TWO THREATENING NOTES
The woman, Ann Borshuk, said
Rubinstein had told her then that
two threatening notes had been
tied to rocks and thrown through
his window. Police confirmed that
one note said “You have your
warning. Next time you won’t walk
away. Pay your debts.”
Rubinstein’s 84-year old aunt,
Eugenia Forrester, told police she
was awake at what she thought
was about 1 a. m. when a light
was turned on in her room. She
said she looked up to see a fully
clad woman, “dressed in brown,”
standing by the light switch.
Apparently seeing she was in the
wrong room, the woman turned off
the light and disappeared, Mrs.
Forrester said.
Rubinstein’s 78-year-old mother,
Stella, said she also saw the wom

stairway to the third floor, where
Rubinstein slept.

girls so they could enter whenever
they were summoned. When Rub
instein became tired of his current
group of girl friends, police said,
he had the lcck changed on the
door and issued new keys to those
■ he still wanted.
Detectives said it is highly pos
sible that one particular girl saw
[ her days of favor were close to an

1 It is being considered, police
said, that an ex-prisonmate of
Rubinstein's got the key, planning
a robbery job but bungled the job
; and fled after killing him.
MONEY AND WOMEN
Money and women, the two ma
jor interests in Serge Rubinstein’s
’ life, undoubtedly led to his death,
, police indicated today.
I An almost endless parade of
beautiful showgirls, actresses and
models were questioned by police

have led to the millionaire play
