of Expert, Declare Surgeons
Who Examined the Disinter
red Body
(By Aaaoci*t«d Fr*M.)
NEW TORR. Sept. 12.—Burton W.
Gibaon. the New York lawyer, whose
client. Rasa Menschlk-Szabo. lost her
life while boating with him on Green
wood lake. N. T, on July 1«. was taken
into custody today by Deputy Sheriff
DeGraw, of Orange county, on a war
rant charging Gibson with murder in
the first degree. Gibson was arrested at
his office. It was announced they would
start immediately for Middletown.
Gibson came to this city this morn
ing. trailed by private detectives and a
squad of newspaper men. As he walked
through the streets to his office a crowd
of several hundred people followed him.
Gibson, with a private detective, went
to Gibson’s office and awaited the ar
rival of Deputy Sheriff McGraw. Gib
eon said to the detectives:
“I should like very much to go to
Middletown and surrender myself, if it
can be arranged. Cannot you see the
sheriff and have this thing done in as
/rn tiemanly away as possible
The prlyate detective said he would
talk to Deputy Sheriff DeGraw when he
arrived. The detective waited v Some
time for DeGraw to appear and then,
leaving Gibaon in the company of "the
newspaper men. remarked:
**T guess I’ll have to go'and hunt up
DeGraw; he seems to be lost.**
DECLARES INNOCENCE.
Gibson declared his innocence as he
wag about to leave his home in Ruth
erford. N. J., for this city, where Dep
uty Sheriff de Grew, of Orange coun
ty. was prepared to arrest him a»
soon as he set foot on New York soil.
Evidence submitted before County
Judge Royce, of Middletown, upon
which a warrant charging Gibson with
murder fn the first degree was Issued,
was most sensational Dr. Schultze,,
coroner’s physician of this city, swore
that Mrs. Szabo was so Injured before
she fell into the water that she never
breathed after she had sunk below the
surface. ,
BY JTU JTTSU.
The surgeon said there were tricks
of jiu Jitsu whereby Mrs. Szabo could
have suffered a sharp blow in the
throat which so affected a nerve as to
close her air passage, thereby making
it impossible to breathe. Dr- Schultze
said there was not a sign of water in
the Ifrfigs and no congestion.
Only expert knowledge was required
to do the trick, said Dr. Schultze, who
then asked Judge Royce to permit him
to show how it could be done. Quick
ly the surgeon pressed a point on the
fudge’s throat. The judge gaspea
and not. long after that issued the
warrant. It was planned to arraign
Gibson bfcfore Judge Royce tomorrow.
DENTES IT ALL.
Gibson issued a statement just be
fore hie arrest, reasserting his inno
cent* and insisting that there had
been no struggle either in the boat or
in the water. "I am not prepared’,*’ be
mid. “to believe that the report will
show that Szabo died of strangu
lation. There certainly was no strug
gle in the water between Mrs. Snbo
and myself. When sh« came up she
did not hit the boat in such a manner
that would cause her to die of strangu
lation. I certainly did not clutch her
by the throat.”
Gibson's greatest sorrow was in
leaving his little daughter at her home
in Rutherford. N. J. Being separatea
from her. he said, was "the worst fea
ture of the caae. ’
DEPUTY WAS ROUGH.
When Deputy Sheriff DeGraw enter
ed the building where Gibson has the
office h« met Gibson in the corridor
and seised him roughly by the arm.
Gioson protected and said he had been
assured by the detectives he would ,«ot
b« molested until noon.
DeGraw took him into custody not
withstanding.

MORGAN GM JURY
CLEARS CITY JUDGE
FROM VOTE BUYING
“Stated Positively He Had Not
Purchased Any Votes/’ Says
Grand Jury of Judge S. K.
Anderson, of Madison Court
(Special Dispatch to The Journal)
MADISON, Ga., Sept. 12.—A ringing
condemnation of the fee system and
of the election of judges and solicitors
by popular vote was contained in the
Morgan county grand jury’s present
ments, submitted to the superior court
here Wednesday afternoon when the
jury completed its work.
In emphatic and unmistakable terms
the grand jury condemned “the per
nicious, degrading and dangerous prac
tice” of buying and selling votes, for
which it returned about a score of in
dictments.
