Bergdoll Arrested at Home Cimtinuril frcm Puce One Bergdoll had not appeared. A group of neighbors, who had been on the look out for the Bergdoll boys since their sensational flight during the war, gathered to sic what was going on. Passing motor cars stopped and their passengers stayed to watch what would happen. Had Warrant for Grover The Department of Justice agents had a warrant for Grover's arrest. A coun cil of war was held, and it was decided to attack the house back and front. "We'll get him this time," said Mc Devitt, one of the agents, "if we have to burn the house dowu." Leo Gormnn mid' Leon K. Howe, of the Department of Justice, with Patrol men Cassidy, Heller and Fitzroy, went to the rear of the house. J. W. Bales, of the Department of Justice, and Patrolman Macready went to the front door. Mrs. Bergdoll appeared inside the front door armed. The Department of Justice man cracked the glass panel to the left side of the door with his blackjack and the patrolman hammered out the thick plate glas-, with a mop handle he had picked up. Mrs. Bergdoll thrust her arm through the aperture. Threatens to Shoot "You thieves and robbers," she shouted. "I'll shoot." The men dodged back out of the way of the menacing black mouth of the re volver. Then Mrs. Bergdoll's attention was attracted by the nois, of the attack at the rear.

Arrest Is Dramatic The arrest of Grover was dramatic. The house was surrounded, a simulta- i neous attack made on it front and I rear ; the great glass panel of the front door was battered in, Mrs. lsergdoll ap- pearing at the opening to defend her home ana tier ooy. armeu wun tne uoit, with which she threatened to shoot the officers. "I'm sorry I didn't shoot you," she shrieked, after they had entered the house and captured the son. The house was an arsenal. Virtually every room of the twenty -four in the huge stone edifice, which is one of the most pretentious in the Wyunetield district, contained arms and ammuni tion. Federal agents took away with them I to tho Federal Uulldlng two Krug .Torgensen rifles, with Maxim silencers ; eighteen revolvers; twelve stilettoes and aii assortment of shotguns. Still other weapons were left' in the house, Mrs. Bergdoll Shows Fight Mrs. Bergdoll put up a brief fight. Howe, a smull man, weighing consider ably less than Mrs. Bergdoll, but just out of the army and full of fight, made a flying leap at her, He had his own revolver in his hand, and he and the infuriated woman swayed about, both revolver sticking in the air. Patrolman Casstdy closed in on the pair, grabbing both weapons because he could not tell which was Mrs. Berg doll's. After she had been disarmed she gave up further resistance and sank on a chair in the ornately furnished hall, panting for breath. Then began the search of the bouse, while the mother looked on. Patrolmen and agents covered every flwr, a squad being left on each floor after the search ers had passed. Mrs. Bergdoll was forced to go the rounds with them. They found doors and closets locKed, but she produced keys and opened each. They collected a miscellaneous assort ment of weapons as they descended from uroycr a room, on uie intra noor. There was not a sign oi the fugitive LEDGER - PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY INCIDENTS FOLLOWING THE xxS:iv.vv.s-v..Sv&4. ifiMlmiSmXWKEi9XSR6SMi!lsSi was uuunrii 111 iri-i nt'i low iieioio Thompson streets police station. She List of Weapons Found in the Bergdoll Home Two Krag-Jorgensen rifles, with Maxim silencers. Eighteen revolvers. Twelve stilettoes. Several shotguns. A number of other weapons. Patrolmen Carroll. Macreadv and Bates, coming from the third floor to j the second, stopped to search a window DOS. Grover's Hiding Place Clear up the side of the house runs a huge bay window. On eacli floor the lights are composed of beautiful stained glass. The windows ou the landings are furnished with broad window scats, under which there are boxes. Gnrroll und Macready both lifted the lids of the window box. after they had taken off the cushions und rofa pillows covering it. There were half a dozen lids, side by side, in a semicircle. They lifted two lids and saw nothing. One of the patrolmen lifted a third and saw a pile of blankets. The blankets mov:d. "Here he is!" shouted Carroll. Under blankets and heavy tomforta bles, couched on cushions, lay Gro ver, huddled up to fit iu the colliu like window box. The patrolmen dragged him out of his hiding place. "Throw up your hands." they com manded. At first Grover, who seemed dazed, did not obey. "Hold up your hands," they repeat ed. At the same time a revolver was thrust into Grover's ribs with n force that made him grunt. His hands went high into the air. "All Hlght," Says Grover "All right, fellows," he said. "I'll come along," He accompanied them downstairs. His mother sat stunned in n big carved armchair in the hall. Grover was meanly dressed, us though ne had tried to disguise himself Ho wore an old pair of trousers ripped at the back and held together with a bit of wire. In the pocket of the trousers they found $105 "jubt u little change," his mother said of it. He had no "gun" on him. Grover was not allowed to remain long in the bouse. Todd Daniel, head of the bureau of investit tion here, called the house on the telephone a few moments after the capture. Mrs. Bergdoll answered. The chief asked to speak to Gorman. "Why don't you hurry up and send uergdon in: uaniei asked jokingly. "We're waiting for you to seud a machine," answered Gorman, to Daniels surprise. The chase had ended sooner and better than expected. Grover was given no chance to put legai barriers in the way. For that rea son he was not turned over to the city authorities. He was hustled to the Federal Building iu an automobile, chatting on