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.
