over two years The effects OF II codid
be seen plainly as he limped Into the
courtroom for sentence. He has been suf-
fering with rheumatism and at one time
was removed from the Tombs 10 the
prison ward at Bellevue to undergo treat
ment He suffered another attack short
time ago and came into court yesterday
resting heavily on a cane. His race was
pale and his voice showed that he was
completely unnerved by his long battle
and its unsuccessful result.
The body Of Mrs Szabo was found IN
Greenwood Lake, Orange County, on July
ls 1912, and Gibson, her lawyer was ar
rested shortly afterward on a charge OF
murder. Marks on her body seemed 70
show that she had been strangled. Two
1urtes disagreed and the Indictment
against the lawyer was dismissed.
He was then rearrested and brought TO
this county on a charge Of larceny. sew
eral months before her death Mrs. Szaoo
went to Gibson's Office and there made
will I'm which she left her estate 10 her
mother. Petronela Menschik. and named
Gibson as executor. Shortly after the

ministrator. After an investigation Glib
son was indicted on the larceny charge.
At the time OF his conviction last month
Gibson requested time to substantiate his
statements that ne had made payments
from the estate TO Mrs. Menschik and 70
prove that the woman was alive at that
time. He stated TO the court week later
that he had heard that she was being
held in the House Of Detention and
wished TO investigate the rumor. His
sentence was postponed and he was given
time 10 make an accounting. This he
failed to do.
Unless the Menschik woman can be pro-
duced within a few days Gibson's SEN
tence will be executed next week.

Tells of Trade Opportunities and
Difficulties Waiting in South
America.

Secretary of Commerce William C.
Redfeld delivered an address of vel
come this morning to the American AS
scciation of Public Accounts. holding
its tenth annual convention in the Will
lard Hotel. The Secretary dwelt at
length upon the place of the public Sc
counts in the present-day business and
commercial world, and issued a warning
against jumping at conclusions in the
South American trade situation.
The Secretary declared that even
though a great opportunity was await
ing the United States in South America.
American houses must get away
from the idea that the only necessary
formula is 10 send out statesmen and
await their return with full order
books. South America, he said, Is fac
ing its own troubles in exchange end
local banking conditions as a result of
the war and the stopping Of its eX-
ports. These countries must get a
measure of exports to carry their i'm
ports, he declared.
The Secretary laid stress upon the
Importance of the public account in
present-day business development, and
asked the convention delegates to urge
the great business houses they came in
contact with Increased efficiency anu
TO bring cost accounting up to the plane
upon which II belongs to prevent eco
nomic waste,
President Robert H. Montgomery
made the response.
Most of the morning session was de-
voted to the routine business of the as
sociation. A number of addresses by
foreign delegates were scheduled, but
none of them were in attendance be-
cause of the war situation in Europe.
President Montgomery announced
that he had put up for competition

will be played on the links Of the Co

women accompanying them are on
sightseeing tour of the city.
