Gibson's Stories Varied.

Sixteen other witnesses were brought
forward by the prosecution, and by
them II was sought to establish that
after the Voman's death Gibson had
told various persons different stories
as TO what had happened to her. Some
testified that he told them she had
gone 10 Chicago or Boston TO get mar
ried. others said he informed them
that she had died from natural causes.
The prosecution introduced testimony
and documents 10 show that Gibson
had obtained full control Of her estate
by misrepresentation OF facts. Among
these witnesses were Franz Menschik,
who identified photographs and sigma
lures as those OF his sister, his eyes
filling with tears and his voice falling
TO a whisper as he did so.
Mrs. Szabo's will was read into the
record. During the reading by Mr.
Wasservogel Of a clause which spoke OF
the "frail and transitory character Of
this life" and mentioned Gibson as
my friend and legal adviser" Gibson
suddenly rose and started to leave the
room. He was noticed just as he was
leaving the court by the judge, who
suspended the proceedings until he had
returned.

Favors Another Avenue.
Speaking about his desire to have. an
other avenue opened between Sixth and
Fifth avenues, the Mayor said:
Your secretary when he wrote to me
said you particularly wanted me to say
something about Fifth avenue. Just
think Of that. Fifth avenue is only one
OF my children, and / love them all just
as much as ] love Fifth avenue. You
don't like that, do YOU? ] don't know
nue. | don't want to say anything to
annoy you, but ! really believe there
ought to be another Fifth avenue up
through this territory here. Some OF you
seem to applaud it-but some of you re-
main quite silent: still / must touch on
it with the tips of my fingers at least.
Where Is McAneny? He shakes his
head, / think. AS the Mussulman turns
to the east when he thinks he wants 10
say his prayers, so ! always turn to
about Fifth avenue. But whether he
agrees or disagrees-and he is Borough
President you know, and II is outside
of my jurisdiction-I have strong no
nue. from seth street down. Some people
think ii would hurt Fifth avenue. Oh. ye
shortsghted generation Of Fifth avenue!
In place Of hurting you 1t would help
you. II would make Fifth avenue greater
than II is to-day
The Mayor then said that the property
along the new avenue would easily bear
the huge expenditure.
why don't you take this up and eluci-
date it and give Lefty Louie a rest for
a week or SOP he exclaimed, amid laugh
ter.

tracks and the West Side Improvement
the Mayor declared to be a plan of al
most equal magnitude with the subway
problem. He praised the work done in
the solution of the subway problem. de-
claring that all members of the admins
tration had worked on 1t with all possible
zeal and honesty.
There were people of moral and mental
substitute, or density, the Mayor eS-
planned, one or two who owned news
papers. who tried TO influence the people
against this solution, but there was not
one man in the city now who did not
know that the administration did not sell
out the city and did the best for it that
could be done
The Mayor had much praise for all the
heads Of city departments. AS TO HIM
self. he said that he could read his books
and enjoy literature and all the other
pleasures OF life better after he had
ceased to be Mayor than now, so the
matter of his being in office or not did
not disturb him at all.
