SPEECH F[AYS
MRS. G|BERSON
Declares Her Story OF Robbery
TOO FancifuI to Warrant
Belief"
b, International New. Service.

TOMS RIVER, N. j., Oct. 1S.-
The state asks you jurors not TO be
swayed from your duty by the fact
, that this defendant is q woman.
declared Assistant Prosecuting At
I torney A. l.. Berry, summing up
today in the trial OF Mrs. Ivy II.
Giberson, Of Lakehufst, accused of
numbering her husband while he
slept, on the night of August IA.
The assistant prosecutor declared
! that Mrs. Giberson's story Of the
killing Of her husba.1d by two rob-
Ders was "too fanciful to warrant
belief" He added:
"On the night Of August IL VIII
liam Giberson retired. feeling safe
in the security Of his home. The
( only other person present was his
! wife-this defendant. Some time
later (eariy on the morning Of
August l5) he was ruthlessly and
deliberately murdered. The first
alarm was given by the defendant
about Two hours later. Railroad men
. responded and found Mrs. Giberson
at the foot Of the stairs. II was
dark. The house was in perfect
order. She said: We have been
robbed. viii has been shot The
uppermost thing in her mind was
! robbery, not the loss OF her nus.
band. II you believe that this
woman, and she Is no weakling,
could have been seized and tied up
without overturning any furniture
you can believe more than ! can.
{ II was JOB for four men"
Mrs. Giberson is handsome
woman Of matronly dimensions
, She was known in Lakehurst for
| her church and charitable activi,
! ties. Her husband was wall to do
and owned the 1akehurst taxicab
! service.
! Mrs. Giberson listened coolly to
the accusations of the assistan
, prosecutor. There was no sign OF
nervousness nor emotion. She kept
| her hands folded In her lap and at
times glanced idly about tho court
room.
Aftrl reviewing some Of the evi'
denGe, Prosecutor Berry continued:
This napkin. which Mrs. Giber'
son. said was placed In her mouth
as a gag, was never in anybody g
mouth. There was not a single
bruise upon the defendants body
She could have tied herself or she
! could have been tied by an accom-
plice.
How could robber take such
deadly aim as TO shoot Giberson
through the top OF the head In
the pitch dark as he entered the
room? Giberson's head was turned
the other way. 1t is a fanCiful
tale. II there were robbers why
did they not take the jewelry that
was in plain sight? There was
no robbery"
The prosecutor declared that eN
animation of, Giberson's bank book
showed alterations and erasures.
DO YOU believe that this husky
woman could have been tied un
with bit OF twine?" demanded the
( prosecutor. In addition, there
was dog in the, yard, but It made
no outcry on the night of this
alleged robbery

said that he knew nothing Of the
existence Of these letters until they

Mrs. Hall was called to the
court house yesterday and ques-
toned about phases of the mystery.
Her brothers, Henry Stevens, an

as both strong and weak minded,

What the authorities learned
from the five was not revealed

This squirt of activity on the
part Of the investigators was the
result Of the exclusive publication
by Universal Service of Halls

Mills.
They sought to use some Of the
information contained in the ardent
notes to further their Interrogation.
Heretofore the authorities have
denied knowledge Of any letters
from Hall to Mrs. Mills. These
letters. however. swept away any
lingering doubt that the jovial pas

A. statement issued today by
Prosecutor Beekman Indicates tho
investigators didn't learn much
from those they questioned yester.
day. His statement reads:
we have today examined Mr5
Hall. Henry Stevens and Willie
Stevens. These examinations were
prompted by some new information
received which cannot be disclosed
We do not intend to arrest any per.
son today and any other statement
than the above is unauthorized.
The statement followed persistent
reports that man and woman. both

Henry Stevens spent four hours in
the offices Of the prosecutors. He
emerged unruffled and drove away.
Mrs. Hall was nervous, however.
When she left the court house she,
was accompanied by her attorney,
Timothy Newell Pfiffer and her
friend. Saliie Peters.
Mrs. Hall. II is stated, was asked
directly, in view OF the publication
Of the letters. whether she still
