New York, Dec. 14-Pleading 8
years of suffering as her justification,
Mrs. Charles Raisen today faced ar
rignment in Brooklyn court on
charges of killing DR.. Abraham Click
stein, aged As, in his Bedford avenue
office last Saturday Surrendered to
the police by her husband last night.
Mrs. Raisen, 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.
With dry eyes and an air of self con-
troll superior to that of any of her
auditors she revealed the secrets of
a life that she said had been made
nearly unbearable by the physician
whose life she had ended with a bull
let.
She had known, Glickstein, she said,
most of her life. He was her family's
general practitioner in the Lower
East Side of Manhattan where she,
then Lillian Schafer, and her parents
as we'll as Glickstein, lived.
He had her implicit trust, she told
the district attorney, and exercised a
strange but powerful influence over
her. a sort of magnetic influence as
she described it.
Mrs. Raisen said she struggled to
break the hold the physician had on
her life. A year ago she thought she
had succeeded The relationship
which. she said, had been against her
WILL ended about a year ago and she
thought she was free. Then, on the
eve of her marriage to Raisen, she
said, Glickstein renewed his advances
and attacked her in the office where
on Saturday. with the memory of her
injuries torturing her, she ended his
life.
She escaped that time, she said,
and went ahead with her trousseau
and in May was married. On her
honeymoon, she said, she cofessed all
| to her husband and he tried to con-
sole her; told her to try and forget it.
But to forget. she declared, was i'm
possible. The shadowed past became
violent, tormenting obsession that
undermined her health. Finally on
the advice of physician, she went to
Florida, and in Jacksonville, still un-
able to find peace, she bought the ia
tai pistol. The she came north
sought out the object of her fears, and
shot him through the heart.
Leaving the house in which Click
stein was dying, she took train tC
Manhattan, called her father on the
telephone, and told him what she had
done. The recital ended, Mrs. Raiser
left the district attorneys office with
two policemen who took her to a po.
lice static, where she was formally
booked on a homicide charge an6
where she spent the night
Before the arraignment, Aaron w
Levy, one of the two attorneys who
accompanied her to the prosecutor
office last night, indicated that the
defense would be based on the con
tention that she was mentally unbal
anced. The physician who advised
the southern trip, DR.. Samuel A. Tan
Inenbaum, came to the defense of his
patient with the statement that hel
mentality was mot normal"
"Her act was undoubtedly that o.
an insane woman" he said IL has
hoped the change of environment
brought about by her trip to Florid,
would help her, but apparently it die
