Gaussie Humann Murder Trial
Gaussie Humman was charged with the murder of Henry Garbe at Ozone Park on October 27, 1921. She claimed to be 22 and was therefore the youngest woman to go on trial in Queens for a capital crime. Indicted with her was Joseph Libasci, a Brooklyn electrician, who according to the prosecution was her current boyfriend. Henry Garbe was the son of Anton Garbe, former Deputy Sheriff, who is a leader in Democratic politics in Ozone Park. His parents lived a short distance from Gaussie Humann’s home. She and young Garb became acquainted at school. Her father was an employee of the Queens Highway Bureau. Garbe, who had quarreled with Gussie about a year before the shooting, was attempting a reconciliation with her at the time of the shooting. Garbe was in a lonely spot on the then-called Woodhaven Road near then-called Rockaway Road with a young woman when someone jumped from ambush and fired two shots at him. He was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, where he died three days later. She went on to be tried for the Ozone Park murder on December 13, 1921. She was acquitted. With the acquittal of Gussie Humann, the Star-Journal predicted that the case against Joseph Libasci for firing the fatal shots at Garbe might be dropped. Events took an unexpected turn early in 1922, when a friend of Libasci’s came forward to testify against him and he was put on trial for murder. Gussie Humann testified on his behalf, insisting that she and Libasci had been together at the Schwaben dance hall in Brooklyn on the night of the shooting. After the Libasci jury was unable to reach a verdict, Gussie was arraigned for perjury. As Gussie went to trial for the second time, Libasci then surprised everyone by pleading guilty to second-degree murder. Later he tried to recant, claiming that both he and Gussie were innocent and that he had only confessed to the murder to avoid the possibility of the death penalty. Gussie’s jury found her guilt of perjury in record time - only 47 minutes and she received a sentence of seven to fifteen years. In April 1924 she was pardoned by Governor Al Smith.
