Cab Driver Confirms
Story Of Rubinsiein
Visit 10 Night Club
b. shs Assoeiuisd pssss

~ We A110Ct0ioo rsDa4
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The
cab driver who drove Serge
Rubinstein home the night he
was murdered came forward this
morning. but his story did little
to solve the mystery Of the
draft-dodging financier's death.
Cabbie Ernest La Medica. 53,
said he did not know police had
been looking for him since
Rubinstein was killed Thursday.
Mr.. La Medica confirmed the
night-clubbing story told by Miss
Estelle Gardner, one Of Rubin
STEMS circle Of beautiful wom-
en- friends.
Drove Them to Mansion.
Mr.. La Medica said he picked
up Rubinstein and a girl at q
swank Manhattan night club
between I and 1880 am. and
drove them a few blocks to
Rubinstein's lavish Fifth avenue
mansion.
He said Rubinstein borrowed a
quarter from him to tip the
club doorman and paid it back
when he changed SIS bill for
him at the destination.
Meanwhile, it was disclosed
that neither Miss Gardner nor
any of the other numerous young
girls who paraded through Ru-
binstein's life was remembered
in his will.
His mother and his two daugh-
tiers are the principal inheritors
to his $40 million fortune, the
New York Journal-American said
today.
Mother to Get Income.
His mother, Mrs. Stella Ru-
binsteih, 78, will get the income
from a trust fund until her
death, when the fund will go to
his daughters, Diana Q, and
Alexandra, 8. The children live
in Palos Verdes, Calf, with their
mother, the former Laurette Kill
born, who divorced Rubinstein
In 1949 and is now the wife Of
Jonathan Lochhead, q gambling
club owner.
The will is to be read ton1or-
row by one of the executors,
Edward Ennis, a lawyer.
The search for the person who
bound. gagged and strangled
Rubinstein continued with few
good clues. police admitted.
Mystery Girl Seen.
The best Of these concerned a
mystery girl, dressed in brown.
reported wandering around his
house some hours before Rubin
stein was killed. and angry voices
overheard in his room.
Both Rubinstein's mother and
aunt told of seeing the girl, po-
lice disclosed yesterday, but so
far they have turned up no hint
as to who she might be.
While police have been fol-
lowing UP all possible angles of
Rubinstein's social and business
life, the slain mans body has
been on view for two days at q
Manhattan funeral home.
He is to be buried today after
Jewish funeral services.
1t was at the funeral home
that Rubinstein's mother dis
closed she had heard angry
voices arguing in her sons rooms
shortly before he was killed. Mrs.
Rubinstein lived on the fourth
floor of her sons Fifth avenue
mansion, one floor above the bed
room in. which he was strangled
to death.
Sees "Girl in Brown"
The "girl in brown" was seen
by Mrs. Rubinstein some time
before the noisy quarreling,
| police said.
Mrs. Rubinstein had gone into
the hallway to check on q noise,
and had seen the girl on the
stairway.
Since Rubinstein often enter

neither Mrs. Rubinstein nor his
aunt, Mrs Eugenia Forester, 81,

The result is several individual

There is a spirited soubrette,
