has In the last six tel| her everything which beet said and done weeks.” The quarie! a week ago between Prosecutor Beekman County and trosrcut Middlesex County was erice of opinion as to t narrative of Mrs, Gibs Mr. Beekman tad known Mrs Gibson for’ yeara and had Investigated complainta from her against her neighbors which involved everything from pig #tealing to the soliciting of ‘& bribe by @ trusted oficial of Rutgers College. He listened to her dramatic ally @quad account of the murder and had a Mtenographer take tt down, But his estimate of {ts actual "trial value’ ts best exemplitled by his failure to ask Mrs. Gibson to sien it Mr, Stricker of Middlesex heard of this statement and ordered County Detective David and Grand Jury Clerk Anthony, Silzer (a brother of the Democratic candid for Governor of New Jersey) to go to Mra Gib fon's home and get her narrative in legal form. Detective Totten of Somerset accompanied them The record of that proceeding shows Mrs. Gibson swore she did not recover her moccasin when she was opposite the crabapple true on thr Phillips farm but that she missed 11 after #he arrived at her home, and worrying about the loss for more than three hours, returned to the neigh Ddorhood of the Phillips farm at about 1 o'clock In the morning and saw » ‘woman weeping over one of two bod- jes under the crabapple tree. She also described with great deta!) the gruesome tale of the flight of Mrs. Mills from the fight which she had «.itnessed earlier, her hiding in the weeds and her being dragged back to be shot to deafh and almost beheaded by her self-appointed exe- cutioners. SECOND STATEMENT SIX TIMES LONGER THAN FIRST. Tho first unsigned statement cov- ered two “legal cap" pages with about six lines on a third page. The sworn statement covered twelve pages. Mr. Beekman sald he would not go to the Grand Jury with Mrs, Gibson's stories. Mr. Stricker said that unless Mr. Beekman took action they had reached the parting of the ways. Mr Beekman sald that If he told the Grand Jury the truth as he knew it the Grand Jury would dismiss ais complaint. Mr. Stricker sent word to Supreme Court Justice Parker, asking him to order the appvintment of a epecia) Atturney General to supersede both of them. That part of the farmer woman's story of how she happened to be rid- ing her mule through the woods about 9.30 at night, Sept. 14, has been told. She had seen a woman in &@ gray coat in the glare of an auto- mobile’s headlight. A short time later she saw two men and two women under the crabapple tree. ‘They were quarrelling and the woman in gray demanded of Mr, Hall and Mre. Mills: “How do you explain these?” It ts assumed she was confronting them with the notes later found near the bodies. Almost Immediately after she heard this demand, one shot was fired and one of the men fell. Then Mrs. Mills was heard to scream; “Oh, don't! Please don't!" and a short time later the other woman cried out a if in protest “Oh Henry. Then Mra. Mills rat. She could be heard by Mrs. Gibson’ stumbling through the dark undergrowth. Then the murderer, with a flashlight, searched until he discovered he! cowering twenty-five or thirty yards away. She was dragged back, screaming, fighting and begging for mercy. When the murderer had her over x the rector’s body he fired three or four shots into her head and laid her beside the clergyman. The fight through the woods might account for the scratches on Mrs, Mills's hands and arms, at first believed due to Singer nails, Her throat was cut after she was shot. SAW WOMAN KNEELING BESIDE SLAIN COUPLE. it was then that Mrs, Gibson says She dug her heels into the mule and hurried home. For an hour she de- bated whut to do, und then, partly throvgh curtosity and partly to look for e moccasin she had lost and valued highly because It was a treuu- ured gift, she rode back. She tied the mule to a stump and rept close to the murder scene. ‘There, she said, she saw the woman in gray bending over the body of the man, weeping convuisively. time a quarter moon was shining ‘This ts part of the new statement: “It was by the light of a quarter Moon that | saw the woman whom | have already Identified bending over the bodies of the Rev.

