DEBTS OF CIVIL WAR

RELICS AND RARE BOOKS AT STAKE
Ropes of Pearls, Heavy Bands of

Bracelets are Among
Gems Pledged
NEW YORK,. Sept. 13. The price
less collection "of art objects, relics
and rare editions belonging to Gen
eral Daniel E. Sickles, which recent
ly was orderd sold under the sheriff's
hammer to satisfy an $8000 judgment
was saved today. The judgment was
paid at the cost of humiliation and
sacraflce on the part of the woman
. of noble Spanish birth whom the Gen
eral married 41 years ago, but from
whom he has been estranged for
twenty-seven years.
That the husband with whom
she could not find happiness might
not know the sorrow of parting with
his loved books and works of art, this
woman took her jewels, tokens, of
the days of her youth, when she was
a belle at the Spanish court, and pass
ed them over the counter of a Sixth
Avenue pawnshop this afternoon.
She parted with enough gems to
draw from the coffers of the lender
the money needed to satisfy the
judgment against General Sickles' rel
ics. Accompanied by her son, Stan
ton Mrs. Sickles went to the offices
of the Knickerbocker Trust Company
soon after noon) and took away, a
pasteboard box containing her jewels.
The two then proceeded to the pawn
shop. There, with trembling hand
Mrs. Sickles broke the string that
bound the cover to the litle box she
laid on the counter.
Tears trickled down her cheeks.
Her son stood by her side, his head
bowed.
Mrs. Sickles took the jewels from
the box one by one. There were
ropes of pearls, heavy bands of gold
set with diamonds and bracelets and
brooches of antique design.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 Burton W.
Gibson, the New York lawyer, whose
client, Rosa Menschik Szabo, lost her
life while boating with him on Green
lief Lake, N. Y.t on July 16, was tak
en in custody today by Deputy Sher
iff DeGraw of Orange County on a
warrant charging Gibson with murder
in the first degree. Gibson was ar
rested in his office.
Gibson declared his innocence as he
was about to leave his home in Ruth
erford, N. Y., for this city, where Dep
uty Sheriff De Graw of Orange Coun
ty was prepared to arrest him as soon
as he set foot on New York soil.
Dr. Schultie, coroner's physician of
this city, swore that Mrs. Szabb was
so injured before she fell into the
water that she never breathed after
she had sunk below the surface. The
surgeon said there were tricks of jiu
jiutsu, whereby Mrs. Szabo could have
suffered a sharp blow on the throat
which so affected a nerve as to close
her ain passage, thereby making it
impossible for her to breathe,

a squad of reporters. As he walked
through the streets to his office a"
crowd of several hundred persons fol

detective, went to his office and await
ed the arrival of Deputy Sheriff De
Graw. Gibson said to the detective:
"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 done in as
gentle a way as possible?"
The detective said that he would
talk to De Graw when he arrived. The
detective waited for some time and
then, leaving Gibson in company of
the newspaper men, remarked: "I
guess I' have to go 'and hunt up De
Graw. He seems to be lost."
Gibson's statement, reasserting his

in tne water, says:

BEWARE! THIS IS -FRIDAY,
THIRTEENTH
Beware! This is Friday the thir
teenth. If "you are superstitious and
courting bad luck you will certainly
have it today. The following sugges
tions are timely; If you own an au
tomobile and go motoring today it
would be well not to try to
run over the Shasta Limited. If you
have a case in court do your best to
get a postponement. If you have ap
pendicitis wait until tomorrow to have
your vermiform appendix made nil. If
you can't get out of playing billiards
take on an easy man like John Cooke
or J. E. Hedges. Ignore, by all means,
all of Charley Babcock's invitations
to play. And for goodness sake, don't
find -the book the Colonel lost in
Portland, for if you do, you will go
to the penitentiary for life. Governor
West, of course, will see that there
are no hangings.
