key was
turned on him he called for witer, and when II
WAS given to him he turned his face toward the
east and postured and calculated prayers. Two
or three times while he sought sleep on the
wooden bench that does duty for bed, his first
forgetfulness seemed 10 be broken by borrid
visions. lie lenped suddenly to tho loOr, cover
ing his eyes with bis hands. Then he resumed
his prayers and posturlngs. In the morning
detectives questioned him, but he seemingly
had resolved upon the policy OF silence. He
nodded, shrugged his shoulders, and OCCASION
ally said, 81 don't know" At that time no
friend or counsel was permitted to speak to
him. and the good policy Of their exclusion was
afterward seen In his contradictions OF the
storios Of ofrcious friends.
