Detectives investigating the murder
of Dr.. Abraham L. Glickstein by
woman in his Office at 535 Bedford
Avenue, Brooklyn, Saturday evening,
brought to the Clymer Street police
station early this morning for exami-
nation by Captain Daniel Carey and
Assistant District Attorney Edward
Cooper, trained nurse whom DR..
Glickstein had examined in his pro-
fessional capacity when she applied
for service overseas in the war.
She is not under arrest, and the Of
ficials did not intimate that they
sought anything from her save in
formation, if she had it, concerning
women acquainted with the physician.
After DR.. Glickstein had certified her
for overseas service it is said that he
refused to accept fee, and the police
thought that the acquaintance which
originated thus might have placed the
young woman in DR.. Glickstein's con-
fidence.
Card Bore Her Name
They learned her name from a post
card which DR.. Glickstein received
from her while in France. 1t was said
that she had sent him medallion also
from France in recognition of the
friendly service he had rendered her.
1t was a. m. before the axamina-
tion of the witness in the police sta
tion was completed. She went home
with her husband, who had called for
her. Assistant District Attorney
Cooper said that he expected impor-
tant developments to-day, but declined
to say what, if anything, he had
learned from the nurse.
Captain Careys men questioned in
effectually yesterday two other women
they thought might have been able to
give some clew that would clear up the
mystery surrounding the murder. One
breach Of promise judgment for $4,000
against DR.. Glickstein many years ago
which he never paid. 1t was declared
he went through bankruptcy after the
judgment was rendered. Both the
women convinced the police they knew
nothing of the case. One had not seen
him, she said, for eight months, the
other for many years.
, Within short time after the body
of the physician reached his home from
the morgue last night long line of
lIlSilQn anu AClSuOO SdCHCIcQ III
front Of the house, all eager to view
the body. Reserves from the Clymer
! Street police station were sent to reg
ulate the crowd
Visitors were permitted to enter the
house in single file, pass by the casket
( and then out of the house. 1t was
estimated at 10 o'clock that at least
one thousand persons had viewed the
body.
No Finger Print Clews
AS tangible, though slight, clews
that may lead to the discovery of the
killer the police have worn scarf Of
dyed skunk and a new nickeled 32-cal
iber revolver bearing the number
226049. The weapon was busted with
aluminium powder at Police Headquar
ters in Manhattan yesterday Afternoon
in the hope of defining the finger prints
of the woman who did the shooting, bu
the experiment revealed that severa
other persons had handled it careless
ly after the murder and before it CAM
into the hands of the police.
The fur scarf, which had been mad
into crude sort of muff by basting, i
nondescript thing that might hav
belonged to any one of ten thousan'
women in moderate circumstances. Th
murderer used 1T TO conceal the revolve
as she entered DR.. Glicksteins Office
on the parlor floor of his home, an
fired the fatal shot without removing
the weapon from hole which had beel
poked in the lining.
There were theories in plenty to ac
count for the killing. Though d.
Glickstein was happily married and tn
father of three girls, the police con
sidered the possibility that the Grim
might have been the result of an oil
love affair. In 1913 he was arrested o
a charge of selling narcotics and serve
several months in the Federal peni
tentiary at Atlanta, being pardoned b.
President Wilson through the interces
sion of political friends. This led tn
detectives to inquire in underworld cir
cles about the possibility that his deaf
had been ordered by drug ring.
The remarkable thing about the mur
der appears to have been the calmnes
with which the woman executed it an
made her escape. She fired the shot
