SLEW FOR LOVE?
Woman Held in Murder of Hus-
band Says She's Innocent.
Robbers Gagged Her, Then
Shot, She Declares to Police.

Lakehurst. N. J., Aug. 15.-Mrs.
William r. Giberson, So years old and
beautiful. a leading member of the
Lakewood Methodist church and
staunch supporter of religious reforms.
Is in Jail at Toms River today charged
with the murder of her husband,
while the police declare that a sensa-
ton will follow not devoid of roman
tic embellishments Prosecutor w. II.
Jaynes, Jr.. who ordered the womans
arrest. said he expected at least one
more arrest within twenJy-four hours.
Love letters found in Mrs. Giber-
sons dressing table furnish the clew
upon which the police are now at
work.
Mrs. Giberson took her arrest calm
-lS. She claimed her husband had
been killed by burglars. She said she
was aroused from her sleep and as she
went to the kitchen to Investigate. she
was seized by two men, who bound
and gagged her with a handkerchief
put in her mouth One of the men,
she said, entered her husbands bed
room and a moment later she heard
shot. The man in the kitchen ex-
claimed:
why did you do that?" she said.
The other man is alleged to. have
replied:
because he was just waking up"
The woman's screams attracted the
attention of people living near, who
notified the police.
- Giberson, who owned the lakewood
Laxicab Service, was comfortably
wealthy. He had drawn $500 from
the bank to go to Philadelphia to buy
q new motor car and had this money
in the house when the killing took
place.
Investigation revealed Giberson was
shot in the back of the head with a
as caliber revolver. The muzzle was
SO close to the head, the hair was
singed. While detectives were search
ing the house they noted that Mrs.
Giberson made frequent trips to
clubhouse. Upon investigation, a IS
caliber revolver was found hidden in
pile OF rubbish.
This intensified the search of the
house and then the love letters ad-
dressed to Mrs. Giberson were found.
They were said to be about seventy
five OF them couched in passionate
terms of endearment. The writer was
said to have had an appointment to
meet Mrs. Giberson in a New York
City hotel last night.

ASKS FOR S5,259 DAMAGES
Brooklyn Man Files Action Against
Leavenworth Grocery Firm.

Suit has been filed in the office of
the clerk of the federal court in To-
peka, by Bany Levy, of Brooklyn, N.
Y. against the Bittman-Todd Grocery
company. of Leavenworth, for dam
ages in the sum of s5,259.37. The pc
tition filed alleges that in 1920, car
load of canned fruit. bought thru the
Leavenworth firm, was found to have
been damaged in shipment from Cali
fornia and to have been of a lower
quality than was specified in the pur-
chase contract.
The plaintiff further set forth that
the Leavenworth company refused to
make any settlement or to be respon-
sible for the condition of the fruit.
The sight draft for the shipment was
paid because it was attached to the
bill of lading OF the car, according to
the petition, and the difference be-
tween the amount of that sight draft
and the price for which the fruit was
finally sold in New York city, plus the
added expenses of Bany Levy in hand
ling it. constitute the damages which
are asked for in the petition.

Vibration is destructive. 1t shortens
the life of a car. 1t takes the pleasure
out of riding because it causes rattles,
squeaks and other irritating noises.
Vibration is particularly annoying in
closed cars.
There is no perceptible period of vibra-
ton in the Studcbaker Light Six at any
speed. This is due in part to Studebaker's
method of machining the crankshaft and
connecting rods On all surfaces. No other
car, at anywhere nee. the price, follows
this practice.
