'knew about this ingenious try was very early one morning in 1922 'when a piercing scream attracted passersby to the second-floorzapart- ment of Mrs. William Gibérson. They found the good 'lady in hysterics. Stout cord and a gag lay + beside a chair. 'Bureau drawers in ° * the bedroom had been ransacked, and on the double bed lay Mr. Gib- erson, shot behind the right ear, al ~~ apparently with a .38 revolver. Mrs. Giberson: said she'd 'been ~ awakened by a pair of burglars who bound hér to a chain and gagged her, then shot her husband in his sleep, stole his' purse and left. When she worked herself loose, sHe % screamed. £ The state of- the bedroom, thi€ - bonds and gag, and the fact-that a _ "% ; peir of burglars had been operating the vicinity, binding and gagging victims who 'caught them at their ; pilfering, bore out her story. ~ When she répeated it to astute old Ellis Parker, famed Burlington . County detective, he asked just one question: "You were sleeping next the wall and climbed over your . husband without waking him?" "That's right," she replied. Parker sent out an alarm for the burglars. He also had Mrs. Giber- son watched unobtrusively. His watchers 'reported that she made frequent trips to a shed in the back yard. When the funeral left the house, Parker hurried to the shed. In the dusty debris he noticed a pile of fresh litter.- Beneath it he found a 38 revolver and a packet of love letters signed by a man not Mr. Giberson, Hidden in an overstuffed chair in the house he found Mr. ' .Giberson's purse. + The lethal lady was tried, con: ~, victed and sentenced to life. : = : ©. .
