CLAIMS A PERFECT DEFENSE

Declares Woman, Scared by Thun-

Declares Woman, Scared by Thun-
der, Leaped Into Greenwood Lake.
Burton w. Gibson, accused at
Middletown, N. Y, of the murder of
Mrs. Rose Manschik Szabo, calmly
went over his relationship with the
woman, described the tragedy assert
ed that he had a perfect defense and
expressed entire confidence that he
will soon be at liberty His long state
ment summarized follows:
He went to Greenwood lake with
her to assist her in selecting a quiet
resort where she might spend several
weeks. Mrs Szabo or Mrs Ritter, as
Gibson calls her, did not fall out OF
the boat on the first trip, but jumped
into two feet of water frightened by
thunderstorm.
She could swim a little but he can
swim very little. She arose in the
boat, which was round bottomed, and
fell overheard and he went over with
her. When he went to her assistance
she grappled with him and with her
arms around his neck and her legs
around his waist he went to the bot
tom of the lake with her.
He used only sufficient force at the
bottom of the lake to free himself and
does not remember when she came to
the surface afterward. He did not
strike her a blow which would have
inflicted any fatal or incapacitating
injury.
DR., Schultze, coroner's physician,
swore before the court that Mrs. Szabo
died by asphyxiation by strangulation
and not by asphyxiation of sub
merson, which would have been the
case if she had been drowned when
she fell out of the boat on Greenwood
lake on July 18.
In other words the physician who
has conducted many autopsies swore
that Mrs. S2abo was so injured that
she never breathed after she went be-
low the surface of the water. The
testifying of the surgeon injected into
the case a new feature which COM
bined the Japanese iiu jitsu with an
expert knowledge of anatomy and
physiology.
According to the surgeon, before
Mrs. Szabo went out of the boat on
that day she received a sharp blow
On the throat which so affected the
laryngeal nerve as to close her air
passages making 1t impossible for her
to breathe. The fact that she had
never drawn breath after she was
struck was shown by the fact that al
though she was in the water there
was no sign of water in her lungs.
She stopped breathing before she fell
and died in consequence.
In his further testimony DR..
schultze who went further into the
case, testified that the blow which
was administered at the apex of the
throat just under the chin might have
been a single sharp application of the
thumb by man who knew absolutely
what he was doing or It could have
been done by the use of several
fingers Of the hand applied for an in.
finitessimal part Of a minute. Expert
knowledge was the only thing neces-
sary, Once the pressure was proper
ly applied there was no further work
to be done. The woman would go
overheard, sink without a struggle and
die without ever taking breath.
