Although charges of dereliction had been made against him, thc War Department jumped him from major 'to colonel, John B, Hunt admitted today before the House special committee investi gating the cvnpo of drover Itergdoll. Colonel Hunt's testimony wns devel oped under a stiff cross-exnmlnntlon by itepresentntlvo Johnson, Democrat, Kentucky, n committee member, who tries! to prove thnt thc court-martial of the commanding inner ot tort .lay wns "n whitewash." Ilcrgdoll was a prisoner in Fort .Tny, Governors Island, in charge of Colonei Hunt when he was permitted to leave, guarded by two noncommissioned of ficers, to search for a "pot of gold," said to have been hidden In .Maryland. , 'Notified of Promotion Speaking slowly nnd cautiously, the colonel, now retired, testified he had been notified of his promotion, thnt he had Informed his counsel, and that it was reasonable to believe his counsel hod so notified the prosecuting attorney. The announcement of his promotion, he insisted, was not made to intlucnce the court, but rather to have the records contain his proper rank. Itepresentntlvo Johnson asked the witness If he believed dismissal or de motion By tho War Department would have harmed his ca.se before the court mnrtlal, which later' acquitted him. Colonel Hunt refused to admit he could hove been dismissed legally, but said the promotion announcement would not have harmed his case, but might have prejudiced the court. "Then it is quite true thnt the Wnr Department wns cognizant of tho seri ous ehnrges against you, but continued to promote you in spite of thutV" Mr Johnson asked. Promotion by Law "It was 'i promotion by law," Col onel Hunt answered. "Then thero wns no power in the land that could stay that?" "I don't think it would have been just." "Could the President have stayed voiir promotion pending the outcome of the Hcrgdoll case?" Mr. Johnson asked. "I don't know, but I would not thinK so oxript In a most exceptional case," Colonel Hunt replied. Upon further, inquiry Colonel Hunt admitted Unit it wns an unubuni case. He then said : "I can only state that J lelie1vetlI am entirely Innocent of the "escape of (trover 0. Uergdoll : that I used iyy best Judgment. I don't know by what pioc ess of law my promotion could hnvo been stopped. 1 was legally entitled to it nnd I vas legally entitled to a fair trial.

Psychlntrlst Assailed Major Amos T. linker wns "one of those fellows who cannot tell when u rich draft deserter is dangerous," Uep rcscntutlve Johnson .snld, concerning the psychiatrist who advised iu the Itergdnll case. He was connected with the board which examined Into Ilerg doll's record In connection with the court-martial. "Is that anything like u ouljn board," Mr, Johnson usked. "That was the best source of infor mation I hnd," Colonel Hunt answered. "This board from which I received mv information summoned ns witnesses all these persons who could throw tiny light on Uergdoll nnd his pnst." When reference was made to n psy chlntrist, the committee brought out the name of Major linker. They paused to get u definition of "psj chlutrlst." "I was informed by Mnjor linker, as well as by the president of the board, that Uergdoll wus not u criminal, that ho was subnormal, that he didn't amount to much, nnd wns not n crim inal." Colonel Hunt said. He said lie wns compelled to accept the opinions of the board. Sergeant O'Hnre, who accompanied Uergdoll on his "pot of gold" expedi tion, wns hero to testify when the committee was convened. Former Judgo John W, Wescott, of Haddonlield, did not nppear before the committee this afternoon. Representa tive Peters, of Maine, said the judge had wired hfin he hnd an important case and did not desire to appear until next Tuesday. Mr. Peters was frank In expressing his Impatience in so far as the com mittee had sent for Judge Wescott a econd time only because the latter had n quested a hearing. The judge denied statements that he was connected with the Uergdoll case. "He has carried on his bluff long enough," was Mr. Peters' curt remark.
