| NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-Relatives of
DR.. Abraham Glickstein, slain Brook
lyn physician today denied that he had
exercised hypnotic control over Mrs.
Lillian S. Raizen. Harry Willing, his
| son-in-law. said that, instead of seek.
ing Mrs. Raizen and mesmerizIng her,
she had been chasing the doctor" He
added:
THE doctor Is dead, and therefore
he cannot speak. We will speak for
him. We are forming a memorial as
ISOLATION to keep green his memory.
We will startle the public II this case
goes to trial
1--WE will reveal evidence against
Mrs. Raizen, 1t appears that some
persons have been depicting her as
an angel on earth. but they are ignor-
ant of the facts. Mrs. Raizen has
stated that the doctor had a hypnotic
control over her. This is ridiculous.
We never knew that the doctor knew
anything OF hyponotism. The fact IL
that IL was the other way. Mrs.
Raizen had been chasing the DOCTOR"
Willing asserted that Mrs. Raizen
had given DIR. Gli"kstein a diamond
ring valued at 81, $40. 1t was return
ed Immediately, he said, through Dir,
Friedlander. Willing continued:
For years she had been bringing
Alexander Brothers, where she was
q bookkeeper. She killed DIR. Click
stein because he refused to desert his
wife and family. He had told DIR.
Emanuel Buchtler, of 324 Roebling
street, that she wanted him to fol-
low the example of a certain vice
chancellor, who had one wife in Con-
recticut and another in New Jersey
She made this suggestion to the doc
tor, and he told her to get out, as she
was crazy"
Mrs. Glickstein, the widow, called
attention to a statement attributed
to Miss Sadie Schaffer, sister of Mrs.
Raizen. The widow said:
Il noticed that the statement says
that the doctor attacked the girl when
she was only sixteen. That is false.
The girl was locked up fourteen years
ago on a charge of disorderly conduct
In Chinese laundry. Ten years ago
she called the doctor up and wanted
him to take her up. The doctor and
told her to get off the telephone and
go home, or / would tell her parents
and she would get a spanking"
Mrs. Glickstein said she had re-
ceived two postcard announcements of
Mrs. Raizen's marriage. She also de-
MED that Mrs. Raizen was summoned
to DR.. Glickstein's offices three weeks
before the wedding and was attacked.

of her five infant children.
The domestic difficulties of the
family first came to light back In
August, when Wachter was given Is
lashes on his back after ne had been
convicted of beating his wife. Imme-
diately after the whipping, Wachter
went back to his wife and for
while 1t seemed as though the carry
ing out of the sentence had been of
good result.
Wachter however, returned to his
former mode of living. He learned
ing to institute divorce proceedings.
He then consulted an attorney and
gave a deed of trust.
Afterwards the attorneys on both
sides agreed on a compromise. By
the terms of this 1t was understood
Wachter was to pay his wife $1,000,
and give her four fat hogs, a dozen
chickens and practically all OF the
furniture 1t ia said the Mrs. wach-

PRESENTS FOR THE KING.

to surprises for ne say SO many f&of
them that he couldn't help it. What
do you think he saw when he looked
he had been SO greatly interested In
what Lady Duck was telling him
about the way it happened-that is,
the way that they caught the Cotton
'Mice-that he did not even think it
possible that anyone else was rear.
But there were a great many crea-
lures about him when he, turned from
hearing the story Of the capture.
well, what is this I see before
me?" he cried. Il w saw such a
sight before. Why, there are dozens
of those creatures, but where in all
the world did they come from? Look,
there are still more coming"
This wasn't a dream either. 1t was
true. There were dozens of them
where. Each n had in his arm a
bundle.
"Quack, quack." said Lady Duck.
"That is the way they looked when 1
saw the first time, only they
didn't, have any bundles"
Sure enough, they were all MEM
bers of the tribe of Cotton Mice and
they were all marching to see. the
King. What does all this. mean?"
asked Tinker Bob of Mr.. Mouse. who
seemed to be the leader Of the tribe.
These" said Mr.. Mouse, ARE all
members of my tribe and they are
coming to bring you each a present
from their home in the cottonfeld."
Tinker Bob sat down on a large
stone, and the tribe Of Cotton Mice
gathered about him. First came the
| queen, and in her arms was a bundle.
She climbed Upon the Kings knee
and laid it in his hand. Then she
climbed upon the Kings shoulder,
and there she stood till all. Of the
creatures saw her and then she spoke
to them.
Come now and give the King of
the Forest your presents, that he may
know the tribe of Cotton Mice. Come
and climb upon the Kings knee and
show him that we are not afraid
