SUSPECT'S HOUSE IS GUARDED CLOSELY Police Believe Lawyer Implicated in the Death of Countess Szabo.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Sept. 11. Every move made by Burton Gibson, central figure in the mystery surrounding the death of the Countess Rosa Menschick Szabo was watched by detectives today. They were ready to arrest him upon a charge of murder as soon as a warrant was Issued. Detectives guarded his home at Rutherford, N. J. during the night. The iron nerve that marked his attitude when the investigation into the countess began has almost deserted him. He got little sleep, pacing the floor almost all night. Two detectives kept guard within his own house. From the windows he could see from time to time the figures lurking outside, of other detectives. In one of the rooms lay his wife, hysterical and under the care of a physician. The lawyer's nerve has been remarkable. For days charges of every character were bandied about against him, but he maintained an air of cheerfulness and perfect confidence. Even when an autopsy was ordered he did not flinch. The keenest eye could discern no uneasiness in his demeanor. The break came, however, when reporters told him a warrant would be issued against him, that the autopsy showed the countess had been murdered. He recovered quickly and volunteered to remain in his office as long as the detectives wished. He even showed no sign of emotion when a hooting mob of hundreds of men and boys followed him through the strets jeering and insulting him and gleefully announcing to one another that at last "Gyp the blood," had been captured. But he plainly collapsed when he reached the "hoodoo cottage," as his home at Rutherford is known and found his wife lying senseless in the hallway. She had fainted imagining her husband shot after hearing just outside the reports of flashlights set off by dozens of photographers. Gibson came to his office in New York today accompanied by a detective. He had apparently recovered his calmness. "I am here in my office," he said, "If the sheriff of Orange county wants me he can find me at my desk." Then Gibson turned to dictate to a stenographer letters that had no possible bearing upon his present predicament. LEAVES TOMORROW Lee Crockett, the negro who was sentenced to from two to fourteen years in the Michigan City penitentiary on the charge of assault and battery with intent to commit rape, will be taken to that prison tomorrow by Grovelle Bundy, a member of the local police force.
