Colonel Allaire's full slntement to Bcrgdoll when the accused was slood up before the, court follows : "l'ou, tho nccuscdaro Informed that you have tho right to testify In .your own ocnau, subject to cross-examination ; to offer any evidence In deninl or explanation,, or in contradiction of tho charges against you. "If you testify in denial or explana tion of tho offense, tho scopo of your direct examination will be considered to bo the wholo subject of your guilt or Innocence of that offense, and nny fact relevant to the Issue of your guilt, or relevant to your credibility as n wit ness, Is properly tho subject of cross examination, nnd If you testify In your own behalf nnd fall to deny nny act of an Incriminating nattiro which tho evi dence of tho prosecution may tend to establish against you, such failure may UOt only' bo cnmoietifpil nnon hv cniiir- seh but mar bo considered by tho court, With nil other rlrriimstnnrc.

Ucrgdoll Says Ho Understands "It nlso may embrace with tho faclii a presentation of the law. Such state ment is no testimony nnd Is therefore not subject to cross-cxumluntlon. Hut ns a personal defense or argument, how ever, It may and properly should be taken into consideration by tho court, iou do not have to do cither, und your failure to do either will not create any presumption ngaiust you. "Do you fully understand all that I have said to you?" "Yes, sir," Bcrgdoll said, weakly. "Knowing these rights, .do you wish to testify, or to make any statement In your own behalf, or to do cither?" Col ouel Allaire asked. "ao." Bcrgdoll almost whispered. Then he corrected himself to a still weaker "No, sir." at the prompting of Captain Campbell. ucrgdoll s apparent chance of escap ing the penalty of his action is in about thn samo status It was several days ago, when Colonel Crcsson mid the slacker's chance of escaping punish ment was just about as good n betting proposition as that "of the well-known snowball in hades." , hen the court adjourned temporarily Bcrgdoll went into uu nntc-room with his mother.
