"And this estimate takes no account
of repairs and upkeep.
"The point of my objection to the
whole project Is thnt no such amount
of, the taxpayers' money should b
spent for such a purpose, which might
be only one of a long series of similar
expenditures once the start is made,
especially In this era of high prices.

"The city todsy facee, and will face
for months to come, a great danger in
an inadequate water supply. The lives
and property of hundreds of thousands
are endangered. Instead of arranging
to spend money for the erection of

be mentioned, why not devote our at

Chairman Kenyon asked if Thomas

"He's a Republican," Mr. Gerard re
plied. There was a discussion as to
Mr. Lamont's connection with the own
ership of the New York Kvening Post.
Mr. Gerard soid the Kvening Post was
supporting Governor Cox, but added :
"1 understand Morgan & Co. turned
the control over to Its editors and let
them run It as If it was nu Independent
organ, because they consider that the

Asserts "Interests" Hack Harding
"Why do you think that the Bcpub
Means can raise more money for n
campaign fund than you can?-" asked
Senator Edge.
"Because Harding was nominated by
the big interests," Mr. Gerard retorted.
This started a controversy, and when
Mr. Oerard said that was his opinion
Senator Edge said the committee wob
seeking tacts, not opinions."
"Do you know of any 'sinister in
fluences' raising funds for the Repub
lican campaign?" Senator Edge asked.
"I do not," the witness replied.
"Do you know of any connection the
liquor interests have had with the
Democratic fund raising?" Senator
Kenyon intervened.
"No," was the reply. "I'm n 'dry.'
I hope they are not concerned."
Colonel Thompson, in testimony on
Republican finances, said :
"So far we've spent more than
we've raised. I've bad a theory that If
we made our organizations wide enough
there would be men enough willing to
give so that we should not have to ac
cept large sums from any individual."
"I understand that." Senator Heed
interjected. "But when did you get in
all these hired Y. M. C. A. Christians to
help you raise money?"
"Don't throw too many of those
slams about these young fellows who
went in to.inlsc money to help win the
war," said Mr. Thompson.
"I'm talking about these profession
als who get the big salaries," replied
Senator Reed. Tho witness testified
thnt he bad employed only one man for

