MRS. SzAB0 IN
FEAR OF GIBSON
"Came Near Drowning Me-"
She Told Friend.

New York, Sept. 21.-Mrs. Louise
harstt Of ~ West stxty-fourth street,
the house In which Mrs.. Rosa Mems
chik saabo lived 1t the time she is al
legged to have been strangled, made an
amdav1t, in which she says that Mrs.
szabo expressed the fear on the day
before she met her death In Greenwood
Lake that Lawyer Burton w. Gibson
would drown her.
Mn. NArstt had known Mrs. Ssabo
tncs last January. when she moved
Into the sixty-fourth street house.
Mrs. Narett visited the once Of A.
Kremer. counsel for the Austro-Hun-
gartan consulate and swore to an afl-
davit for District Attorney Rogers Of
Orange county to be used in the pres
entation Of the murder charge against
Gibson. In this affidavit Mrs. Marett
says that On July IA last she saw Mrs.
Szabo go out and meet Gibson. On the
following day Mrs. Szabo returned.
Said She Feared Drowning.
She told Mrs. Marett she had Deer to
Greenwood lake and added:
Il went out Of Sunday, but he came
near drowning me. l am going back
with him tomorrow to get my UNI
brella, and this time he may drown
me-"
On July 10, the day before the trag-
edy, Mrs. Marett saw Mrs. Szabo leave
the house. On July II. the day after
the tragedy, Gibson came to the house
with two expressmen and started tax
Ing out Mrs. Szabo's six trunks, when
he was stopped by Mrs. Burke, the jan
ltress.
where is Mrs. RitterT" Mrs. Burke
asked. Ritter was the name Mrs. Szabo
went by.
"She has gone to Chicago" Gibson
replied In the presence Of Mrs. Marett,
according to her af1da Wit. "She has
gone to Chicago" he repeated. land
will not come back. l am going to
send her trunks to her in Chicago"
The Janitress refused to let Gibson
take u the trunks until he had paid
her So Of the $3.50 due on Mrs. Szabo's
rent.
Gibson Paid Over Money.
Surrogate Fowler declined to receive
an accounting In confidence of the way
In which Burton w. Gibson has dis
posed Of he estate Of Rosa Menschik
Szebo. whom be is charged with hay
Ing put to death. When the offer was
made to- the surrogate in chambers he
declared that if there was to be an &C.
counting 1t was to be in public. All he
wanted was the assurance of Charles
Goldz1er Of counse for Gibson that the
estate was where 1t could be got II nee
esary. The answer was the offer of an
account to be accompanied by vouch-
ers and other papers showing where
the money went, and this the
would not accept.
The offer and the refusal developed
almost to a certainty that Gibson will
assert that he has paid over the bulk
OF the $7.10O Of Mrs. Szabo's money ne
drew out Of the banks to the Mrs.
Petronella Menschik Of Chicago. He
will produce receipts and vouchers to
prove this at the trial, and his lawyers
further assert that he will produce the
woman herself.

from which they wanted the rails. And
owing to the extent to which the Same
financial interests dominate both the
steel industry and the railroads. many
of the railroads are helpless. 1t seems

1t IS the public that travels and pays
the toll in life for the effectiveness of
rails. Other questions aside. 1t seems
clear enough that the steel companies
are producing worse rails at higher

contention upon that fact.
