BERGDOLL IN THE LIMELIGHT
10 YEARS BY HIS ESCAPADES
Draft Dodger Started to Attract Attention as Speeder Then
Took to Aviation Has Been Sought Since 1917
Grover Cleveland IJpririloH hn been
In thc public rye iIiiiIiir the Inst ten
years because of jha frequent wnsa
tlonnl escapades.
He first gained )romlneneo ns'an au
tomobile racer and took part In many
important meets. Later lie became af
fected tilth speed mania on the public
highways. lie was arrested scores of
times for violating the speed lawn, but
defied the police and constables and
continued his mad pace regardless of
repeated warnings.
'His undoing came when he collided
with the automobile of W. II. llcll
THineof Haverford. A warrant was is
. Bued for his arrest and after a search
of several days ho was captured in a
garage at Thirty-first and Dauphin
streets. He made stubborn resistance
nnd it required seven detectives to take
him to a police station.
Jailed for Three Months
Ho was SUbsenuentlv ftpntrnpoil In
three months in jail in Norristovvn. The
jail term did not in the least affect his
mania for speeding.
Bergdoll subsequently turned io avia
tion. After mastering an airplane he
started his career ns an nviator by rnc
ing a train from Philadelphia to Devon.
He heat the train and then to celebrate
mp victory ilew to Atlantic City.
About this time Ilergdoll's brother
Charles made application in Common
l'leas Court No. 1 for a commission in
lunacy to test the sanity of Grover.
The plaintiff contended that his brother
ded a guardian. Two boys testified
tha Grover burned them with an X-ray
machine and later locked them in a
cldsct and blew smoke through the key
hole. At the hearing of the application Sirs.
Emma Uergdoll, his mother, declared
that Grover was sane and asserted that
ho had more sense than those who
brought the suit. He was subsequently
declared Mine by an alienist.
By way of a change in tactics Berg
doll then turned to journalism and
Btartcd n newspaper while, in the fresh
man class at the University of Penn
sylvania. The publication was called
"Praecursor." The paper caused gen
eral indignation at I'cnn nnd Mas sup
pressed after one issue. The students
urged Bergdoll's expulsion from the
University.
Drafted in 1017
Bergdoll was drafted for service on
August 17, 1017. Hp did not appenr
for examination nnd his mother asked
exemption. She requested that her son
be made a flying instructor, in which
capacity, she said, he would be more
valuable In the country's service.
She said that Grover was mortally
nfraid of the sight of blood. "He
cpujdn't kill a chicken," she declared,
''and he could not be a doctor, for
every time he saw blood he Mould be

Uergdoll was passing Fifty-fourth street

Federal Agent Joseph McDevitt fired
seven revolver shots at the smaller car

seemed to drive on at even greater
speed:
By 'the time' the police" car reached

unable to learn in which direction the

Mr,, Daniel and Agent McDevitt, ac

drawn (heir revolvers, walked to the
porch at this time. McDevitt rang
the bell, knocked nnd called.
The door opened suddenly, and a
heayjveaHber revolver was thrust in
his face. Then Mrs. Bergdoll appeared.
Holding the gun at arm'ti Jength, she
inndfc ber threat to shoot.
"I will shoot the first man who
comes into this house without the

Mr. Daniel explained who he was,
and'"that he represented the United

defiant. She realized that the men
had no search -warrant, and were pow
erless to enter the house without It,
unlesushe gave her permission.
"Von won t permit me to enter?"

It was reported nt the time that Mrs.
Bergdoll offered to give $1000 to the
Bed Cross if GrovVr would not hnvo
to shoulder n gun In the army.
Her pleas were in vniu, however, nnd
Grover was onWed to appear before
the board. He failed to do so and was
ihnrged with evasion of the selective
draft act.
Flees From Justice
Bergdoll disappeared and was report
ed to be in vnrious parts of the country
and also in Mexico. He mailed post
cards to friends In this city on which
ho .Willed the authorities and chal
lenged them to find him. These cajds
were received by tlio dozen, nnu it
believed that many were mailed by per
sons who were in sympathy with Berg
doll's actions. One man was arrested
in this connection. ,
Not Classed as Deserter
Bergdoll was not classed as a deserter
because it subsequently developed that
District Appeal Board No. 2 had failed
to certify Jilm as such. This was-due,
it t oo 1,1 t n dpricnt error.
The carelessness of the board in this
respect was called to the attention of the
Washington authorities.
On July 13, 1018, United States
District Attorney Kane forwnrded certj

classed as a deserter, and circulars
bearing his picture were sent nil over

Bergdoll Homo Closed
The Bergdoll home at Fifty-second
street nnd Wynnefield avenue was
closed, the servants nnd family chauf
feur were dismissed, and it Mns re
ported that Mrs. Bergdoll had gone
to live in one of the city's suburbs.
Mrs. Bergdoll was subsequently ar
rested, charged with aiding her sou to
evade the draft laws, and later ac
quitted. Bergdoll was reported to have been
seen here two week ago. James Mc
Manus, of Ovcrbrook, a former yeoman
in the navy, said he saw Bergdoll driv
ing near Oierbrook in an automobile.
He snid that when he shouted to Berg
doll the lntter Mavcd his hand and put
on extrn speed.
McMnnus reported the discovery of
Bergdoll to a patrolman of the Sixty

an investigation was staitcd.

On three previous occasions since
midnight Mr. Daniel made unsuccess
ful efforts to gain an entrance" to tlio
house. On these occasions he walked
urtgunrded to the front door, and
pounded and knocked, lie received no
nnweis to his summons, however.
AVhen the federal agents nnd the
police walked from the porch after Mrs.
Iluegdoll slammed the door on them,
they stopped for. a moment' to inspect
the machine which Bergdoll had used
in his game of tag with thcin.

Ou the fiont seat, beside that used
by the driver, they found n short piece
of lend pipe on tlio end of which hnd
been attached a heavy piece of lead.
What its use was the police did not
know. It resembled a crude weapon.
'After lea lug the house, Mr. Daniel
returned to his office in the Federal
Building, where he awaited the arrival
of United States District Attorney
Kane.
"We are going in that house this
morning and get that man," he said
while waiting. "It Is almost sure that

to get permission to mnko the nrrest.

The Department of Justice's description nf Grover C. Hercdoll, mil
lionaire draft evader, was sent broadcast oer the country by the fed
eral authorities In the effort to apprehend the fugitive
man accent she asked what was wanted.
"I simply wish to search the house,"
said Mr. Daniel.
"No, no," she said, "you can't come
In."
Then the door was slammed in the face
of the head of the lo'-nl investigation
binnch of the Department of Justice.
Mr. Daniel again rang the bell and
nirniii the round pale face ap
peared. This time the omnn opened I
the door but nn inch nnd spoke through
the outer screen door.
, "I want to talk to you." snid Mr.
Daniel. "You see, we don't want nny
trouble. We don't want to break Into
jour home." v
"You can't get in without n search
warrant," and ngain the door closed
with a bang.
Next the deputy marshal tried his
prowess. He, too, rang the bell. For
the third time the widow of the mil
lionaire brewer put in mi nppearauce.
McCaffrey plnced his foot in the door
nnd reiterated Mr. .Daniel's plea.
With a vigorous kick Mrs. Bergdoll
forced the deputy to' withdraw his foot,
and for the third time bang! went the

woman said that "drover's lawjer"
would appear within nn hour.
She teferred to Michael F. Dono
ghue, nn attorney, who has offices in
