"After this meeting I renclvpil a letter
from Secrrtnry linker, acknowledging

Would lime Ashed Large Fee
"I would not have connected myself
with this case without having demanded
a large retaining fee," Mr. Wescott
continued, switching his trend of
thought.
"Attempts were made to have me be

The former judge closed his discus

Ilergdoll was given "a square deal."
Ilr snid there was no proof Hint Ilerg

days, before being classified ns n
deserter.
The Westcotl Letter
A copy of the letter Judge Wescott
scut to Secretary linker follows:
"M.v Dcnr Secretary I beg to in

"This brief is exhaustive and conclu

MRS. BERGDOLL BAKES

Grover. now n fugitive from justice.
i ne iiurlcil treasure, slip thinks, is
somewhere in California, nnd not in

The federal ngents. she snys, are per
secuting her, nnd won't let her iilone.
Her son. slip deelnt'PA. ninv nntslhlv

"Grocr Cleveland." she snid. "was
one of the best Presidents we pypr had.
In Hip Civil War he didn't go to war.
I hnvp a book upstairs that tolls me.
And later he was made President one
of the best we ever had. Wc never had
nny bloodshed when he wus President"
or mi) wars or nn thing."
Mrs. Ilergdoll wns asked if the conn
trj did not cxpcrinicc "hnrd times"
during the Cleveland ndminlstrntion.
"Well, look nt now." she snid. "Wp
have hard times now. Look nt the taxes
uud the profiteers und everything.
"Who knows," she added. "Grover
may turn out to be like Grover Cleve

nbout the treasure her son is reported to

"I don't think it is in Hngerstown."
she said. "I think it's further away
thnn that, perhans in Cnlifornin. I
don't know, though, but I think it's out
in California, mnybp."
Then Mrs. Ilergdoll spoke of the
senrcn oi ner home last niglit by th
police and government agents: "What
nni'l going to do?" she sobbed. "No
peace for mc now. They won't let me
njoiie."
She said the searchers went through
epry pnrt of the house looking for lyr
son, who , they thought, might be in hid

a iinltorm ot n United Stales sold er
nnd a rifle. Mrs. Ilergdoll snld they
were the property of Edward Stringer,

Carlin's Testimony
Kills Palmer Boom
rent Inn m1 from race Onp
the attorney genrrnl is on onp side nnd
his cnmpuigu manngcr is on the other.
This urrnngpinpiit between Du Puy
and Cnrlln wns entered Into in Febru
ary by nn ngent of Air. Du Puy's. At
that Hpie. Cnrlln wns either already
Palmer's campaign manager or vai in
dicted for a prominent place in the Pal
mer campaign bv the close political as
sociation with Palmer.
Republicans .Much Ilcllced
It was a gieat relief to the Republi
cans on tlio'Kcnjon committee to shift
Hip unpleasant limelight to the Demo
crats toda. The development with re
gard to Palmer relieved the minds of
senators like Edge nnd Spenecr. who
wprc worried by Hie extent to which the
Inquiry was dpcvlopiug into n drive
upon Wood.
Todnj they feel the innuirv will dom
inate nil Hip Republican candidates who
nnd vurticipntcil in the primnrics and
open the wny for Knox or some dnrk
horse.
The Palmer evidence will strencthen
the determination of tho committee to
go to the bottom of cnmpnigu expendi
tures. Whiel it rpfipcts only on Pnlmer nnd
the administration, it will tend to ninkc
the pieliniinary campaigns generally
smell bud. to fasten public attention
upon cnmptiign methods and to make
unlikely the nomination ot nny of the
big spenders.
The committPP shows n disposition
not to stop with thp expenditure of- the
in t ion ill 'irgunizntions of the various
candidates, but to go into the states
where there were contests nnd cnll the
state managers to find out what they
spent.
For cxnmplc. Congressman Crnmton,
Senator Johnson's innnngcr in Alirhi
gnn, wns in the committee room with
the figures of Johnson's, expenditures
in Michigan. These totaled about $12.
000, of which none came from .Man
ager AIcSAppii. Congressman J. A.
Elston, of Culofirnin, had contributed
StiOOO of this $12,000. Alost of the rest
of it wwis still owed, was a deficit.
Twilight Zone In Campaigns
There is n sort of twilight zone in
campaign expenditures. National cam
paign mnnngers do not know whnt
money was raised locnlly in the state.
Air. AlcSweeii knew nothing about
Air. Cuimton's $12,000 in Alichigan,
nlthoiigli it wns one -sixth as large as
AIr. AlcSween's fund.
Similarly ex-Congressman Carlin did
not know how much hnd been spent for
his enndidate in Pennsylvania. He bad
been warned by Mr. Sterling, Palmer's
Pennsylvania manager, to keep out.
When this wns testified. Senator
Iteed interrupted the witness to make a
few remarks upon campaign managers,
which he assured the witness were not
"personal."
"The surprising thing to me," suid
Heed, "is how iittle ininpnign man
agers know. If I were a iiimpnign innn
ngcr, I should know how much wns
spent in the home state of the candi
date, and I don't think I'm different
from othpr men. Hut we haven't yet
found n campaign manager who did.
For example,' there wos Air. Hitchcock,
whom wo Intel before us rhe other day.
If n campaign ninnnger who knew nbout
the enmpaign were worth SI. 000,000.
Air. Hitchcock would be worth nbout
