 Circumstantiial evidence pointing to his guilt was put together, piece by piece, tin it seemed certain from the police point of view, that he would be convicted, and he was about to be put on trial
  Boston pawning a piece of Mrs. Hull's jewelry, and being confronted with a mass of evidence which the police overlooked, confessed the crime. An Innocent Man Dies. Some thirty years ago girl named Sara Alexander was murdered in an open field not far from Astoria, l.. l. The knife with which she was killed ' and an overcoat belonging to Pesach Rubinstein were found near the ferry. Rubinstein had been her lover. His shoes fitted in footprints that were | found.

But. as it became evi- dent that the disclosures that would be made were likely to prove embarrassing to certain people of importance in the political world, the investigation was discontinued. The various individuals who were suspected. including three who were arrested. went scot free and the case was dropped
