GRAND JURY TOLD TO SPARE NO ONE N BERGDOLL CASE Judge Thompson Instructs Body to Bring Both High and Low to Bar of Justice HEAVY PUNISHMENT AWAITS SLACKER IF RECAPTURED Colonel Crdsson Asserts Trial Was Absolutely Fair Raps Counsel Who Say Otherwise i ''Uring to the bar- of Justice any" nnd every person, no matter how high or low in authority or position, who cither directly or indirectly wos responsible for the escape of Grover Cleveland Berg doll." Judge Thompson, of the United States District Court, gave these instructions this morning to the special federal grand jury empaneled to investigate the es cape of tho notorious" draft dodgor from tho military authorities "while on lenvc of absence." The jury is sitting in the Federal Building. Severe punishment awaits Grover If lie is recaptured. ' This was indicated by Lieutenant Colonel Charles C. Cresson, who was .indite ndvocnto at Governors island dur ing Bergdoll's recent trial on the charge ot desertion. Closeted With Jury ', "If Grover Bergdoli Is rearrested. he will be retried As m deserter under the fifty-eighth article of war," said Colonel Cresson. The statement was made by Colonel Cresson after ho had been closeted for fifteen minutes with the grand jury, describing Bergdoll's first arrest, trial and conviction. Colonel Cresson was the second wit ness called before the grand jury. The first was John P. Dwyer, chairman of the Overbrook draft board, which in ducted Bergdoli into the service. The third witness, who finished his testimony at noon, was1 General Peter Harris, adjutnut geuernl of the in spector general's office nt Washington. It was General Ilnrris who gave tho order for Bergdoll's temporary rclense in order that ho might seek the "pot of gold" which he said he had hidden. Witnesses Won't Talk None of the witnesses appearing be fore, the grand jury would tell what he had said to the investigating body. Colonel Crcsswell snld that Bergdoli in addition to being retried as a de serter, if ho is recaptured will'beHricd under the niucty-Mxth article of war for breaking confinement. Bergdoli also will forfeit nil good conduct marks which he would linve had, if lie had not escaped. Colonel Cresson declared. Colonel Cresson, in discussing the case, said: . , ,. t imtrn pnme down lo Philadelphia at the request of the office ot-the United States district attorney in connection with the Investigation of n criminal conspiracy by certain civilians which nided or affected the escape of Grover C.

Grover Bergdoli, be cnuese Bergdoli had not hud n fnir trial and justice had not been done him. "I sincerely trust Mr. Ansell has been misquoted, since his own brief tiled in defense of Bergdoli does not mnke. any such contention, but merely sets up n few flimsy technicalities, rnlsing trifling legal quibbles, not even questioning the trial except ns to the length of the sentence and endenvors to overturn the ense nnd defeut justice by nttneking drnft inductions which he hud. when nn offictr of the army, formerly de fended. "Kvery Inwyer must decide for him self, if for Judas Iscnriofs thirty pieces of silver, which hi the Bergdoli cose it was rumored was ?50.000, lie will aid such a notorious pro-Geriiimi scoiindrct nnd coward ns Bergdoli in his attempt to evade service und defent the Inws of his country.
