' Bergdoll Jury Considers Verdict Continued from Tare One their faces a little graver than usual as the moment iinnroaehod when thev must decide the guilt or innocence o'f tho fivo defendants. After the court had been called to order .Tudgo Dickinson ordered tho doors of the courtroom locked. Mnny who arrived a few moments Inter were shut out. Then tho roll of the jury was called, nnd at 1:43 o'clock Judge Dickinson was ready to begin his charge. Throughout the charge all five de- jciiunuin nujn meir pje.s last Upon ills face. Now and then, as ho made some telling point, one or other of the fivo would glance toward the jury, seeking by somo betraying motion of their faces to read what was taking place in their minus, 'ineir attorney, Theodoro Lune Bean, sat near the defendant, as anxi ous as tlicy to get some inkling of what was going on in the minds of the jurors. .Mrs. Bergdoll Intent Mrs. Bergdoll nnd "Judge" Komlg inched their chairs forward and leaned toward the judgo to catch his cvorj word. Schuh adopted his characteristic nt. tltudc, slumping back in his chah, but his faco showed intonso interest. Ilraun and Mitchell bat upright, their bucks stiir and away from the chairbacks. Ailtchcu was irownlng. The twelve men whoso decision would mean freedom or imprisonment for the Uvo showed little emotion. Tholr grave, attentive expression showed they were taking in every word the Judge said. Judge Dickinson, in his remarks to the jury, said : Must Show Justice Still Alive "The cardinal nutation is: Can neo- pie be trusted to govern themselves? und it is for you to decide it in this case. There is no more important part of the government of any land than the administration of law nnd justice. I want you to understand that and show that Justice as wo know it is still a living thing.' "It is your duty to enforce the law. and, to use on expression which has been employed many times over, 'Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may.' Along with your duty to enforce the lnw, you should do justice to the defendants in this case. See that this trial is d fair one. See, that they lire accorded nil their legal rights. "There are seven indictments in this case, which set forth tho particular offenses charged against these five de fendants. .Mtny of the indictments have been divided Into counts, iu which special nhnses oE the charge nrc set forth. The rules of criminal pleading lequire this, nnd 1 understand that there are fifty -six different proposi tions that you will have to decide. "Another distinction you want to get in your minds is that these charges broadly relate to our war activities. We have a selective service net, the pur pose of which was to bring within the scope of the military authorities nil the people of the United Stntes, with hard ly on exception other than that of ngc and sex, which necessarily were lim ited and established nt law. Besides these exceptions, the first proposition is that all people of the United Stntes were subjected to the provisions of the selective service net. The purpose was to bring Into military service those per sons selected to go in thnt service. War Lines Were In Force "There was a dividing line wo may take It which said that people on one side of It were civilians nnd as soon ns they crossed the line they were sol diers nnd subject to military law and regulations. The law also determined that people on one side of the line cmild do something which would be con- per-Uidcred offenses against the Fnited States, and that people on the other side of the line could do things considered offenses ngainst the United Stntes. Therefore jou can see that one might be guilty of obstructing recruiting for the military forces of the United Stntes even though ho wns not in the service. This is one of the charges In the indict ment. "After a man hns crossed that line and is inducted in the army he may be guilty of desertion, but a muu cannot bo guilty of desertion from the military service until he is in that service, nnd I take the responsibility upon myself of instructing ou men that both Kr win nnd G rover Bergdoll were in the mllltnry service of the United Statea and deserted therefrom, and If there is any objection I will hear it." Bean Falls io Object At this stage Mr. Bean made as if to attempt to speak, but the judge did not notice that the attorney for the de fense was trjiug to say something and continued his charge. "It Is up to jou men to determine the fact whether there was or was not concert of action to defeat the purpose of the draft; whether this teamwork was manifested in any way. "No matter how clear the evidence of conspiracy, it is no offense against the law if it stopped there. The law Is merciful, and no matter how repre hensible n conspiracy may be, It is not a legal offense unless one or more of tho conspirators carry it out. "The offense is a conspiracy followed by at least one overt act. It is n con spiracy to commit some offense, against tho law. What is the offense in (pies tlon here? One is obstructing thu peo ple of the United States in recruiting nn army. If committed it is an offense whether the person is in the army or not. Throwing hindrances in the wny of registrants coming forth, or hiding them cvado service, Is nn offense against the lnw. That is tho offense with which bonic, mnjbe all, the defendants are charged. Another Is that after Grover and Lrwin were Inducted nnd became deserters that the defendants did 'knowingly and willfully harbor, con ceal and aid them. "It really comes down to this ques tion : Did they, do tho nets of which they are charged with conspiring to do? I pnss that question over to you men." In consequenco of tho attempt of the defense to attack tho credibility of Fltz liugh Lee Creedon nnd Thomas E. Furey, the chief witnesses for the gov ernment. Judge Dickinson explained to the jurors the law on character wit nesses. "It is too much to expect n mother to surrender a son ngainst his wishes and force him, by telling the authorities of his hiding place, into captivity," he said In conclusion. "The same may be said of a brother. "But that Is not the issue In this enso. The defendant nro accused of havlug actively engaged In aiding Grover and Erwin Bergdoll to evade service." Then court was closed uud the Jury locked up. Dleo on Motorcycle Reading, Pa., Sept. 28. William O. Hchaeffer, prominent In the motorcycle trnde hero, (lien wnno seated ou uls machine last evening.
