Main of Paw Mr. and | Nathan J. Gibbs Directly in Path of Big Rock as Top of Cliffside in Quarry Where He Was Superin- tendent—Death Was Instantaneous. 4 — (Special to The Bulletin.) Haverstraw, 1. Y, Dec. 27.—A huge bouider looscned by a blast rolled down a clift side at the Tomkins Cove stone quarry today and instantly crushed out the lite of N. J. Gibbs, Superintendent an1 general manuser of the quarry, who with a heiper was irying to dislodge the massive rock. The helper was struck by fragments and so seriously injured that he may e. Just after a blust had heen sel ofi at the quarry Buperintendent Gibbs no- tized that & rock weighing from two to three tons had beceme loosened on the edge of the traprock cliff where the blast was exploded and was Tock ing danserousiz. With one of the foreigners he tried to clin.b the pre- clpitous heizht and complete the di iodgment. The men slipped back once and then Gibbs started up again alone. He was herdly more than half way when the big rock came tumbling stralght for him. With hardly an in- stant’s warning ths boulder struck and terribly mangled him. His helper at the cliff's base escaped the direct path of the boulder, Gibbs, who was married last sum- mer and lved here with his wife, was well known and liked in the little vil- lage made up largely of the 706 or £00 employes of tha qQUAITY company. Almost unbelievable and terrvfving in its suddenness wes the news of the death of Nathan J. Gibbs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan A. Gibbs, of this elt. which was received here on Wednesds: afternoon, as told in the above des- patch.

Returning from there, he was for a time located in the southwesterri part of the coun- ry, but he decided to return east -~d secured the position as suverintendent end general manager of the Tomkins Cove Stone company, which he has filled with much satisfaction for the past seven or elght months. On July 12 in New York he was united in marriage with Miss Wright. Iy whom he is survived. He also leaves his parents and two _sisters, Miss Natalle K. Gibbs and Miss Mary Gibbs, of this city. The deceased had a career of much promise before him. He had made good ¢n all the engineering work he had teen connected with and was a most capable young man. Mr. Gibbs was about 27 vears of age. He possessed the gualities which made him popular with his associates. He was attentive to his work, had dmbition, and had eafned an enviable reputation in his line of work. The news of his death will cause the deepest sorrow in a wide circle of friends and the sincerest sym pathy will be extended to the bereaved family. CLOSED THEIR WORK FOR THE YEAR.

ARGUE MOTION FOR ANOTHER SPENCER TRIAL Judge Crosby Reserved Decision After Hearing Arguments Two Hours. | ‘The motion for a mew trial in the |case of Bertram 4. Spencer, who was convicted on Novembér 25 of first de- |8ree murder in killing Miss Martha B. Blackstone on March 81, 1910, in Springfield, was heard by Judge Cros- by in that city late: Tuesday after- noon. At the conclusion Judge Crosby onnounced that he would take tho mo- tion under advisement. Attorney Young. who spoke first, |argued that Spencer did not break in- {to the Dow house in the night timo {end that there was no evidence to show that he broke in at all. M. Stapleton, who followed him, dwelt | chiefly tpon the irsanity evidence, Fointing out that none of the alienists at the trial had said that Spencer was sane. District Attorney Callahan |argued that Spencer could differentiate between right and wrong, whether he was actually sane or not. Spencer occupled the cage In the | middie of the courtroom, where ho sut during the two weeks of his trial. | 'The cage had been occupled earller in the day by the prisoners at the reg- ular criminal sitting of the superior court. The rest of the courtroom was arranged as it was at the trial and if it had not bden for the absence of & large crowd and the fact that the jury box was empty it would have been sasy to imagine that the trial was on again. Spencer came in soon after 4.30. in company with Turnkey Nathan P. Wade, who sat with Lim in the prisoner's cage. Spencer wore a dark overcoat, which he removed upon en- tering the room, but his other cloth- ing was the same as that woin by him at the trial . He were the same brown suit snd standing coilar. Spen- cer appeared nervous and he kept rub- bing his forehead with his hand, much as he did during the trial. His face was less Laggard and worn, but his general appearance was very much what it was on the first day of the trial. Mr. Young spoke to the prison- er and shook his hand before tho hear- ing started. None of Spencers rela- tives were present. Throughout the arguments Spencer remained urmoved. He kept his right hand partly over his eves and neared entirely indifferent 1o what was Eoing on about him. Several times he lywered his hands, which Lewayed a slight norvousness. When the hearing had been concluded Spencer put on By gloves and overcoat in an uncon- Cerned manner and accompanied Sher- i Clark and the various deputies to the cur whove the carriage was await- ing them. Atterney Stapleton teok up the ques- tior of Bpencer's alleged insanity and said that meny witnesses nad been callea by the defease whose eredibiilty had not heen challengod by the com- monwealth and who had testified to strange actions bly Bponcer at differ- ent places and different times befors the date of the crime. The experts of both the commonwealth and the de- tense admitted that Spencer net fully sane and normal, elthough some of the msa'd tha: Spencer knew the atween rignt and wrong ¢ he realized that he difterance to the extent would be punished for do!

Mr. Stapleton maintained that the Iy witnesses for the defense were uncertain, while most of them not well acquainted with him. of them, he sald, were feliow work- men, and as such had worked but short time with him. He stated that the lay witnesses were in no position to give expert opinions on the man's sanity, and that the opinions of the cxperts should have heen considered. Mr. Stepleton <losed his argument by saving that the jury were misled hy tie many misleading quotations of the atturney gemeral. He cited numerous instances where he claimed the attors ney general had not confied himself to the testimony as it had been given on the witness stand. It was his de- clsion that the jury arrived at ity de- cision rather because of the appeal the attorney gereral made than the ey dence that was brought out at the trial. In closing, he sald that in con- sidering the evidence (he jury could not at the niost have found more than tecond degree on the ground that he was a mental defective. It W This ground that he asked the court to set the verdict aside, OBITUARY. Charles N. Champlin. Soon after 3 o'clock Wednesday aft- ernoon the death of Charles N. Champ- Iin occurred as the result of u shock which he suffered a fow days a Mr. Champlin was born in this city in 1849, the son of Joseph and Louiso, Dewey Champlin, being one of threo children. He attended the common achools, but received only a limited education, as at the age of ten he was obliged to work summers, and at the age of 15 left achool altogether and be- came self-supporting.