In this connection the grand jury
calls attention /to a published state
ment that Judge K. S. Anderson, of the
Madison city oourt, had been mentioned
as ona of those who admitted before
the grand jury that they purchased
votes in the primary on May 1.
“In justice to Judge Anderson, we
wish to state that no such admission
was made by him,”- says the grand
jury in its presentments. “In fact, he
stated positively that he had not pur
chased any votes."
The presentments advocate the ap
pointment of judges and solicitors by
the governor, with confirmation by the
senate, instead of their election by the
people.
On the subject of vote-buying and
selling the presentments were as fol
lows:
“Pursuant to the charge of Judge
Park, this grand jury has sought to
bring to justice all violators of the
law, and especially those who arc
guilty of buying and selling votes. We
condemn in unmeasured terms the per
nicious, degrading and dangerous prac
tice of the buying and selling of white
voters which has sprung up in our
midst in recent years; such shameful
practice is not only degrading to both
seller and bgyer, but it is destructive
to the very foundation sills upon which
our government is founded. It is openly
charged that there are men in our coun
ty who shamelessly sell their votes;
such corruption of the electorate ig little
short of treason; It it the insidious de
struction of the government to which
the offenders owe allegiance; it is dis
loyalty and treachery to every principle
of free government.
“We feel mortified and humiliated
that the corrupt practices to which we
allude have become the subject of sen
sational and exaggerated comment In
the public press.
“In this connection we would call
attention to the fact that one of these
articles stated that Judge K. 8. An
derson had been mentioned as one who
had testified that he hid purchased
Votes. * Tn justice to Judge Anderson,
we wish to state that no such admission
was made by him; In fact, he stated
positively that he had not purchased
any votes.
'The good citizens of our county are
aroused and determined to purge its
good name of this foul blot on our
civilization, and we call upon all our
citizens to aid in bringing this shame
ful practice to an end; a practice that
is more or less pbevalent throughout
the state—but none the less pernicious,
and while we deplore the necessity of
this investigation, yet we deem it, none
the less, our duty.
“Let not the money-handlers and
vote-sellers who were not indicted at
this term of the court indulge the vain
thought that they have escaped, for
rumor has 'spotted' them all, and the
Nemesis of an outraged law is* on their
track, and we call upon all succeeding
grand juries to keep the ball, which we
have put in motion, rolling until our
ballot boxes have become pure and un
tained.
“We would suggest that all Indict
ments found for buying or selling
votes that the same be tried in the su
perior court, and that such trials be
had as speedily as possible.”

ROME MERCHANTS FEAR
MEXIC INTERVENTION
Association Declares That
Trade Relations With Latin
Nations Would Be Injured
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga , Sept. 12.—Believing that
southern trade relations with all of Cen
tral and South America would be seri
ously disrupted and the purposes of the
Panama canal largely vitiated by inter
vention in Mexico, the Manufacturers
and Merchants’ association of this city
has gone on record as opposing inter
vention-
Resolutions were passed at a meeting
of the association last night strongly
urging peace on President Taft and the
congress. The resolutions say:
“While holding American life to be a
sacred charge of the American govern
ment, we realize that the American resi
dent In Mexico took up their residence
■with full knowledge of the unsettled
character of that republic, as to pro
tection both to lif<T and property.
“We realize that though much Amer
ican capital has been Invested in Mex
ico and may now be endangered, such
capital went there voluntarily, overlook
ing native opportunities for fnvestmem
no less profitable and without risk.
"We realize that the cost of armed
intervention would vastly exceed both in
blood and treasure what it would pro
tect, costing the lives of many soldiers
and burdening our government with a<V
ditional pensions and war debt.
"We realize that the bond of commer
cial intercourse not only with Mexico
but with all the western republics, will
be seriously impaired by the use of force
in Mexico, the leader among these Span
ish republics.
“We realize that at this time when
the Panama canal 13 nearing completion
and our Central and Struth American
commerce Is being nurtured so care
fully, a rupture with Mexico would be
ruinous.
"We realize that the force and example
of the United States in promoting world
peace would be dissolved by such an ac
tion. Therefore.
