II. Jeffrey, Tho third degreo episode occurred In tho county jail at 2.20 o'clock thla morning. At that hour Prosecutor Jayne with Ga Nun, two State troopers and a de- tective appeared at tho Jail. Jayno said ho wanted to bco Mrs. Giberson. Utider-Hlicri- ff Hrown went to her colt and awakened her. Sho dressed and sat on hor cot, composedly, and waltod for tho visitors. \What do you want?\ she asked us tho men appeared at the door of bar cell. \I don't want anything from you,\ replied the Prosecutor. Thcro wus sllenco for a few mo- ments. Then Ga Nun said: \Mrs. Giberson, I've told Mr. Parker everything, and ho thought j on ought to know.\ \Very well, Mr. Ga Nun.\ roplled the woman. \Hut you don't know anything; therefore, anything you havo said Is of no concern to me.\ Tho prosecutor and his party left. lindor-Sherl- ff Hrown said that Mrs. GlUuson was sound asleep aguln In half an hour. The \Parkor\ referred to by Ga Nun Is County Dotectlvo Parker of Uiir-llngt- County who worked on the Ilriinen minder mystory and finally ai rested Mrs. nrtinen on tho chargu of Instigating tho inurdor of her hus- band, a well known circus proprietor. Parker has been called Into tho Gib- erson case by Prosecutor Jayno. Ga Nun was asked y by an Renlng World reporter if ho realized the Import of his statement to Mrs. Giberson that ho had \told Mr. Par-k- i r evervtldng.\ \Say replied Ga Nun, \you can't tell mo anvthlng about things of this kind I used to bo a Now York cop. I worked nt Headquarters under an Inspector, who Is now retired, for p0 days In 101 1.\ The iccords at Pollco Headquurtcrs do not substantiate Ga Nun. They show that ho wns taken Into tha de- partment as a probationary odlcer on May 3, 1917. Ho was dropped from tho rolls on Nov. 11, 1917. ThU was at the end of his probationary period. Probationary policemen who havo not proved satisfactory are automatically droppeil at tho end of their six months' service and no cause Is re- corded In the files of the department.
