If ho had family difficulties ho would not be likely to tell anybody about them. For tho last month ho had spent only a few nights at homo and was Infre- quently Been In Lakchurst. He was engaged In building up a jitney busi- ness In Mount Holly and spent most of his tlmo there. A rcpoit that Giborson's wallet, which Mrs. Glbui-so- snys was taken away by tho burglars with Its con- tents, amounting to $700. had been found burled In tho yard of the Giber-to- n homo la erroneous. Tho wallet has not been found. Gtberson, a retired lumber dealer, ' who had opened a thriving taxlcab business, was found dead In bed, shot through tho brain, early yesterday. His wlfo Bald two burglars had killed him, tho oiio doing tho shooting ex- plaining to \.10 other: \Ho Is waking up.\ Sho said they hound and gag- ged her and left her on tho floor. Investigation showed that Olberson had been killed aa ho slept, tho re- volver being placed bo closo to his liead that tho pillow was powder burned. Ho had drawn $700 from tho .bank on Saturday to buy a new car, and this was missing, together with ills auto Ucenso and other papers, which Mrs. Glberson said tho burglars had taken. \Her story did not ring truo,\ I'rosccutor Wilfred H. Jayne Jr.. said later. He, Sheriff Holman, Lieut. McDonald and County Dotcctlvo Kills I'arker of Burlington County, who was asked to aid, began a thorough In- vestigation after lulling tho suspicions , of the widow by making her think they held a theory entirely different from their real ono that alio was tho slayer. Their plan was to watch her every movo, and It was her nervous, furtive actions, they say, that lod them to build up what they believe is a strong circumstantial case, and chargo that sho killed her husband that sho might marry tho other man. Thcro Is a theory that moro than one man might have been Implicated, and .several arrests may bo tnudo beforo 'tho case Is cleared . When the authorities got well Into their investigation, they could find no signs of a struggle In any of tho seven rooms of the house, no ono who hoard ono, or who hoard the shot. Detectives assigned to watch Mrs. Glberson, without appearing to, no-tfe- that sho had two points of in- terest, a spare bedroom and an out building In tho back yard. Sho .seemed to wander aimlessly around, but tho watcher was certain sho had 'an objoct. Whnn shn went Into tho smre room the first time sho was seen to push a dressing table. Whenever sho got ,Ii ear It sho gavo It a shovo us it to get It out of tho way. Finally sho moved tho tabic against the wall. Suspected an sho was, her action aroused keen Interest In the detective, who noted at once that the table had been so moved that tho side from which Its drawer opened now faced tho wall and the drawer might easily be overlooked. Ho reported to Pros- ecutor Jayne and Mrs. Olberson was lolled off to another part of tho house to help In some pretended search. Then the table was pulled out and the drawer opened. Mr. Jayne read a half dozen of tho letters. They told their tale of lovcmaklng by the writer and Mrs. Glberson. , They were addressed in endearing terms to Mrs. Glberson by a man not Identified except that ho Is one seen often with the accused woman re cently. One of the letters said tho writer had an engagement In the Hotel McAlpin at 8 o'clock last night. Tho New York police were requested to -- watch for thts man at the hotel and arrest him, but he did not ap- pear. Prosecutor Jayno stated his be lief that Mrs. Glberson had two nc- - .compUccs In tho killing of her bus 'band. At various times Mrs. Glberson would go to the outbuilding, and after she had made fourteen trips two mn were sent to search the place. They found a .38 calibre revolver buried in refuse. It was a 'Juliet of tlhs cull bp- - that killed Glberson. The detec lives saio me revolver uoro iracua ui having recently been fired. Later Its bolster was discovered hidden with another revolver In Mrs. Glbcrson's closets. Detectives then began a boldor search of the premises, feeling cer tain of their ground. Under a piece of furnlturo they found a ball of twlno from which had been cut tho pieces with which Mrs. Glberson said . . . U 1. 1 I...... I 1 V.l... 15 II U I1UU UVVIl IIW. ilUUlM WHO pair of scissors. Tho Investigators reasoned that burglars would not carry a whole ball of twlno when few lengths would sufllce, and that us It was light cord they would have broken It, not stopped to hunt for scissors with which to cut it. Mrs, Glberson was then placed un der arrest She did not appear to bo surprised or cxclttd, meiely saylmr . they would have to wait until sh changed her clothes. After the an est of Mrs. Glberson the Investigation was coullnued, Hidden at the bottom of a basketful of soiled clothing and other things for the family wash tho detectives found two cartridges of which had been wrapped In paper and placed under the dirty clothes. They also discovered In the kitchen a pile of napkins from which hud been token the one with which Mrs. Gib rrson said she had been gagged. The pile would have toppled to the floor haq an unfamiliar hand touched It I the dark, Prosecutor Jayne refused to give .ny Intimation of the identity of the limn In tho case. Ho said he had reason to believe this man was prcs tut when uioerson was killed, and run away with the $700, leaving Mrs Glberson to dispose of the pistol and so arrange things to bolster up the utory she was to tell, PRE D N T ROADS' REPLY NOT REAL ACCEPTAIMC E Big Systems in Minority Not Bound by Agreement to Take Men Back. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve ning World.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G (Copy right). Tho acceptnnco by tho railroad executives of President Harding's proposal that strikers be re instated whllo seniority disputes nro left to the United States Hallroad tlo.'U'l has been discovered to bo no substantial acceptance after all. Although tho White House was un der tho Impression at first that the making of a majority and minority report by the rail executives wns of nn particular Importance on tho theory that thu action of the majority bound tho minority, tho opposite is true. President Hurding bus been Informed that the minority nmong tho railway executives, which Includes such big systems as tho Pennsylvania, will not bo bound by tho action of tho other roads nnd will go their own way. This discouragement has cast u damper on what might otherwlso have pioduccd nn unqualified mcasuio of support for tho i all executives. Tho reply of tho majority made a favor- able Impression on Mr. Hare-lug- . who thought the proposal fair and equita- ble Now ho has learned that tho largo number of strikers who work for tho minority of the roads would not bo reinstated. This Is tho stum- bling block of tho present situation and Is tho main reason for tho flat refusal given by the strikers to the Piesldent's proposal. In other words, tho strikers waited to see whether tho rail executives would agree to taku back tnose who had gono out on strike, and when It became apparent that no general agreement was possible they placed beforo Mr. Harding their rejection or his plan. Significantly onugh. this communication has not yet been mudo public, which Indicates that If tho rull executives aro persuaded to modify their position, or rather to Includo nil tho roads In their proposal, the labor leuders will bo Inclined to change their attitude Tho Intervention by thobiotherhood chiefs has brought tho situation to a climax. Most everybody In .Wash- ington Is fearful of a general tlo-u- p of transportation If tho laboi men nre goaded too far. Just ns the seniority Ibbuo arose after tho strike had begun on nulto another basis, namely, a refusal to accept a wage decision, so Is tho seniority problem developing some academlo arguments which are making tho brotherhood leaders ap- prehensive of their own rights. The question of whether a man wno quits his job leaves the employ of tho railroad In a legal senso or whether ho li, still In tho road's employ, but merely In tho samo status as a sus- pended employee would Ikj If the road took tho Initiative, has become me crux of tho dispute. tno laoor leaders Insist that tho striker Is still In the road's employ: First, because ho has not been dismissed and, sec- ond, has not given notice of his Inten tion permanently to remain out of the road's employ. The brotherhoods aio worKing tootti and nail to prevent the establishment f any precedent which will afreet them in caso they have grluvancea In the future and wish bo strike as a means of protest, bimilany, tuc rail executives are adamant not be cause they have recruited so many mon during tho strike aa to mane it embarrassing for them to dismiss strikebreakers, but because they want n hold tho thrcnt of a loss or senior ity rights over the beads of all lull- - road workers In the tuture. Until tho Lubor Hoard earns me reajiect of both . employers nnd em- ployees und the public aa well, and has the prestlgo to convince both sides of the futility of disobedience, the denial of tho right to strike on railroads will bo fought In Congress bv tho lubor bloc and tho situation will lie llttlo changed from what It was whon the present strike began.