the way and apparently not much concerned. So swiftly was ho taken away in the closed car that he had no time to get other clothes. His mother later sent him a suit, collar, shirt and tie. Put on Train Handcuffed Agent Clark took Bergdoll to Broad Street Station, There he was put in charge of Captain Jesse Cottrell and Sergeant J. Sparks, of tho Army In telligence, and hurried away handcuffed to Governor's island., Mrs. Beredoll Appears Depressed Mrs. Bergdoll becmed depressed after her son was gone. She walked about the house, or sat with hands in her lap In the big carved chair In the hall. Now and then she would try to argue with the officers about her son's arrest. She said fiercely that he had done noth ing for which be rhould be arrested. "My poor boy," she cried. "He was never given a fair chance. Ho has been hounded by the authorities and tho newspapers." She had been asked to find some clothes for Grover. "How can I with all theso men about?" she asked. "If you will all get out I'll go get his clothes." The detectives finally told her that ter .bytrry' with her, preparations. At sno wag unaer arrest, too, aofl had bet ARREST OF MRS. BERGDOLL "Why Am "What asked. There was no nnsvvcr. For n few moments she sat in the hall, her hands in her lap as before, her face pale and drawn and ri vacant look iu her eves. "What am I goiugto do about my old mother she lives with me and she is cighty-ine? Who is goin gto take care of her if I go?" She was advised to telephone to some of her relatives und get them to come to her home. At her request one of the detectives called up Krwin's brother-in-law, Hall, ut Mount Holly, and asked him to come to town and put up bail for her. She went to the telephone herse!f finally, and held a brief conversation with him. She did not seem to be greatly surprised at her arrest, judging from her words. She simply said : "The'y have nrrested me. Come dowu to City Hali with bail." She did not tell Hall that Grover had been arrested. Finally the mother went upstairs to prepare to accompany the policemen. She had been arrested by the city and r.ot the federal authorities, on a chnrge of assault and battery with intent to kill, because she had pointed the re volver nt them. Feeds Cow Before Dressing At the time of her arrest Mrs. Berg doll, who is u short and stout woman, had been dressed plainly in n faded house dress. She put ou a very plain blue dress and a black plush coat with a white fur collar, and a nmall black hat with a white top. She also changed her shoes. Then she announced sho was ready. Before dressing she had insisted on going out to the baru to feed and water the cow and she got herself a little breakfast in the kitchen some cereal, bread and coffee. All the while that Mrs. Bergdoll was getting ready to go with the police her mother, who is stout and hale in spite of her eighty-one years, stood at the window of the dining room,, looking out at the crowd which surrounded the house and smiling to herself. Mrs. Bergdoll went and sat beside her when she was changing her shoes, and con versed briefly with her in German. The older woman did not seem much per turbed. Crowd Laughs at Prisoner Mrs. Bergdoll bore her an est as she had borne the arrest of her son, without flinching. She cried u little while she was eating her breakfast, repeating that her ton had not been treated fairly, and telling the patrolmen who guarded her that this was only one of many troubles. "Erwiu's wife died only eight months ago," she said, "and I have that trouble, too, to face." When Mrs. Beigdoll left the house, escorted by two detectives and a cordon of patrolmen, the crowd outside laughed and jeered, She was hustled into a patrol. A negro chauffeur nearby remarked, "There s her limousine." BERGDOLL CAPTURE RELIEVES DANIEL Department' of Justice Chief Says It Removes Strain Todd Daniel, chief of the bureau of in estigatiou of the Department of Jus tice here, today told of the plau of op eration preliminary to the capture of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. Mr. Daniel is frank in his gratifica tion at having at last brought to justice the man who for more than two years has defied the federal authorities throughout the country. It is a burden lifted from his shoulders, he said, and Incidentally will relieve a certain ten sion under which his office has suffered because of charges of incompetency whenever Bergdoll was concerned. Telling of the experience of today and the steps that led up to the capture, Mr, Dauiel said; "Realizing that Bergdoll must be caught at all hazards we went ubout the business of apprehending him iu a quiet but efficient way, Mr. Kane, the United States district attorney, and I sent to Washington for a good man to be assigned exclusively to the Bergdoll rase. Spent Months on Case "The man came in the person o,f Joseph O'Connor. This operative spent several months on the case and finally learned that Grover Bergdoll and his brother Erwin, both made frequent visits to Philadelphia. "Having good reason to believe that Bergdoll was In tho city last night, we took advantage of the fact that we had a n u inner oi extra agents here oiv account oi tne ueu raids and set about to search the various premises where the fugitive might be found.

Grover raced a Devon horse show train, beating the train neatly. Has Had Exciting Career In August, 1913, Grover Bergdoll flew from Llaucrch to Atlantic City. It was in that same month ho wus warned to quit Hying dver the beach nt Atlantic City and over rooftops in this city. The year following, he began ex periments with the X-ray. The fnthcr of a small boy sued him for $0000 for burning tho chnd with tho powerful ray. In December, 1015, u jury declared him mentally sound and able to taku care of his own affairs.
