GIBSON FACES
MORE TROUBLE
Continued from page ~

Jrumor that he had been approached
by some one who wanted to talk
about his case Tweddle went back
into the box without any action being
taken and Attorney Robert Elder op-
ened for the defense.
Gibson has been bounded and
libelled by yellow imaginations and
by the yellow press" said the Brook
lyn attorney in his opening address.
Elder referred to the fact that all
the evidence against the accused was
of circumstantial nature and insist
ed that every one of the twelve in
the box must have a reasonable
doubt Of the guilt of the accused.
He dissected and analysed the states
case and made it very plain that the
injection of the bank accounts of the
dead woman into the trial as an issue
was, in his opinion, improper.
Elder declared that John w. Min
turn, chief ,Aate witness, could not
have seen Gibson take Mrs. Szabo by
the throat as he had sworn because,
according to his own story Minturn
was mile away at the time.
Elder quoted Minturn as saying:
II did not see why should help
that fellow OUT when asked why he
did not take boat and go TO the
rescue, and asked the jury if they
thought that was the reply Of re-
sponsible man. He then quoted from
his testimony to show that Minturn
frequently contradicted himself
There is not man on this jury"
declared Elder, who cannot enter
tain reasonable doubt regarding the
credibility of this witness.
During Elders speech. Miss Isabel
Lerocchetti, the witness whom, ac-
cording to the defense, under Sheriff
Degraw tried to influence, arose from
among the spectators and started to
address the jury, but was silenced BIZ
the court.
Elder concluded his summing-up
with discussion Of the expert testi-
mony and the medical side of the
case. He declared that every cond!,
ton found on the body OF Mrs Szabo
could have been naturally produced.
