Woman's Home Thought to
Reveal Romance.

Toms River. n. j.. Aug. '10.-rormer
Judge William H. Jeffrey, who has
been retained ~ counsel for Mrs. Will
liam 0iberson. In jail here. accused OF
numbering her husband. and blaming
the crime on two burglars. insists his
client - innocent. declaring she had a
perfect chain OF evidence establishing
that fact. which ne expects to show by
testimony OF w. Ayves and F. F, Peter
son. two employees in the freight SER
vice Of the Central railroad. who
reached the Giberson home soon after
tho shooting. These men," said the
attorney. heard Mrs. Giberson scream
and found her At the foot OF the stair
case. The torn condition OF her night
robe and the imprints on It q the cor
rugated rubber pads which cover the
stairway showed beyond question that
she must have fallen.
Tier hands and feet were tied in
such a manner. these railroad men told
me. as to preclude the possibility OF
her having knotted the bonds herself.
BesideS that her manner was that OF
a woman frightened half out OF her
senses"
tho home Of the accused woman give the
impression that Mre. Gibereon may
have advertised for q husband or that
she had secretly conducted a matri-
monial bureau. II IL considered most
probable. however, that the woman
registered her name with some matri-
monial or correspondence bureau for
the lovelorn.
A letter typical OF the majority wae
from a Texan, who enclosed a photo
graph OF himself in wide-brimmed
sombrero and walrus-like mustache.
I'm just plain he man." he wrote
"and I'm poor but honest. SO X you
are looking for a wealthy man, guess
i don't do" Other letters are rcplcts
with cndearing terms and apparently
followed the exchange OF numerous
epistlee.
Arrv. Giberson took her arres. with
tho greatest calm. AL Monday night
her father, Leroy H. Richmond. q
contractor, and her brother. Herbert
Richmond, sat on a bench outside the
jail waiting 10 see the prisoner. who
was allowed 10 see no one.
chip Of some OF the letters, confessed
having known Mrs. Gibereon, stating
that he had met her when he was
at Lakehurst In connection with the
construction OF the hangar for the III
fased ZR-2. the dirig.ble destroyed in
England. He told the authorities that
he met Mrs. Gibason in January
1921, and that the friendship had been
virtually terminated in july Of the
same year. He declared that she knew
him TO be married and thought OF hel
as n Discreet and innocent woman
He eaid that he had received several
letters from her after leaving lake
hurst.
The man was not directly questioned
regarding tho letters he Is alleged ts
have written. According to Prose
cutor Jayne he claims that ne was IN
New York ON the night OF tho murder
stating that ne spent Sunday at The
Polo Grounds and the evening at The
home Of his father-in-law. MARTYR

Persons who have observed the work

hundreds of men employed, the many
trucks, tractors, and other machinery

refinery site II veritable hive of indus

Many men from here. with teams and
grading equipment, have taken employ

Long strings Of trucks are ngagcd
in hauling lumber and other material
from the city while a small army Of
men Is engaged in the erection of a

there steadily for the remainder of the

Bunk houses, cook houses and other

Seven Counties Want sanitorium

A great Zeal of interest has been
manifested in the matter of location
of the Tuberculosis sanitorium which
will be decided by the vote of the peo-
pie on November 7th. Five counties
have filed certificate of nomination
papers with the Secretary of State. to-
gether with petitions carrying the
necessary signatures Of one hundred
electors, and have become thereby can
didates for the location of the sanitor-
ium. These counties are Platte. Big
Horn, Converse, Johnson, and Goshen.
All of these counties contain very
beautiful sites for such an institution.
Appropriation for the erection of the
buildings has not vet beer asked, but
there is every reason to believe that
Il legislators will make the neces-
sary appropriation for this purpose be-
cause they and people in general have
learned the real need in our state for
such an institution.

advantage of it.
