gree and was under 500 bail for trial. She was
called to plead yesterday. and well-dressed young
woman about twenty-one years old stepped up to
the bar and said she was Rebecca Levine. She de-
clared that she indicted for assault There
was some suspicion that an attempt at substitution
would be made. Policeman Norris Cohen. OF the
Edrldge-st station, happened to be in another part
OF General Sessions, and he sent for. He had
arrested Rebecca Levine on the assault charge. and
when he saw the woman in Part he declared she
was not the genuine Rebecca Levine The girl de-
clared that she was, and that her bondsman was
Jacob Godsten, Of No. Z Ludlow-st. When she was
asked about her pedigree she gave entirely different
answers from those on the police court papers.
