MURDER TRIAL
 OF LAWYER IS
 NEARING CLOSE
Gibson Defense VIII Probably Rest This Afternoon Sum
 ming up Monday

Goshen. N. Y., Nov. 22.-The de- fense in the trial of Burton W. Gib- son, lawyer, accused of the murd CT of Mrs. Rosa Szabo, today, placed their medical experts on the stand to testify that the condition of the wo- mans body did not of necessity indi- cate death by choking. It was be- this afternoon.
 Court then would adjourn over to Monday. when the summing up would take place
 Dr. Arthur s. More, of the Middle town state hospital, who said he had performed 525 autopsies in the 13 years of his practice. was Gibson' 8 first expert.
 He showed to the jury pieces of fresh beef upon which he. had experi- nented. to back his expert opinion preserve tissues. as in enabaining. caused a reduction and contraction of tissues. Such action, he said, could have produced the apparent effect of strangufation in the throat of the dead woman.
 Moore gave his evidence as an -an- swer to a Hypothetical question which it took counsel for the defense half an hour to put
 The physician, after accounting for the throat condition, said tRat the due to natural deterioratton after death.
 John W. Minturn. star witness against Gibson, admitted that he could not swear that the lawyers hand reached the woman's throat when he saw them, according to Witness Os- goodby, of Ponapton Plains, N. J., to- day. {. Osgoodby said that he was on a train with Minturn the night of the inquest when Minturn made the state Tnent. Osgoodby declared that Under Sheriff DeGraw boasted to him some time ago that he was going to con vict Gffsson.
 Probably never before in an i'm ' poFtant murder case in this section has the evidence been so contradic- tory Every state witness swore that Gibson and Mrs. Szabo went into the water together, that Gibson'ss arms were seemingly around the woman, and that he apparently upset the boat. Every defense witness has tes7 tified that the couple were at least four feet apart and Tom Garrison, one2eyed guide at the lake, swore IosikipeIy thatthey went over from opposite sides of the frail craft.
 Charles Goidzier, of counsel for the dc fense, said before court opened, to- day that he was satisfied every single contention of the state would be completely disproved. He said that would show that Mrs. Szabo frequent ly referred to her mother as living in New York.
 .sThe woman Gibson knows as Mrs. SzaBo's mother is in hiding. said Gold zier, "but we will show that she was a real flesh and blood person in all the dealings Gibson had with her"
 Gibson. himself, it is understood, will not take the stand. His counsel ] declare there is absolutely no need of it as their case is complete without him.

MT. Everett became reminiscent when speaking of the inspection made of the tracks by Engineer C. c. FL we'll of the Public Utilities Commission. MT. Elweu was roadmaster on the main line back in 1S93," said he. That was the time they Installed the four track system. He remained there until 1896 when he became SUI perintendent of the Old Colony Lima. MT. ElweH four tracked the division and put it in splendid shape. It was regarded as the finest stretch of rail- road in America and even one of the best in the world at that time. It is only within the last five or six years they have allowed the roadbea tc run down this way.
 MT. DeMore testified before the Coroner that the railroad had been trying to get help to put the roadbed in shape he continued. Do you re- member what he said about wages The railroad offered to pay $1.60 a day for labor Think of it. Labor is getting from s2 to $2.5O in the cities right now, and the railroad wonders that it can't get help when it pays s1.60! And remember, railroading is the hardest kind Of laboring work"
 Asked for suggestion as to what would prevent, recurrence of fatal wrecks the veteran track foreman said:
 Tt will take year to get the New Haven line in good condition. Until that time I would restrict trains from speeding more than 30 to 35 miles an hour. Then one would be reason ably sure of safety. But it is danger ous to run at any greater speed over the tracks in their present condition Ask any practical railroad man who is free to speak his mind, and you'll find he agrees with me.
 Mir. Everett said the occasion of his looking into the Berkshire division was last September, when he went to Pittshe1d on business.
 I've spent so much of my life rail- roading that it is natural for me to drift to the tracks when I have a lit tie time to spare'' he explained. When 1 was in Pittsfield I walked for some distance over the tracks, and I found them just I found them at the Bridgeport end of the division '

 Carroll, who stepped up to Dave last night and after commanding him to stop smoking, brushed the cherished possession from his leps, found himself upon the floor after a. short and quick impact with doubled fist He was then escorted to a, cell. Had he known that none, even most intimate friends, dares sever the relationship be- tween Dave and his pipe, Carroll would never have attempted his feat last night.

Declares He Procured Gunner at Re
quest of Ex-Lieutenant Who
Advised Murder.

New York, Oct. 15.-"Bald Jack
Rose told the jury in Supreme Court
Justice Goff's court his whole story
Saturday of the plot leading up to
and the events following the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler.
He swore that Police Lieut.. Beck
er ordered and contrived the murder
to prevent exposure as blackmailer;
that Becker gloated over the body of
Rosenthal as it lay in the West Forty
seventh street station, and that Beck
,er paid the gunner and tried for a
time to protect them.
The climax was Roses recital of
Becker's reply to Roses question as
to whether or not he had seen the
body:
1T was pleasing sight to me to
look and see that squealing -
there and, if it had not been for the
presence of the district attorney,
would have reached down and cut
his tongue out as warning to future
squealers."
