searched Ginsberg's woman for thu
money she had taken, but could find nc
money on her. We then decided &c

took the money from him and compared
the serial numbers on the bills with
those which Detective Qui9 had written
down, and they proved identical"

witness whether he had testified to this
before. Thornton replied that he had
not. a. Ginsbcrg had pleaded guilty be

tilted to this at the trial Of Lillian
Rodgers. known as Ginsberg's wife.

tho National Surety Company. with
which former Mayor Smith is connect :

company had covered Ginsberg for tht
sun Of $4,000 at the request OF Their
New York Office. Information showed
