DEFENSE IN GIBSON
TRIAL SCORES POINT
Witness Declares Couple Were Five
Feet Apart When Falling From
Boat-Prosecution Rests.

Goshen, n. Y, Nov. 22.-Burton w.
Gibson and Rosa Szabo were five feet
apart when they toppled into Green
wood lake on July 16. The first blow
for the defense in the international
murder mystery was delivered by
Harry Laux, an electrical engineer
who was sprung on the state as an abb
solutely new witness.
II the story Laux tells is true 1t was
absolutely impossible that Gibson
could have strangled to death the
pretty Austrian countess, though ii has
not in any way upset the states con-
tention as to the cause of death.
Right on top of Laux's testimony
the defense forced home the story OF
Tom Garrison, an old Greenwood
lake policeman and guide, who swore
that Gibson and Countess Szabo went
overheard from opposite sides of the
boat
Generally speaking, the testimony OF
these two witnesses started the de
tense off we'll. The state closed short
ly before the noon recess with the
strong convincing testimony of Dr.
Otto II. Schultze, coroner's physician
Of New York, and DR.. A. p. Haskings
of Jersey City, who related the story
of the autopsy, each explaining his
contention that Rosa Szabo had died
of strangulation resulting from pres
sure without.
1t is the testimony OF these two
physicians and that of Doctor King
which the defense must break down
to secure an acquittal.
