s MRS, GIBSON BEING Lindbergh’s “Sky Hook” Discloses “___ THK BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1934 HELD IN BURLEIGH | Flight of Plant Organisms in Air JAIL BY REQUEST McKirdy, Confessed Slayer of Wife in Second Intrigue, Returned to Dickinson Mrs. Gladys Gibson, Stark county woman accused of the first-degree murder of her husband, was an (n- mate of the Burleigh county jail Monday, having been moved here from Mandan at her own request. Theodore Kellogg, blond and youth- ful state's attorney of Stark county, talked with her there Sunday as did John Keohane of Beach, her attor- ney. Kellogg was accompanied by H. A. Mackoff, bald-headed and not- so-youthful assistant prosecutor. Following his conversation with Mrs, Gibson, Kellogg moved to re~ fute charges by Mrs. Belle R. Web- ster, mother Of Mrs, Gibson, that the two daughters of the accused woman had been spirited away from Dickin- son. In a habeas corpus action filed Saturday, Mrs. Webster asserted her daughter was being held incommun-! | ieado and that her granddaughters | were being -held in the custody of Mrs, Amy Martinson, sister-in-law of John Lish, Stark county sheriff. Two Girls Visit Mother The fact of the matter, Kellogg said, was that the two girls, Edith, 16, and Pearl, 14, were in Bismarck visiting their mother, brought here at her request by Mack- off. They have been here since Fri-: day. The reason Mrs. Gibson is not be- ing held in Stark county, Kellogg said, is that the jail at Dickinson has no provision for women prisoners and she would be forced to share jail ac- commodations with men_ prisoners, among them Joe Donis, 26, branded by the officials as paramour of Mrs. Gibson and violator of her 16-year- old daughter. Herbert McKirdy, confessed slayer of his wife in the second murder mys- tery cleared up by Kellogg. was held in Bismarck Saturday night and re- turned to Dickinson Sunday. He faces a second-degree murder charge as the result of turning a shotgun upon his wife during a family quar- rel. Officials agree that he was in- toxicated at the time. Meanwhile, Kellogg revealed that the prosecution will seek to unfold at Me Mrs. Gibson's trial a story of marital intrigue and of persistent detective | Noun work which finally wrung a confes- sion from the accused woman. Donis Branded ‘Gigolo’ The leading actors in the bloody drama were Mrs. Gibson, her hus- band, Nathaniel Gibson, a rural mail carrier, Joe Donis, branded by Mack- off as a “gigolo” and the Gibson's eldest daughter. 4 In conversations Sunday, Kellogg said, Mrs. Gibson asserted that Donis, | Normal, Janu: then sleek-haired and well dressed a Pee deficiency te date’ ‘Sas TEMPERATURES Low- the approved manner of the drug- store cowboy, had become her lover before her husband's death. Then came Gibson's murder, declar- ed by a coroner's jury to be a sul- cide on the bagis of evidence present- ed to it.

During this time, Kellogg said Mrs. Gibson confessed Sunday, he was on intimate terms with her and also became intimate with ‘her oldest daughter. It is because of the latter fact that Donis faces a charge of ever, that Mrs. Gibson aj tly did | ne know of Donis’ affair with the girl.

The one whose story is un- changed is Mrs. Gibson’s brother, who refused to talk upon the advice of his attorney. Kellogg also disclosed thc reasons why officials were convinced Gibson’s death was not a suicide. Seat Mrs. Gibson had said that her hus- band came home intoxicated and abu- sive, that he had undergone bank-|&: ruptcy some time before and was despondent and that, in this condi- tion, he had shot himself. But Gibson was a right-handed man and, if he shot himself, he held kane, . Switt Current, S., the pistol in his left hand while he! wy did so. The bed upon which he lay was pushed against the wall, so that anyone using the pistol except himself would have had to sheot him in the left side of the head as he lay in it. In addition, there was no disarrange- ment of the bed, the well-pressed sbeee being folded neatly around the ly. TILB FURTHER NOTICE!

F. Hayes of Springfield, division su- perintendent of the railroad with offices at Bellefontaine O. Hayes was in charge of the investigation of the wreck for the,railroad. James Newman, a 55-year-old vet- eran railroader, was the pilot of the first locomative of a double-header midnight express which sideswiped the road's eastern mail early Sunday. Engineer F. E. Springer, 42, of Cleveland, and Fireman J. U. O’Mal- ley, 42, of Cleveland, the crew of the second locomotive, were killed. Carrying 115 passengers, including many Ohio State University students. returning to their homes for Christ- mas, the midnight roared over a cut- off which circled the Delaware city limits and sped onto the main line as the eastern mail was clearing the connection. The locomotives of: the midnight struck the eastern mail the second car from the rear, tossing a coach and an express car in different diret- tions before burying themselves in a ditch and demolishing a signal tower. Newton D. Baker of Cleveland, for- mer secretary of war, was a passen- ger on the midnight express. He was |— unhurt. None of the passengers was hurt seriously.
