raham Glickstein, aged As, in his
Bedford avenue office last Satur-

lawyers representing her father
and husband last night, Mrs.
Raizen. who is 90 years old and the
wife of a toy manufacturer to whom
she was married last May, told her
story to District Attorney Harry
Lewis.

secrets of a life which she said had
been made nearly unbearable by
the physician, whose life she had
ended with bullet.

trust, she told the district attorney
and exercised a strange, but power

formally booked on homicide
charge and where she spent the
night.

that the defense would be based
on the contention that she was
mentally unbalanced.
