several years Mrs. Gibersons former
husband. John Meehan OF North Cam
bridge. Mass. recently wrote to her
twice in two weeks. 1t does not now ap-
pear, however. what moved Meehan to
write to his former wife after so long
silence. nor does II appear that the
letter had any bearing on the subsequent
actions of Mrs. Giberson. She and Nee
han were married in Oneonta, n. Y,
twenty-three years ago. and one son was
born. who Is now known as Joseph Rich
mond. He took the name OF his mater
nal grandmother. by whom he was
reared.
Young Richmond said to-day at the
funeral of his stepfather that he did not
like the way he had been treated or the
things that had been said about his
mother. He denied emphatically that he
had been carrying around a large sum
Of money. He said he had $50 when
he went on his vacation and had about
s25 left. If he had $1,000, he said, as
has been reported. he would have gone
to San Francisco long ago.
Prosecutor Jayne said tonight that he
does not expect any important develop
ments in the case for some time. He Is
not looking for a motive particularly,
contending that under the Jersey law II
is not necessary TO establish a motive.
Detective Parker has gone to his home
at Mount Holly for three or four days
and II is said that he will do no work
on the case until he returns.

DEFENSE ATTACKS
MAIL TRUCK DRIVER
Cross Examiners Mix Haver-
ack in Trying to Weaken
His Identification.

Frank Haverack. driver OF the mail
truck that was looted of cash, jewels
and securities worth s2,400,000 in the
Leonard street robbery last October
underwent a severe cross-examination
in the United States District Court yes
terday when counsel for the defense re-
peatedly sought to show that the driver
was mistaken in the identity of the two
men who held him up.
Haverack admitted that he had pre-
viously identified as Anderson. who is
of light complexion, dark Italian in a
Hoboken Jail named Calabrice. He
stoutly maintained, however. that he
was positive. after seeing the pair on
trial, that Anderson and Chapman were
the men who held him up. He corrobo-
rated the story Of the holdup as told by
Charles Loerber, one of the bandits, who
pleaded guilty.
When William ]. Baker. for the de-
fense, asked the witness IL he could ex-
plain the line of reasoning by which he
contended that Anderson was one of the
men in the robbery, when month after
the holdup he had identified an Italian,
Haverack hesitated and then said he
could not.
do you see Calabrice In the court
room now?" asked Mr.. Baker The wit
ness looked searchingly about the room,
particularly at the men In the jury box.

jurors laughed and the court room be-

said the first man who jumped on the
truck showed no revolver. but that the
second man had silver revolver

After forcing him to unlock the door
and taking the selected mail bags out.
he said the robbers allowed him 70 re-
sumo his seat on the truck. The whole
transaction took about minute and a
half. he said.
Are you positive these two men be-
fore you are the ones you saw that
night?" asked Mr.. Baker. "Yes. sir"

Tom and Lew say that there will be
another session Of the court next Thurs

the finding of new evidence against
Mrs Ivy Giberson is concerned, stands
tonight just where it stood forty
eight hours ago. in spite Of the efforts
OF the County Prosecutor, Wilfred H.
Jayne. Mr.. Jayne, in discussing the
case to-day, would not mention the
possibility of another arrest. of which
there have been rumors, but he de-
clared that he was still greatly inter-
ested in the theory that Giberson was
chloroformed before he was shot. He
firmly believes that Mrs. Giberson
killed her husband, and it is on this
belief that he is basing his investiga-
tions.
William III. Jeffrey. attorney for the,
accused woman. who is still in Jail
here, has sent for two private de-
tcctives and said that as soon as they
arrived he would put them to work
trying to dig up evidence to corrobo-
rate Mrs. Giberson's story that she
was bound and gagged by two men
who killed Giberson.
Suspects Two Men.
Jeffrey said to-day that he has two
men under suspicion. Both OF these
men have been hanging about the village
of Lakehurst for several days, mingling
with the crowd that Giberson associated
with. 1t is understood that Jeffrey be-
licves these men were associated with
Giberson in certain gambling and boot
Logging operations and that they might
have quarreled with him and then de-
cided to rob him.

