to Be Exhumed by
Order Of Court

NEW YORK, Sept. $40 determine II
possible whether death was due to any
other agency than drowning, District At
torney Rogers of Orange county, New
York, will cause to be exhumed the body
Of Mrs. Rosa Szabo, an Austrian woman
who met death in Greenwood lake while
in a rowboat with Burton w. Gibson, a
New York lawyer. now executor of her
$4,000 estate. The proposed autopsy will
embrace not only an examination for
wounds but chemical analysis Of the
contents Of the stomach.
Gibson had the body buried under the
name Of mrs. Ritter" in cemetery near
Jersey City, but he has expressed his
entire willingness to have it exhumed.
According to Austro-Hungarian consul
ate detectives, they have found the
woman, who posed as Mrs. Rose Mems
chik, mother of Mrs. Szabo and bene-
ficiary under the will. The contention
of the consulate Is that the victim 8
mother was dead at the time the will
was drawn and that therefore, the
waiver of citation purported to have been
signed by Mrs. Menschik, Is a forgery.
This phase Of the case will be threshed
out before the surrogate on September II,
when brother of Mrs. Szabo, now on
his way from Austria, will testify as to
his mothers death.
