Special Dispctch 10 THE New YosK HERALD.
TOMS RIVER, ". j., Aug 1S-Rumors
are many here that the authorities in
tend to make another arrest In the Glib
erson murder case, but none of the off,
cials who are trying to solve the mys-
terry of the death Of the taxicab owner
would admit 1t tonight. Prosecutor
Wilfred Jayne left Toms River this
afternoon without commenting. while
Detective Ellis Parker said that 50 far
as he knew no other arrest would be
made.
Detective Parker said that in his opin-
ion the guilt rests entirely with Mrs.
Ivy Giberson, the widow, vino was ar
rested soon after she had told the, ap-
thorities she was tied and gagged by
TWO men who murdered Giberson. The
detsctivs said he did not believe her
story when she first told it and he be-
lieves 1t even less now. SO rar as out
ward appearances go, both Parker ard
Jayne are marking time, but it is char
acteristic of Parker to seem that way
when he Is really doing great DEAL
Information reached the county
authorities to-day that long before the
death Of her husband Mrs. Giberson laid
In a stock OF black clothes, including
two so-called mourning wells. They did
not take it seriously.
Joseph Richmond, son of Mrs. Giber-
son by a previous marriage, continues
to be an interesting source of specula-
ton. Neither Prosecutor Jayne nor Det-
tective Parker. however, appears much
concerned over Richmond's possible con-
nection with the case. They have not
questioned him to any considerable ex-
tent. Both made it plain no charges of
any sort had been made against the
youth
Harold a. Ganun of The Bronx. who
admitted writing some OF the letters to
Mrs. Giberson found in the Giberson
home, went back to New York this after
noon. He said he had talked with his
wife over the telephone and she had
denied she had given to Prosecutor
Jayne a packet of letters from Mrs.
Giberson to Ganun. Garun said also
that he was willing to return to Toms
River any time the Prosecutor wanted
him. but the authorities here seem to
think Ganun is out of the case.

then who'd pay the damages in a suit

liquor win carry it on the hip until they

defendant was discharged by the magic

Cap'n Bill Clinkerbilt of Sheepshead
Bay, who is skipper of thirty foot pow
er dory and has been a weather prophet
for years and years. took "a squint at
the sky yesterday and announced an
early and cool fall. Cap'n Bill saw a
flock of fifty-two wild geese heaiiag
south over Great South Bay in v forma-
ton at an altitude of $50 feet, which is
exactly the height of the Woolworth
Building.
The altituoe and the fact that there
were the same number of geese in the
flcck as there are cards in deck of
cards Cap'n Bill said, had nothing TO
do with the postent. The important thing
was the direction they were flying. +.
A. Curtis. editor of Field aud Stream,
agreed with Cap'n Bill. He said the birds
probably came from Hudson Bay or
Labrador and were going south to es-
cape the cold weather which has al
ready set in up there.
Another reason why it looks like a
cool fall, Mr.. Curtis said, was the I'M
usual thickness of the geese's plumage.
Thick feathers on migrating birds al
ways means cold weather coming.
