GIBSON MAY KNOW
HIS FATE TONIGHT
Testimony All in and Jury Ex-
pected to Get Case Early
in Evening.

NEWBURGH, N. ". May 2S..-The
attorneys for both sides in the MUIR
der case of Burton W. >Gibson,
summed up this morning. The case
will go to the jury late this afternoon.
In the event of another disagreement,
Gibson will not again be tried in Or
ange county. If he is acquitted, the
district attorney of New York county
is ready to take Gibson in custody on
charges of forgery and larceny grow
ing out of Gibson's handling of the
estate of Mrs. Rosa Szabo, whom 1t Is
alleged he murdered. Gibson was ex-
ecutor of the estate.
When the court opened this morn
ing with only the summing up by the
counsel and the judges charge to
come, both sides were confident as
to the result. A maze of fiat contra
dictions has marked the testimony.
DIR. J.. J. O'Reilly swore that it
would have been impossible for Glib
son to have strangled the woman
without leaving some external marks
on her throat, or at least breaking
some of the more delicate inner
tissues.
He suggested as one possible cause
of death kidney trouble. which, he
said, might have caused spasm in
the organs of the throat upon the
sudden application of cold water.
Fright. he said, might have produced
the same effect.
DIR. H. Edwin Lewis supported his
colleague in every respect.

LONG PRISON TERM
Ex-State Senator Convicted Of
Bribery Sentenced to Eight
Years in Prison.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Former
State Senator Stephen ]. Stilwell.
convicted of bribery by jury early
last week after he had been exon
Grated by the New York State Senate,
was sentenced today to serve not less
than four years nor more than eight
in Sing Sing prison.
Supreme Court Justice Seabury,
who presided at Stilwell's trial. pro-
nounced sentence and granted a stay
of execution in order that the con-
victed senator's lawyers might apply
for a certificate of reasonable doubt.
No trace of emotion crossed Stilwell's
face as he heard his sentence. JUS
tice Seaburys words had hardly died
away before Stillwell was led back
to the Tombs. He smiled at friends
and sympathizers who crowded CLOSE
to the railing as he walked away.
Stilwell, State senator from the
Bronx, was convicted Of attempting
to obtain $3.5O0 from George H. Ken
dali. president of the New York Bank
Note Company, for favorable consid-
Grafton by the Senate and Assembly
committees of a bill to make illegal
discrimination against bank note
companies by stock exchanges. The
Senate investigated the charges,
heard Kendall and other witnesses
and exonerated Stilwell by vote of
2S to 81. Thereafter the case was
placed. by Governor Sulzer's instruc-
tions. in the hands of District Attor-
ney Whitman. Stilwell appeared be-
fore the grand jury after signing a
waiver of immunity
The convicted senator is AZ years
old and has been long in politics. His
conviction automatically removed
him from the Senate.

THIEF WALKS OFF
WITH SILVER AS
WATCHDOGSSLEEP
Wedding Gifts Included in Loot
Worth Several Thousand
Dollars.
WEST ORANGE MANS HOME
SCENE OF DARING THEFT
Burglar LeisureIy Tested Ar
ticIes to Find Solid
Ware.


Three vigilant watchdogs slept
soundly in the yard of George H.
Macy's home, in Northfield road
West Orange, early today while an
up-to-date Raffles leisurely selected
several thousand dollars worth of
the choicest family plate.
The burglar made a record for
himself for surmounting difficulties.
First of all he must have llypnotized
the three dogs They were known
throughout the neighborhood as be-
ing alert to the slightest night noise,
but in some way the robber con-
vinced them of his harmlessness.
Next he had Mr.. Macy's burglar
alarm system to tackle. He man
aged to avoid springing it. although
he obtained an entrance by forcing
one of the ground floor windows.
Then, while the family soundly
slumbered in the bedrooms above, the
burglar made a collection of silver
ware. He carefully emptied the side
board, placed all the pieces on the
mahogany dining table. drew up a
chair and presumably by the light of
his electric torch, took up the work
of separating the sheep from the
goats-the silver from the near-silver.
He finally selected magnificent
tea set and an equally elaborate
coffee set, wedding presents given
!. K. Hall, who married a daughter
of Mr. Macy in 1910. These, with a
few other of the more valuable
pieces. were all he cared to burden
himself with, apparently.
Since the front door was found to
be locked on the inside and the back
doors chain was undisturbed it is
thought the the burglar left by the
window, as he had entered. The dogs
never SO much as .whimpered while
he made his getaway
The servants discovered the bur
glary at $50 when they arose. Mr..
Macy notified the police.
As soon as an investigation was
made by the police II became evident
that the case was one OF the most
extraordinary In the records of West
Orange.
So careful had been the Raffies to
avoid leaving any clue that the de-
tectiyes were unable to find a single
finger print. ON the silver pieces he
had left on the dining-room table.
He is believed to have worn rubber
gloves.
On the lawn, where the robber
dropped after climbing out of the
window through which he fed, the
police found indentations. Apparently,
however he had been aware of the
danger lurking in the muddy con-
dition of the grounds and paths, for
the indentations We're scored over
heavily, as. if he had drawn his heel
across to obliterate the mark made
by his shoes. No other footprints
could be found clear enough to give
the police even the size of the
burglars feet.
The family retired last night about
10:30. Earlier in the evening a serV-
ant in the home of Charles Richman
the actor. was aroused by noise in
the cellar and found a light burning
The light flashed out suddenly and a
search failed to reveal any intruder.
