New Brunswick, Sept. 19—Further mystery was added to the murder of John V. Piper, the Rutgers College student, this morning when John Gibson, finder of the revolver which was said to have been used to do the killing, committed suicide by hang ing. Dr. William J. Condon, of this city, who was arrested at Fort Oglethorpe, charged with the murder of Piper, wus to have been tried yesterday, but this trial was postponed until the lat ter part of October. It Is thought that Gibson stood the strain of uncer tainty as long as as possible and fi nally weakened. Gibson was about seventy years old and one of the best known and liked men In the city. For forty-flve years he had been employed as a book keeper for the Strong Hardware Com pany. His action was explained In a letter written to Charles C. Moke, one of his closest friends, who Is an undertaker here. The letter was found pinned to his breast In which he stated thai since ho hod found the revolver and turned it over to the police he felt that he was being drawn more and jnore Into the case. He told in the letter of his finding the revolver, not knowing It to have any connection with the Piper murder, of his turning It over to Sergeant Cllnto at the police station and how he had worried since Condon had been arrested and was waltlne trial. The letter told how Gibson had prayed dally for strength in ordei that ho might face the examination which he knew was coming when the trial should be started. "God knows, I told the truth," he said In his letter to Moke. The letter told how Gib son's health had been falling and how his mind started to weaken as th< time for the trial drew closer. so that some of the worry would bi lifted from Gibson's shoulders. I seemed to have little effect, however Gibson was last seen about Ε o'clock last night when he bid hli wife and daughter, Grace, good-nlglit When ho did not appear for break fast this morning his wife becam< worried. Sho went to his room αηί found it vacant. Mr. Moke, the fam ily friend, was notified and he cam* to the house. Going to the attic h< found Gibson hanging from α raftei with the note pinned to his breast. KERENSKY WAS PRISONER DURING RUSSIAN REVOl By WILLIAM G.

Washington, Sept. 19—Pope Bene dict has made his last peace proffer, according to official cables received hero today. The Holy See believes the war must go on at least two or three years more—until the full effect I of America's vast powers has been ] felt and either a victory or α hope- ! less deadlock In the great struggle reached. Tho lTnited Press was Informed on the highest authority today that the Vatican realizes that peace or further negotiations at present Impossible. President Wilson's rejection of the pope's last peace offer, which rejec i tlon was heartily npproved by the Allies, has convinced tho Vatican the Allies want no peace which will leave the Central powers under their pres ent rulers. No peace is possible, as the United Press announced semi officially recently, which Is based on mutual concessions as suggested by • the pope. ' It is realized by the Vatican that the Allies with America's vast resources now thrown into the balance, have the upper hand and can ring from the Cen . tral powers α peace acceptable to de . niocracy. Any further proffers from . the Popo would bo foredoomed to ι failure even as the Inst one.