ON EATING ALONE

I always speculate on the sight of
a man or woman eating alone. When

my eyes drop to such a one.
I often eat alone-and il is always
the saddest and most unhappy hour
of>fhe day.
There are many forms of religious
service that are particularly impress

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS

BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl
of nineteen and have been married
since the sixteenth of July, 1922. My
husband seemed very devoted to me
before we were married and since
my parents liked him very much and
he seemed to know how to manage to
take caref of a wife II he had one L
accepted him.
He was a man of twenty-eight and
I thought the way he acted before
would be his way or acting all the
time. But after we had been mar
ried a week he changed, and Twas
among strangers without money. Then
was forced to leave him because
he was so cruel. I put up with it, TAX
ing beatings for seven weeks. He
threatened to kill me- was sick most
home to my mother nervous wreck.
Now he is wanting to come back.
I am afraid of him and don't want
to go away from home with him. But
we feel it a great disgrace to be sep
arated or divorced. Yet L feel cam
not live with him.
He is in the saloon every day.
have tried to change him but he
doesn't care. wish were able to
go away from my friends and work so
that I could get a divorce. I hate to
go back and raise a family, but am
poor and must help myself for my
parents are not able to.
Please advise me. PUZZLED.
Don't feel that divorce IN your case
is a disgrace. 1t would be a greater
disgrace for you to live with such a
beast. Don't think for minute that
a man who would beat you as your
husband has done would change per-
manent1y if you went back. Probably
in a few weeks time he would be just
as bad or worse than ne was before.
BY all means get work, and If it
will make you happier to do SO, go
somewhere where you can make new
friends. think you are wrong, how
ever. in feeling that you cannot face
your friends. You have done nothing
wrong and therefore feeling of
shame is out of place Hold up your
head and know in your own mind that
YOU are right Your selr-respect will
gain the respect of others and none
of your friends will question your d.
vorce.
Your experiences has been most cruel
and forget it as quickly as you can.
There are too many good men in the
world to waste any more time with a
man of the character your husband

commercializing golf Ia seen iR the
charging for admission to the big
tournaments and exhibitions. This
was done in several instances during
the season just closing, and it has re-
suited in much criticism.
Primarily the object in charging an
admission fee was not to make money,
but to limit the gallery that inevfta bly,
overruus course whenever and wher-
ever a big contest is on. However, as
it has worked out it has created funds
not needed for the maintenance OF the
sport, and it has not restricted the
number of spectators
GoIfing authoritiesf accordingly. are
coming to the conclusion that this
practice is fundamentally wrong, and
that the thing to de is to limit atten-
dance at tournaments to the members
of the clubs where they are held and
to the fortunate few who can secure
guest cards from members.
Golf is a sport it is insisted, that
should develop players rather than
spectators and encourage. amateurs

He was fashioned. as butterflies always

with wings to carry him GEAR and far,

And when it appeared to this lovely miss
He was crawling back in his ehrysalis
She uttered a startled cry

But the butterfly to theSearth remained.
And the wings God had given him he dis

Attorney General Daugherty has I'M
dertaken to make the contractors who
built the army camps pay back some OF
their profits. If he succeed, perhaps
the contractors will try to recover
from the carpenters, plumbers and
other mechanics whom they paid from
s12 to SIS a day, some Of the money
which. they received. The fact about
the army camps is that the govern
ment was in a hurry for them and was
forced to make any kind of a bargain
it could to get them. Overcharges
and even graft were reasonably to be
expected. And these things were not
confined to the army camps They
pervaded every phase of Uncle Sans
activities. The building of wooden
ships was an absolute and inexcus-
able graft and all knew it to be so.
But nearly everybody was out to get
his