“Be it resolved, by the Manufacturers
and Merchants’ associatio n representing
the manufacturing, mercantile and pro
fessional life Os Rome, that we do pro
test most vigorously against the invasion
of Mexico for the so-called protection of
American interests, and strongly urge
on President Taft and the United States
congress that only such protection be
accorded these extra territorial interests
as can be extended them from the paths
of peace."

STATE FAIR GROUNDS. Syracuse.
N. Y., Sept 12.—Fifteen thousand en»
thusiastic New York farmers cheered
Gov. Woodrow Wilson here today, wherol
he discussed politics, dwelling upon and!
riddling the protective tariff system.
No speech the governor has made lit
the campaign has been better received. l
Governor Wilson reached Syracuse
at 10 o’clock. He exchanged formal!
calls with Gov. John A. Dix at the
Onondaga hotel, but did not meed
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany boss, 1
who Is here.
This afternoon Governor Wilson will
address the Democratic county chair- 1
men, who are assembled here for the
meeting of the state committee.
How New York state’s electoral vote*
are to be cast for president may be
settled today by developments in Syra
cuse. ~» I
ARE AGAINST DIX.
Members of the national committee
consulted for hours yesterday on the
New York situation. The Wilson lead
ers do not want Governor Dix renom
inated. but are timid about speaking
out in meeting for fear what they say
will be charged against their chief.
They have been told that Mr. Murphy,
does not want Mr. Dix but that the
Tammany leader insists it is the duty
of the Wilson managers to express their
views.
Senator O’Gorman, who is t|ie only
connecting link between the natlomi'
committee and Tammany, also is in
Syracuse, and will attend the state
committee meeting. Jle will represent
the new executive committee of the
Wilson camp. The senator indicated
that he believed Mr. Dix must not ba
renominated.
STATE SITUATION. Z’Z
Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, for
merly the national chairman, made a
report on the upstate situation, which,
was not at all complimentary U> Gov
ernor Dix. There was a report thit.
Senator O’Gorman had been chosen to
speak for Governor Wilson.
Mr.' Murphy was credited with hav
ing suggested the Syracuse meeting,
the first since last spring, for the .i>u •
pose of putting the New York stat*
situation squarely up to Governor Wil-,
son if Mr. Wilson will say a few
words publicly indicating that he
not wish to see Mr. Dix in the race.
It is believed the Tammany men will
instantly withdraw their support or it
he indicates that/he would be pleasotf
to see Sir. Dix renamed it is believed
Tammany would get behind the New
York governor and place the responsi
bility on the New Jersey governor.
Tammany Is doing its best to get out
' of a tight box, according to the politi
cians, through the maneuvers tbday.
It is admitted almost openly in the
Wigwam tuat Tammany does not wanv
Mr. Dix, but is eager to nominate Jus
tice Victor J. Dowling. The pinch is
that Tammany does not see away to
do it.
Gov. Woodrow Wilson reached hsra at If
o’clock this morning with Acting Chair
man McAdoo, of the national qpmmlttee,
and Norman E. Mack, former national
chairman. The party went to a hotel,
where they met Governor Dix and his
staff.
The meeting of the Democratic stats
committee and the conference of Demo
cratic county chairman, called here to
day to give the leaders of the state an
opportunity to greet Gov. Woodrow Wil
son gave abundant opportunity for coni
ferences concerning the makeup ot thS
ticket that is to be • nominated by the
state convention when it meets here on

Governor Dix. who is seeking renoinin*:
tion at the hands of his party, has not;
changed his attitude on the subject. “I’m
a candidate,” he saia today, “and ex
pect to be renominated and re-elected.”
NO SLATE FIXING.
Although there was much discussion
of Democratic candidates, there appeared
to be no disposition to "fix a slate,”"
three weeks in advance of the state con
vention. “Time enough for that after thS
Republicans have named their ticket aft
Saratoga,” said one of tlie leaders. "Ou/
chief mission here today is to greet GOVr
ernor Wilson.” - •
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader?
has been testing sentiment among the>
' up-state committeemen, but has declined.
' to indicate what he has learned or what
IMs preferences are. It is well knowtf,
I however, that some of the leaders have
expressed their opposition to the renom- “
ination of the governor.
