GIBSON SOHE HE WILjJE FREED Calm Demeanor Not Changed By Murder Charge CLAIMS A PERFECT DEFENSE In Long Statement Accused Attorney Declares Woman, Scared by Thun der, Leaped Into Greenwood Lake. Burton W. Gibson, accused at Middletown, N. Y of the murder of .Mrs. Rose Manschik Szabo, calmly went over his relationship with the woman, described the tragedy, assert ed that he had a perfect defense and expressed entire confidence that he will soon be at liberty. His long state ment summarized follows: He went to Greenwood lake with her to assist her In selecting a quiet resort where she might spend several weeks. Mrs. Szabo or Mrs. Bitter, as Gibson calls her, did not fall out of the boat on the first trip, but Jumped Into two feet of water frightened by a thunderstorm. She could swim a little, but he can swim a very little. She arose In the boat, which was round bottomed, and fell overboard and he went over with her. When he went to her assistance she grappled with him and with her arms around his neck and her legs iround his waist he went to the bot tom of the lake with her. He used only sufficient force at the bottom of the lake to free himself and does not remember when she came to the surface afterward. He did not strike her a blow which would have Inflicted any fatal or incapacitating Injury. Dr. Schultze, coroner's physician, swore before the court that Mrs. Szabo died by asphyxiation by strangulation and not by asphyxiation of sub mersion, which would have been the case if slip had been drowned when she fell out of the boat on Greenwood lake on July 10. In other words the physician who has conducted many autopsies swore that Mrs. Szabo was so Injured that, she never breathed after she went be low the surface of the water. Tho testifying of the surgeon injected into the case a new feature which com bined the Japanese J 1 it Jitsu with an expert knowledge of anatomy and physiology. According to the surgeon, before Mrs. Szabo went out of the boat on that day she received a sharp blow r-n the throat, which so affected the laryii!;enl nerve ns to close her air passages making R Impossible for her to breathe. The fact that, she had never drawn breath after she was struck was shown by the fact that al though she was In the water there was no slpn of water In her lungs. She stopped breathing before she fell and died In consequence. Tn his further testimony Dr. Bchultze, who went further Into the case, testified that the blow which was administered nt the apex of the throat Just under the chin might have been a single sharp application of the thumb by a man who knew absolutely what be was doing or It could have been done hy the use of several fingers of the hand applied for an In- flnitessinial part of a minute. Expert knowledge was thp only thing neces sary. Once the pressure was proper ly applied there was no further work to be done. The woman would go overboard, sink without a struggle and die without ever taking a breath. NOGI AND WIFE SUICIDES End Lives at Conclusion of Rites Over Dead Mikado.