Assemblyman Orr declared the two

Applause from all parts of the cham

Colonel Cresson said. "Then she

Corroborative evidence to support the
chnrire that Braun held ut federal
agents who searched his home for Erwln
Uergdoll while the fugitive was nuKing
his escape was offered today.
Joseph McDevitt, Tederal agent, was
the witness upon whose testimony the
proocution depended to corroborate the
testimony of Fltzhugh Lee Crccdon, who
esterday testified that Braun told him
of delaying tho federal agent while
Erwln escaped.
U. S. Agents Were Tricked
The alleged delay and escape oc
curred January 7 of this year In
Braun's Broomall home. Braun'a home
was raided simultaneously with those of
Erwln and Grover earlyln the morn
ing. Grover was captured at his
home at Fifty-second street and Wyn
nefield avenue, hiding under n window
seat.
McDevitt commanded the party that
Invaded Uraun's home and told today
of the subterfuge by which he was de
layed from mounting the stairs.
A woman called down twice that he
couldn't come up because she was not
fully dressed. Then Braun, fully
clothed, came downstairs and delayed
him by arguing.
While this argument was going on
Creedon said enerday, Braun told blra
that Erwln slipped down the rear stairs
of the house and made his escape.
The first witness called wns Charles
Krnuse, twenty-six years old, of 1315
North Twenty-ninth street, in close
proximity to the old Bergdoll home at
Twenty -ninth and Cambridge streets.
Former Soldier Testifies
Krausc is employed as bookkeeper
and paymaster by the Hall Concrete
Products Co.. a concern owned and
operated by Al Hall, a son-in-law of
Mrs. Bergdoll.
He said that he had known the
Bergdolls since childhood, and had
known Romig nbout twolve years. He
had worked for Hall eight years, he
said. Krnuse was in the army and served
In France. lie was a soldier from
February 25, 1018, until July 23, 1010.
He told of meeting Grover two days
after he left the service, and of meet
ing hira frequently after that. Two
or three times a week, he said, he would
meet Grover at Fifty-second and Mar
ket streets or at bis own home.
He also told of n gunning trip be
started on with Braun on November 0
of last year. They left the Braun home
at Broomall, he paid, and headed for
Oxford, Pa. Their machine developed
Ignition trouble and while they were re
pairing it just east of Broomall another
machine in which were Erwin and
Grover and Richard Sehroedel, a friend,
who testified yesterday, came along.
Slackers on Gunning Trip
Grover and Erwln. Krauze said, ner-
suaded Braun and himself to change
their plans and go gunning with them
to Rising Sun, Md. Ou the night of
November 0, he said, tne party slept
in a barn about nve miles trom Rising
Sun. After gunning all the next dav
they went into Rising Sun and got
Hotel accommodations for the night.
Krausc taid he slept with Erwln.
Sehroedel and Grover, he said, blept to
gether, and Braun slept alone. Yester
day Sehroedel testified that Krause and
Braun slept together and that he, Er
win and Grover had separate rooms.
The fol'owing day, the witness said,
the two machines returned toward Phil
adelphia, the car in which Grovcr, Er
win and Sehroedel were riding continu
ing on toward Philadclnhia.w.ljcfl Krausc
and Braun left the Baltimore pike to
go to Braun's home at Broomall.
Krause said the meeting with the
Bergdolls and Sehroedel on the road
was accidental, and that during the trip
Braun had given the Bergdolls no finan
cial or other assistance.
McDevitt was the next witness. He
told of the trip to the Braun home
about 0 o'clock on the morning of Jan
uary 7 this year. With him, he said,
when he entered the back door, was
Deputy Marshal Kelly and a man
named Campbell, not an official. The
party, he suld, explained their errand
to two women servants, and then went
to the foot of the front Btairway.

Despite the fact that Furey1 U in the
automobile business in Baltimore, he
agreed to come to Philadelphia with the
pair. They left Baltimore at night and
arrived at the Broomall home of Braun
about 0 o'clock.
Accompanied by Woman
The woman and Furey entered the
house and Erwln drove to a secluded
quarry somewhere off the Baltimore
pike, Furey said. Later the same morn
ing, according to Furey, he nnd Braun
visited Beigdoll In the quarry.
During the ride to the quarry, Furey
said, he told Braun that Grovcr wanted
$4000 In cash and a new automobile of
a make Furey could not obtain for him.
Braun carried sandwiches and coffee to
the fugitive, Furey .said.

Schub and Furey took tho new machine
and went to Baltimore, Mrs. Braun
and her husband returning to their
home in their own car.
Furey said that when tho party
reached Baltimore, he left tho others
at his home and that they rode away.
Under examination at this point he
recollected that Braun had given Berg
doll a small package or envelope sup
posedly containing money while at the
quarry.
Then Furey told of meeting Bergdoll
and Crccdon in Baltimore a few days
after the capture of Grover. The three,
he taid, had been together awhile.
Creedon was sent to Philadelphia

Furey went to tho Maxwell Apartments.

Then Furey wns handed over to tho
mercies of Mr. Bean for cross-examination.
Tho questioning was a grueling
one.
Mr. Beau opened up by asking Furey
if he hadn't been for the last ten years
"a lackey and fluukcy for Orovcr Berg
doll, because Grovcr purchased all your
clothes for you and gave you spending
money."
Furey denied it. He said he was mar
rled and that nt the time of the trip
with Erwin from Baltimore his family
was living near Thirty -seventh street
and Powelton avenue, and later moved
to Twenty-ninth nnd Oxford streets.
Wife Didn't Know of Trip
"Do you know Nell Emerson?" Mr.
Bean asked.
"Only through my introduction by
Erwln," was the reply.
"Do you mean to say you never saw
her before that time?"
"I do."
"What did your wife think of your
all-night trip in tho automobile with
her?"
"She didn't know it."
"Have you seen Nell since?"
Furey hesitated nnd Mr. Bean broke

you know that she is in this courtroom

Furey admitted this was so.
