He refuses to answer such questions.
In nn effort to link Erwlti tin with

ns n slneker, Lieutenant Colonel Charles

If not; a picture of the prisoner will be
sent her for Identification.

Tlio couple were nccompanled by nn
other mnn, dometimes by two, on their
visits, Miss Dayhoff said, ltecausc
Homlg was one of the men who conn
here, with Erwln when he surrendered.
Colonel Cresson believes Erwln might
have been iu the Hagerstown "parties."
Ilomie, known here ns "Piimphundle
Jimmy, ' becntise of his hand-shnkiiig
proclivities, was indicted becnusc of the
Hagerstown happenings, and other
civlllauM may bo brought iuto the case
If Krwiii's presence there is proved.
' Erwln probnbly will face the court
martial board some time next week.
Colonel Cresson says. The colonel has
asked John J. O'Connor. 11 Department
of Justice agent In Philadelphia, to
request the members of the Ilrootnall,
Delnware county, draft board, ,whero
Erwln registered, to have themselves
in readiness for service as witnesses
here at thut time.
The drnft board officials' records.
Erwln's signed questionnaire and other
draft papers will furnish the strength
of prosecution, Colonel Cresson snid.
These, he said, will be amply sufficient
to convict the drnft -dodger.
Colonel Cresson said Mrs. Einmn V'
llcrgdoll's contention that Erwln should
have been in the fourth class was ruled
upon by the draft board and If Intro
duced by the defense will bear no weight
with the court-martial.
Claim Disallowed
Uergdoll's clulm for exemption on the
ground thut he was the sole support of
his wife, who luis since died, and was
11 "gentleman farmer" was disallowed.
He disappeared after filing his ques
tionnaire. Captain John M. Weir, assigned to
Erwln as military coiium-I. may be re
lieved ut Uergdoll's request. Mrs
Hcrgdoll. the prisoner's mother, visited
lllfl,
him yesterday, and later said she was '
ilisKiitisllcil with Captain Weir. Cap
tain Weir has received 110 word of it.
Officers of the military Intelligence
believe Erwln spent much of his timo
while a fugitive with tirovcr. until
the latter wns captured in his mother's
home Inst January. At-that lime the
place was raided by government agents
who believed botli brothers were hiding
there.
No verdict bus been uuuntinccd yet
in the court-martial of Colonel John
K. Hunt, whose trial ended yesterday.
An acquittal is expected. He was ac
cused of neglect of duty in not sending
n stronger guard with (Irover when he
