HER LEES WORK ENDED, SAYS WIDOW


 MESA, May 11.-Rev and Mrs. Fcwlc have returned from Globe, where they went to attend the funeral of Roy Gibson, who was murdered last week by Starr Daley. MT. Fowle took part in the service. which was attended by large concourse of peo- pie. Tie anguish of the mother ot thedead man was most pitiable Mrs. Gibson, the widow, bore up re- markedly well during the ordeal of of the trip to Globe and the funeral service If her husband At intervais burst of sobs broke from the tight ly closed lips, yet ever again did the little woman gain control of the won derful nerve and courage that had sustainedN her through the horrible night spent at the mercy of Daley after he had murdered her hus- Nband
 The public has heard the story, but no one will ever be able to imagine all that she was compelled 10 under gC in the way of mental torture humiliating shame and horrible fear during that long night on the desolate desert. One remark made by her tells more than any other Of her high courage and at the same time the desolation wrought by the murderer Said this frail little woman of 1O5 pounds. when asked how she endured that night:
 T had two things in mind. To get my husband to town and buried and to bring that fiend to justice. After that my lfe's work will be over"
 Thus she endured the torture and for this she obeyed eV cry base com mand of the wretch rather than have him end her desolated life, and while she suffered she planned and the re- suit is the body of the murderer has heen taken from the pole where it hung with the staring eyes facing the desert sun, ands deposited jp shallow grave.
 pathetic incident showing the de- votioE of a splendid collie dog to it's dead master, has not as yet found it's way into print. The Gibsons though married f1r four years, had no lavished on 2 magnificent collie which accompanied them wherever they went. After his master was killed the dog walked round and roud the body whining softly. Daley drew his revolver ad started to kill him. when Mrs Daley succeeded in getting him to spare the dog, the man finally saying, Well he can't talk and tell anything" The faith tul brute followed the car to town and the next day when friend went to the garage to get the auto and use 1t for some matter connected with the case, the dog, which had never left the place, gently caught the hand laid on the car between his teeth and when the attempt to clint in was continued he pressed harder vet, emitting a low growl It was not until Mrs Gibson came up and spoke to him, that he let the stranger enter. All the time the car was here he spent in smelling over it and looking anNiously around for his dead master. Thus is ended the story. \ good man foully murdered a Trail little woman With the memory of q night of terror ever % haunt her sleeping hours and with no relative left hut one sister. A faithful dog bereft of it's master. and Gibson's father and mother heartbroken over the untimely loss of their son.

GAS WEEK" EXHIBITS
TO OPEN HERE TOMORROW
Local Companies to Join in Celebra.
ton of Tooth Anniversary of
Founding of Industry.

Celebrating the Tooth anniversary of
the successful operation of the first
commercial gas manufacturing and dis
tributing plant in this country at Bal
timore in May. 1917, gas companies in
this city, as we'll as in every city in the
United States. where gas is manufac-
tured and sold, are to hold 'gas
week." when the century of progress
in making gas and in the development
of gas appliances are to be illustrated.
Exhibits Of latest types Of gas ranges.
water heaters. irons. fixed and portable
heaters, etc, are to be shown. the vari-
GUS devices being demonstrated by ex-
perts. Chief among the demonstrations
economically, SO as to burn as~little as
possible and at the same time obtain
better results in cooking, etc.
Models of the first gas stoves. placed
on the market about 1853. are to be
shown In comparison with the newest
types of gas ranges as used by house
wives of today. Reproductions of the
first types of gas burners also are to be
shown.
In the earliest days of the use of gas
as an illuminant, it is stated. the gas
flowed from plain opening in the pipe.
Accidental discovery that smaller
openings improved the light led to the
development of the various forms of
tips and mantels now used. The dis
coyery is attributed to an Englishman.
who, experimenting with gas as
an illumfnant, and mislaying the
plug with which he stopped up the
open end of a feed pipe, clapped worn
thimble belonging to his wife over the
opening. The gas, flowing through half
a dozen tiny holes in the thimble, gave
more light than the open flame, and this
led to the development of burner tips
with from three to six openings, and
later to the single narrow opening of
the first lava tips.
The exhibits and demonstrations are
to be held here as well as at more than
900 cities throughout the country to-
morrow and will continue during the
week.

GERMAN-AMER|CANS
ARE CALLED OUTLAWS
So Characterized by Won Bernstorff
in 1918 in Conversation With
Senator Phelan.

Count Won Bernstorff. former German
ambassador to the United States. be-
fore the war spoke disparagingly of
German citizens in this country, saying
they had run away from the fatherland
to avoid military service and were
outlaws" according to a statement
made public today by Senator Phelan
Of California in connection with COM
ment on the passage Of the army war
bill
The remarks attributed to Won Berns-
torff. Senator Phelan explained. were
made during an interview which he
had with the ambassador in Munich in
1913 in an effort to get Germany to
participate in the Panama-Pacific ex-
position. Mr.. Phelan sought German
exhibit on the ground that Germans in
the United States would be proud of 1t.
He Immediately resented that said
Senator Phelan in his statement. Much
to my surprise, he substantially said:
DO not talk about those people. We do
not care what they think or want. They
have deserted the fatherland. They have
run away to avoid military duty. They
have been false to the old traditions,
They are outlaws; and that was the
sentiment of official Germany then, as
good people, who are expected to rem
der service to the autocracy now, as
outlaws, as men who have fed from
their duty.
81 think our German-American citi-
zens should know and understand that
which is the Prussian estimate of them,
and they should be confirmed in what !
believe to be their sincere conviction.
that their duty lies with America in
this struggle"

AZTEC'S OWNERS PRAISE
GUN CREW OF VESSEL

In connection with Lieut.. William Full
err Greshams story of the sinking of the
American steamer Aztec. the naval guard
on which the lieutenant commanded. the
Navy Department has made public the
following letter to Secretary Daniels
from the president Of the ships owners,
the Oriental Navigation Company:
From the report Of the captain of the
Aztec, who has just returned to New
York, we learn that the seven survivors
of the ships crew probably owe their
lives to the fact that they left the sink
ing vessel in the same boat as the United
States naval detachment. commanded by
Lieut.. Gresham. Through the excellent
discipline of these men and particularly
the bravery and GOODNESS of Lieut.. Gresh-
am, they were able to survive through
the night in an open boat under most
dangerous conditions
1T will be a pleasure to you, sir, to
hear that in this instance once again the
old traditions of the naval branch of our
service have been upheld, and you will
hermit us to commend most highly the
yalor of Lieut. Gresham and his men"
One member of the naval guard, Boat
swain's mate J. /. Eopolucci of this city.
lost his life with twenty-seven sailors of
the Aztec Lieut. Gresham told Secretary
Daniels that Eopolucci when last seen was
busy helping the merchant seamen, who
were having trouble with their boat.