Alderman Georgo U. Harvey of tho 5Slh Aldermanlo District, who Satur- day requested Mayor Hylan to call a special meeting of tho Board of Al- dermen to consider tho fuel crisis tn this city, has prepared a resolution which he vlll submit at the meeting Thursday.

The resolution Is In part: \Resolved First, that tho members of tho Bonrd of Aldermen will at once ninko n survey of their Aldet manic districts, securing information as to tho number of fuel distributers, tholr namos and addresses, the amount of coal, wood or other fuel on hand, tho estimated requirements for the com- ing winter, based upon tho Inst year's business; this report to be In tho hands of the committee not later than .Monday, Aug. 21. Second That tho President of tho Board of Aldermen appoint a special committeo to be known as tho Board Aldermen Fuel Committee to bo composed of seventeen members. nro provided for hasty survey of tho situation; for discovery of means of obtaining coal, wood and oil from Kuropc; to report on powers of the Aldermen In pur- chasing fuel, smoke control und to draft needed changes In ordinances; to report on transportation of fuel and on distribution.

They have so indicated to Urovcr A. Vhulcn, Chalimaan of the Hoard ot Purchase, since it has been learned that the Uoaul ot Aldermen is to meet Thursday and tuthortee the puivhapo of coal In tho open market. It Is not likely that Commissioner Whalen will null himself of theso kindly offers, unless the city failed in every attempt to get fuel elsewhere at reasonablo prices. Commissioner Whalen has rccclveu so ninny offers from coal dealers dur ing the past twenty-fou- r uours inai he docs not think there ts much likeli hood of a coal famine in city Institu- tions.
