Mrs. Gibson said she recently recognised the Man whose name was called hp A woman- companion during the Idtttngs while visiting the district attorney's office. She said she knew the woman at the "murder scene and has seen her since then. New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 25 (By the Associated Press).?Mrs. Jane (Mbeon, alleged eyewitness of the Hall* If ills murder, signed a statement today giving the name of a woman who, she declared, was one of the slaying party, and reports immediately were circulated that the arrest of the woman?prominent since the start among those, under nvestigation? was imminent. Wilbur A. Mott, special prosecutor in charge of the case, was quoted to the effect that there might be an arrest within an hour but tonight Mr. Mott added to his quoted utterance a phrase which he says he used in the first instance?"or in two weeks." He Intimated, although he would not say definitely, that no arrest would be made until the case had been laid before the Somerset county grand jury and an indictment?or indict, menta?returned. He declined to say \ when he would go before that body. While it was true, Mr. Mott said, that Mrs. Gibson, farmer and pig raiser, had signed a statement today, that document did not contain anything she had not already told the authorities and he could see no need at present for an immediate arrest. He declared, however, that he was ready to order one or several arrests without waiting for grand jury action if circumstances made it advisable. Mr. Mott expressed skepticism as t? Mm. Gibson's identification in her statement of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall?victim with Mrs. Eleanor R. Vk.

Asked whether Mrs. Gibson ever before had seen the woman she identified as being present at the shooting and who, she declared, had screamed the name of a man long under suspicion, he declined to answer. As soon as Mrs. Gibson's statement had been obtained, Detective Mason took it to Mr. Mott at Newark, while Sol. Schwarz Kopf, head of the state police, started about the same time for Manhattan police headquarters. What his mission was could not be learned. It was recalled, however, that the theory had been advanced x that persons who had reason to be jealous of the relations oPthe minis a mm? i#nt _ t.. j li?j %.t vcr anq mrs. muu naa nirva new York gunmen to do the actual slaying. After refusing for two days to see itpottoii who Bought details of her statement to the authorities and turn, ing watch dogs loose on those who approached her little farm two miles out from New Brunswick, Mrs. Gibson tonight relented and spoke freely of what she said she witnessed on the Phillips farm on the night of September 14. "Those awful shrieks," she said, "are plainer in my ears tonight than they were at the moment of the mur. der. They haunt ma" She said that she could positively identify one of the persons she saw in the struggle beneath the tree as a woman who has since figured prominently in discussions and inquiries into the case.

The coincidence of the two latesi developments in Germany's turbulen financial situation, says the Boersei Courier, makes it look as if the au thorities on both sides were "trying to beat each other to it" on souu definite decision. The newpaper holdi that the government's invitation t< the international experts is at least a clever political move, since the af fairs to be dealt with are such as the foreign countries will take a hand ir anyway. The fact that representa tives of outside powers have beer asked to look over conditions for themselves, the journal addes, will make it easier for Germany later t< oppose financial supervision. The Boersen Zeitung thinks "it rir\?8 like a bad joke to hear that the very moment when the fall in th< mark has driven German finances 11 the edge of an abyss, the reparation: commission, under initiative of M Barthou (the French chairman of th< commission,) is breaking its hear over the question how to squeeze a couple more billions of paper out ol the German people through new tax es." "We fear that the efforts of Sii John Bradbury (the British repre sentative on the commission) in th< face of 'such charlatans are experi ments directed toward a futile ob jeot," the newspaper concludes. The Lokal Anzeiger believes the in viting of the foreign experts to Ger many will retard rather than expe dite an improvement in the mark. II declares that |he best German ad vice must already* have been sum moned. The newspaper calls atten tion, however, to the fact that th< unbiased politically. The Tageblatt says it understand: the invitation was issued after feel ers had been put out abroad, anc that preparations for the study bj these experts of the situation hav: long been under way.
