HOLD PARTNER OF VICTIM IN ‘BOAT’MURDER Two Youths Confess They Rowed Calmly Away From Death Scene. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. I.—Three principals in the Brooklyn "rowboat” murder, which in some phases resembles the famous Snyder-Gray slaying last spring, v/ere to be arraigned in homicide court today. Police have formally charged Joseph Lefkowitz, 42, with plotting the drowning of Benjamin Goldstein, a younger business associate, over whom he is said to have cast a hypnotic “spell.” Lefkowitz, who had 22-year-old Goldstein’s life insured for $70,000, with double indemnity in case of accidental death, has been locked up in cell adjoining those of two youths Who confessed he had paid them $250 and a suit of clothes to keep their mouths shut. Ignore Cries For Mercy These two youths, friends of the victim, rowed calmly away after pushing Goldstein from a rowboat into Gravesend bay and ignoring his cries for mercy, according to their confessions. The death occurred last Thursday, but the body washed ashore Wednesday. From the proceeds of his share, Irving Rublnsahl, 22, helped his “girl who needed money.” Rubinsahl was locked up after Harry Greenberg, 17, the third member of the fatal rowing party, % who freely admitted the conspiracy. Lefkowitz will be questioned further today. He denied emphatically last night he had anything to do with the crime. Insured to Protect Loans He admitted however, that he had called both Rubinzahl and Greenburg to his office to question them about the death, as he needed that information to collect the insurance money, which was $140,000 under the ihdemnity clause. “I had him insured,” said the prisoner, "to protect loans I had made him.” Relatives of Goldstein, who became suspicious of Lefkowitz after learning of the drowning, told the police that they had questioned him and been offered half of the insurance.

I.— \dU Army aviators have been instructed “to watch the skies” for storks delivering babies, Assistant Secretary of War MacNider informed an 8-year-old girl of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, who appealed to the War Department for a baby.

(The stork, recently visited MacNider’s home.) The stork leaves us only enough to go around, and to send you one would deprive some little boy or girl of Its playmate, which I know you would not have us do. “I have instructed the Army aviators to watch the skies when they are flying around, and if they see a stork delivering a little baby to tell it of your desire.” Mother, Daughter Hurt Bn Times Special , CLINTON, Ind., Sept.
