solidly on her rights. She paid
no attention to the royal party,
but continued looking at the

that if American people would
study their histories a little more
closely they would not be so cas-
lily awed by 'the rich of this
country and the royalty of
Europe"
To the scores of people who did

you require we would be glad to

The American was told that he

Gibson confessed he was infatuated
with Mrs. Szabo, and despite the an
situations made against him by many
Iersons, Mrs Gibson's love for her hus-
band has not been shaken. and she Is

which Gibson already has asserted he
has important papers bearing on the
present case.
Mrs. Gibson visited her husband In
the Goshen jail to-day and took to him
papers, law books and Information
which she was asked to obtain for him.
In her visit to him on Friday she
went over his case with him and
listened intently as her husband out

Always Eager to Help.
Mrs. Gibson has appeared in court
in other cases In support of conten-
lions mace by her husband and has al
ways been eager to help him. To show
that Gibson is devoted to his wife and
always is considering her interests. it
is pointed out that as soon as he built
her a home he decided it to her. When
he bought an automobile in 1910 he
gave It to her. and in other ways has
shown consideration and thoughtful
ness for her happiness.
Gibson now says he will nota hire
counsel to defend him in the examina-
ton that will be held in Goshen next
week. He said he will be his own
attorney. He made 1t clear that the
lawyers who occupy ofices in No. SIS
Liberty Street with him are not his
partners. and accordingly he does not
rely on them. Therefore the import
ance Of his wife to him in preparing
his defense is great, and 1t is clear that
Gibson trusts much to her intuition
and her strength of character. 1t Is
said that he submits many of his legal
papers to her for reading and criticism
