Him Thief in Girls Eyes,
Then Refused to Retract

William Ginsberg, twenty eight-year-
Old war veteran, OF AZ South Fifth
Street, Brooklyn, charged with the
murder Of his employer Samuel Lubin,
one Of the owners Of the Lubin Monu-
ment Works, took the stand in his own
defense yesterday before Judge. Tai
ley and jury in General Sessions, and
described in detail the events which
led up to the killing of Lubin on No.
vcmber 2S last.
Ginsberg said that he mad collected
$l6o from Il customer which he failed
to turn in TO the firm. Instead he ap-
pllcd the money toward a setting for
diamond which he had purchased
rom Lubin. The diamond. set in the
ring, was then given to his fancee,
anna Rosenthal. OF 100 Nostrand
Avenue. Brooklyn. Later. Ginsberg
sald. I1bin went to the home of Miss
Rosenthal and told her that the dia-
'Aoua was stolen and that Ginsberg
was chief
Gnsberg resented this remark, which
had caused break between him and
Miss Roscnthal, and went to Lubins
Office and demanded that he go with
him to Miss Rosenthal's home and tell
h1r that he was honest This, accord
ing to Ginsbcrg, Lubn refused to do.
~ told MIN he would either go
there or would take him there at
the point Of gun" Ginsbcrg said.
81 pointed a gun at him and he laughed
at mo. He told me | was too yellow
to shoot and too big a coward He
barred his breast and kept laughing at
me and then did it."
"Did what?" asked Assistant District
Attorney James E. Mcdonald.
'Shot him." replied Ginsberg
Following the shooting Ginsberg fled
from the Office in taXicab and gave
himself up to the police. On the way
10 the police station he stopped at a
stationery store and wrote letter to
Miss Rosenthal telling her about the
shooting. This letter was read into
the evidence.
Miss Rosenthal, who, it is expected,
will be called as witness to-day, told
reporters that she was sorry that she
had not married Ginsberg. She said
she felt that if she had done SO Lubin
would not have been killed.

Citizens Union
Sues TO Gust Lahcv
From oIicc Post
Charges He Was Ineligible
to lnspcctorslaip When He
Resigned as Captain; Cites
Decision in Enright Case

Following decision by the Appel
late Division in an action brourht NV
Colonel William Jay SchicTclin. chair
man OF the Citizens Union against Po-
hcc Commissioner Enright, Colonel
SchicHelin applied to the Supreme
Court yesterday for an Injunction pre
venting Chief Inspector William 7
Lahey from continuing in that rank in
the Police Department or in any other
rank in the uniformed force.
1T is the contention of the petitioner
thot IN January. 1918. when Lahev. at
'nat time a captain, accepted the Office
OF Deputy Police Commissioner he
ceased to be a member OF the force and
was not elig'ble for reappointmcnt as
Inspector or chief inspector.
Colonel Schietfclin is encouraged in
his stand with regard to Chief lnspec-
tor Lahey By the Appellate Division
decision in an action to restrain Com
missioner Enright from collecting a
pension az retired Lieutenant. which
rank he held when appointed commits
sioner.
Justice Grcenbaum who wrote The
opinion of the court, intmated that
Mayor Hylan was not within his now
ers when he granted EnriGht n leave
OF absence from his JOB of lieutenant
and that the Commissioner ceased In
be member of the uniformed force
when he took the higher Office. jus
tlce Greenbaum also quoted Section
2al Of the greater New York charter
which reads: "Any police commits
sioner, or any member of The police
force, who shall, after qualifying in
once, accept any additional place Of
public trust or cmolument shall
he in either case deemed thereby to
have resigned his commission and to
have vacated his office
This holding by the Appellate Divi-
sion that Enright could not be com
missioner and lieutenant at the same
time is now applied to the case of
Lnhcy by Colonel Schiehelin
Commissioner Enrght. COMPTROLLER
Craig and the Municipal Civil Service
Commission arc named as defendants
with lahey. The Citizens Union is
sued statement. saying: "The pres
cnt action is brought both because il
is vital that the law governing the
police force shall be strictly followed
and because of the belief that the
cause of law and order in this city
will be promoted if some one better
qualiiied is clothed with Mr.. Lahey's
great power as chief inspector Of the
police force"

Residence and Confiscatc
IS Gallons of Moonsbine

Prohibition agents "crackcd" two
moonshine stills yesterday or the
fourth and top floors of the old brown
stone residence at % West Thirty
ninth Street. A large quantity of ma
chinory, mash, alcohol and other prod
ucts was seized.
One of the stills was Of thirty gallon
capacity, the other of ten. Both
were in operation when the raid
ers entered. In the rading party
were Agents Weisenberg Sassi and
Atkinson, who arrested Frank Kines. u
chemist, and Mrs. Martha Kines, his
wife, who. it is charged, holds the
lease on the place. Kines admitted
owning and operating the stills, accord
ing to the agents, but absolved his wife
from knowledge of his occupation, as
serting that though he lived under the
same roof with her they were sep
arated as husband and wife, having
agreed to separation some months
ago.
Agent Wicscnberg charges that sew
eral days ago he purchased a mint Of
moonshlne whisky from Mrs. Kines on
the premises, where she conducts a
roomlng house on the two top floors
The street floor is occupied by the
Florodora Tea Room and the second
floor by the New York Millinery Clear
ing House.
Chief City Enforcement Officer Chris
fortmann was not able to say posi-
lively last night who owned the prop
crty where the stills were found. The
agents making the arrest said that
they were satisfied the owner knew
nothing of the purpose for which TOP
floor of the building was being used
Besides Mrs. Kines. another and a
younger woman was found in the build
ing when the raid was made. She said
she was a telephone operator employed
at the downtown hotel. She was
permitted to go after she had been
questioned. Among the seizures were:
Nine barrels of mash, 75 gallons Of
whisky, 10 gross bottles, stills, 1 bar
rel Of prune juice and three bottles Of
coloring matter.
the plea of Daniel Gurich of 272
Delaney Street, yesterday that he was
cripple and could not live without
whisky, did not deter Magistrate
George W. Simpson from holding the
accused in 81 900 bond on q charge of
operating still. The still was small
