Court Awaits Report of Commission That
Has Been Examining WOman's
Sanity.

NEW YORK. April 24.-Trial of Mrs.
Lillian Raizen, charged with the murder
Of DR.. Abraham Glickstcin in his Brook
lyn office, has been indefinitely postponed
pending the report OF a commission which
has been examining her sanity, District
Attorney RuStOn announced today.
The case is a sequel TO tragedy that
already has cost three lives.
1t is the case OF Mrs. Lillian RaizeH,
who shot Dr. Abraham Giickstein,
Brooklyn physician, to death in his office
last December. 1t follows close on the
neels OF the trial OF Miss Olivia NJ. p.
Stone, graduate nurse. who recently was
acquitted of a charge of numbering Ellis
u. kinkead, former corporation counsel
Of Cincinnati, in Brooklyn last fall.
Indeed, the cases have points OF sim
llarity
In both cases, the defendants have
told a tale of betrayal at the hand of
he man they Killed. In both cases a de
tense of insanity was made or indicated
In both cases Il triangle existed
4 cellmate of Miss stone 5 ia the
Raymond street Jail. Mrs. Raizen fol
lowed closely every move in the Kin
Eead case: and at night the two women
would sit up late chatting over details
of the, trial
Another point at which the cases
crossed trails came shortly after the
acquittal of NJ IS Stone, when Mrs.
Anna Glickstein, the physician $ widow
leaped to her death from a window in
her home.
:. ANY woman can commit murder
now, Mrs. Glickstein said before she
killed herself. especially a woman like
Mrs. Raizen. She will be freed, too All
she will have to do is to say She was
insane. -
