Then he asked about my husband and this relatives. I said I was sure that none of his relatives had died in thie country, He asked if my husband had relatives in Austria, I sald yes. Then he asked me where he could find my husband, I gave him the name and address of a lawyer. He changed in hia attitude the minute I mentioned the lawyer. “Oh, never mind,’ he said, ‘I don’t think you are the woman I am looking for." SAYS SHE COULD IDENTIFY HER VISITOR. “I asked him for his name, or the name of some one he represented, but he refused to tell and went away. I was a little bit frightened about this at the time and told my husband. Neither of us could make anythjng out of it, and we had almost forgotten the Incident when this Szabo case came up, Then I saw a photograph in the newspapers, to which I called my hus- band’s attention, saying it was remark- ably like the man who had called on me. I am sure I can identify this man and I am willing to swear by what I have told you at any time.” Attorney Gibson was asked in his office to-day about this case and also about the case of Mrs. Veronica Men- schik of No, 417 East One Hundred and Forty-seventh street, who, ke Mrs. Alois Men is in no way related the drowned Mrs, Szabo, Mrs, Veronica Menschik re ported that she had been aeked to ign papers concerning an alleged in- heritance under a will, Gibson grew red in the face at the mention of this and slammed his fist! down on the desk, “I have never seen this Mrs. Menschik and do not know who she Is," exclaimed never approached this woman and never had any representa- tive of mine approach her. I defy the authorities to prove that I did. The accusation is utterly and contemptibly false.” Gibson shook his head. “That's enough of this," he sald. “I will answer questions frankly, but I do not intend to be cross-examined by re- porters."* Mrs. Szabo's will was filed on July for probate. In offering the will Gibson assumed that the sole benefi- clary named—Mre. Petronelia Men- schik—was alive, and later filed a watver of citation signed by the name of Petronella Menschik, declared by the Vienna police to be dead. He promises to produce this Petronella Menschik in due time. STORY TOLD BY MRS. VERONICA MENSCHIK, According to the statement made by Mrs. Veronica Menschik, who never heard of Mrs, Stabo or her family be- fore reading of the will and drowning ery in the papers, she was ap: proached by @ strange man on or about July $1 and catechized about her fam- ily.