PARIS, Oct. 28 (Associated Press). —The antt-Prohibition campaign to be conducted in America by European wets, which was secretly elaborated recently in Brussels, will be more in the nature of a co-operative move- ment with the liquor forces of the United States, it was learned to-day. The newly organized International League Against Prohibition will open large offices in Paris, from which a “merciless” fight against the dry forces of all nations will be directed. A large fund reaching many millions of francs has been pledged by the wine interests of Europe. The organizers say they have little to fear from the Prohibition forces in Europe. Their chief concern ts to give every possible assistance to Amer- ican wets. “We are not going to America to ask the United States to overthrow Prohibition,’ said Jean Couprie, one of the French delegates to the Brus- sels convention. ‘We would proba- bly be politely tet firmly ejected if we did, and rightly so, However, we believe our cause is just as legitimate as that of the Prohibitionists. Amer- {ean supporters of Prohibition have taken the liberty of sending their apostles to Europe. We believe we have at least the right to offer our whole-hearted support to American wets, If they will accept. They will find our organization amply backed financially and with 100,090,000 advo- cates back of it. “We believe Americans are much impressed by scientific facts and in- vestigations by unbiased professional men. Tests of the effect of the mod- erate use of wines and beers on the average human being are now being conducted by well-known scientists and doctors. They will be completed in several months and will be passed on to America without comment. “Further details of the American campaign naturally await the atti- tude of the American wets toward our offer of co-operation.” Count Bertrand Demun, Presi- dent of the new organization, is a former Deputy and President of one of the largest champagne companies in France.

INFATUATION FOR RECTOR REVEALED INLETTERS OF WOM @ (Continued. elsewhere. Christler, who was forty- six years old, had held charges In New York and New Jersey. He came to Montana in 1907 as missionary of the Milk River Valley and had developed his field into one of the largest mis- sion territories in the United States. Mrs. Christler is the daughter of the late David Wadsworth, Auburn, N. Y.. manufacturer, and is a niece of United States Senator James W. Wadswortl jr. The Christlers were married in 1914 when the clergyman was lectur- ing In the East on the resources of Montana under the auspices of L. W Hill, President of the Great Northern Rallway. In an unsuccessful effort to es- tablish a motive for the shooting. officers yesterday partly reconstructed a number of mutilated leiters found in a room Mrs. Carleton had occupied in @ loca) hotel. They declared, how- ever, that they could find no mention of the dead clergyman In these let- ters, which came from Mrs, Carle- ton's mother, daughter and husband, former Judge Frank Carleton, from whom she was separated. One of the letters from the husband, officers said, mentioned that he was sending her ” um of money, i Mrs. Christier, describing the shoot- ing, said that Mra. Carleton came to the Christler home late Thursday night and remained until early Friday morning talking to Rev. and Mrs. Chrixtier, When she started to leave the clergyman accompanied her toward the entrance, the widow sald, and just had shut a door between @ small hall and the room where Mra. Christler was left when two shots rang out. Mrs. Chriatler opened the door and found the bodies, that of Mrs. Carleton being across the minis. ter's body. Mrs. Carleton's husband was on an automobile trip in California when the shooting occurred and, up to late last night, had not been reachea. Mra Carleton was the daughter of Don Davenport, formerly of Helena, Mont but now of the Imperial Valley, Cal. She ta survived by a dtauyhter by a previous marriage. She lad returned to Havre only recently atier having spent the summer In the in Chautauqua work. Mrs, Christler announced that Mr. Christer would be buried ia his for- t AN Wr KILLED HIM mer home in Cayuga County, New York. No minister of the gospel ever at- tracted the attention in the, Northwest that Dr. Christler has, came to Montana in 1907, long@before the prairies had been yielded by the cow- men to the influx of homedteaders. He set to work developing his ter- ritory until St. Mark's, of which he was pastor, became one df the stronr- est and most influential units of the Episcopal Church in Montana. His service among his parishioners soon gained for him the designation of “Bishop of all outdoors.’ Indians, cowmen, women of the plains aad homesteaders alike shared his conf\- dence and they attached the unusun! cognomen to him because his service always has been for them and be- cause he always fought for their rights to the very last ditch, He was the friend of every one who needed a friend and cared little for matters that would seem to reflect to his reputation if what he was doing promised to do some one else some good. Once he challenged a gang who had been denouncing the church to a free- for-all fight, warning them that he would give them ‘the damndem lickin’ of thetr life." ‘This made such a hit with the men that they declined the challenge.
