woman's property. We will produce
her at the murder proceedings. and.
having done away, through her, with
| the alleged motive for the crime. we
shall see that she inherits her supposed
daughters property. We have proofs
and witnesses to establish these facts
This was the line Of defence sketched
out by Gibson on his way from this city
to the Goshen jail, but new witness
came forward yesterday in the person
Of Mrs. Margaret Wagner, Of No. 24b
East I'D street, who says Mrs. Szabo
told her that she intended leaving her
money, not to her mother. whom she
knew was dead, but to her brothers
and sisters in Vienna.
81 knew Mrs Szabo for nine years"
said Mrs. Wagner last night "She
finally went to live with Willie Shu-
mann. When he died she had saved up
about $4,000 which he had given her.
Shortly after this she told me she was
afraid Of her lawyer, whose name she
did not mention. Later she said she
thought he was all right, but again, In
May, 1912. she came TO me. She said
she was going home to Vienna, and
before Sailing she said she would make
a will to the children, as she called her
brothers and sisters. She was all
wrought up with fear again, and said
that her lawyer was working against
her once more and. putting her hands
to her throat, said she was afraid he
was going to kill her. She said she
could not trust that lawyer"

woman's face taken at the time she
was exhumed were shown yesterday

IN their efforts 10 trace the woman
who signed the waiver OF citation in
Gibson's favor, the attorneys for the
Austro- Hungarian consulate have en-
gagged handwriting experts TO compare
the various samples OF Mrs. Szabo's
writing. the signatures 10 the will and
waiver. and other documents in their
possession. II is expected that speci-

handwriting will be subjected to the
same process.

Mrs. Szabos body was prepared for
