Iakehurst. she told of having besa held up in her home and bounl again. This time, she said. S2oo was taken. In neither case were the ree. bers caught. Now Mrs. Giberson tells Of having been kirded about with twlne- and gagged by the men vAe killed her husband in their home last Monday morning, and when rAtlYeAd men found her that was her plight.
 The detective says he has also As- certained that virtually all the prop erty accumulated by the Gibersons is in the widows name, including real estate and cash.
 Man Proves Alibi.
 Harold Ganun, the construction worker who wrote letters to xyA Giberson which were found in | Su- reau drawer in her home, appears Co be fading out of the picture. Preee. cutor Jayne said this afternoon he had no further expectation of con- meeting Ganun with the murder. Ganun showed Polo Grounds rain check for last Saturday afternoon and it is understood offered q perfect Alioi for all the period between then and now George McGee of Lakehurpt has given Mir. Jayne detailed story of having seen two men-one leAt and the other short, of coursA-Arku. ing with Giberson in front of the lAt- ters house Sunday morning. Giber- son is supposed to have cleaned them out" in d crap game.
 Ganun, who came to ocean county ..,., hHAA A. terday and was brought face to face with Mrs. Giberson in the county jail at Toms River early this morn. ing, continues to insist he and eAA were good friends and nothing nsFe. He says he looked upon her As upon a relative. Jayne and Parker believe Ganun tells the truth.
 Mrs. Giberson and GanunS >pa- rately tell stories which coincieeS S6 I am inclined to agree with th&t>," said the detective last night.
 According to Parker, Mrs. oictr. son corresponded with Mrs. GanuA as well as with her husband in the same friendly vein. and sometimes met both the Ganuns in places other than Lakehurst.
 
 Parker would like to have MrS. but the husband says he won't let her set foot in New Jersey. She !s iA Germantown. N. '. Prosecutor Jayne hasn't decided whether to cad for her or not There has been aA intimation that he has already rs- ceived from her letters sent by Mre. Giberson to Ganun, but Jayne will not admit it, and some persons be- lieve the letters do not exist.
 Says Detective Parker: I'm ~1il- ing to admit that things Ganun waa supposed to have done may prove, after investigation, to have been dono by someone else. But added the canny man hunter, T don't care te say just now who I have In rnind."
 The small sum of circurtAstAntiaI evidence against Mrs Giberson yes. terday received these additions: Not cnly have two bottles containing come to light in the 0ib. ,rson home, but an empty bottle which had contained the same druk. The chloroform in this third bottle was not bought in Lakehurst, Lake wood or any town in the direction ,f New York the authorities say. They are trying to run down tho source and the buyer. In relation to he theory that Giberson was chloro- ormed before he was shot, there Is offered the fact that a square piece ,f cotton cloth, wadded, was found n an otherwise empty coffee can in he house and that it was slightly lamp. It did not smell of chloro. orm or anything else, according to he most sensitive nostrils in this re- .ion. The detective and the coroner ire agreed the autopsy would not lave revealed the presence of chlorc- orm at the time of Giberson's death, ven if he had inhaled a lot of 1t while asleep.
 Seek Giberson's SLIGO.

Its whereabouts now has lot been ascertained, Detective PAY- .er says Giberson was not a gambler n which he is disputed by certain nen of the town, who say that. buoy S Giberson was, he was not teo usy to drop off once in a while and ake a hand in stiff crap game.
