TIIE 3I0RNIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1921 WESTCOTT KNEW U F RUSE, SAYS LAWYER Knowledge of Pot of Gold Story Affirmed. BERGDOLL CASE IS AIRED Law Partner of Ansell Corrobo rates His Testimony Before House Investigators. WASHINGTON. D. C, May 4. Ed ward S. Ba'lej, law partner of Samuel T. Ansell, corroborated before a house investigating committee today An tell's testimony that former Judge vst-ntt of New Jersey knew all cbout the story of "the pot of sold' liefore Urovr Bergdoll, draft dodger, escarjed. He was qtt-siioncd because of the emphatic declaration by Judge wesi cott yesterday that the first he heard of the buried treasure was after Berg coll had sk'pped. Mr. Bailey also corroborated the Ansell testimony, ilen-ied by Westcott, that the judge went to the war department to see the secretary in the prisoner's behalf and remained some time without see ing him. Testifying after Mr. Ansell had been fubjected to a severe cross-examination by Representative Johnson, dem ocrat, Kentucky, Bailey related the Bist of a conversation as to plans by which the lawyers hoped to obtain the release under guard of Bergdoll t recover h's hidden fortune and in which the late D. Clarence Gibboney find Judge AVestcott took part. Westcott Bit Reticent. "While G'bboney was) explaining tiow Bergdoll had come to Washing ton with Judge Romig, his friend, and had obtained $150,000 in gold from the treasury department," said Mr. Ir'ailey, "Judge Westcott said little. But certainly the impression made on me was that the judge knew every thing about 't prior to our confer ence." Responsibility for changing military rlans, by which Bergdoll was per mitted to stop over in Philadelphia lo visit his mother, fell properly upon the shoulders of Mr. Gibboney, Mr. Bailey declared. It was from his Mother's house that Bergdoll escaped. Mr. Bailey told the committee of a talk he had with Bergdoll at the Gov. rrnor's Island prison, of the latter's tale of the gold and of the military ylans for a speedy trip to find it. Jtr. Bailey declared Gibboney took personal Interest in the prisoner and promised, in event of his acquit tal, to take him to Philadelphia and try to make a man of him. Dodger Defense Attacked. During the long cross-examination t-f Mr. Ansell. direct attaek was made fa the lawyer for accepting employ ment as counsel for an "infamous draft dodger." Mr. Johnson wanted to know if he would have defended Benedict Arnold or Judas Iscariot, and tne witness raid both were entitled to trial under the laws. Luther Martin, an en nent lawyer, Jtr. Ansell declared, represented Aaron rurr, while some of the greatest law yers of their time, including former j President Garfield, had defended Mil- ligan, in the famous border state in surreetion case in civil war days. Mr. Johnson insisted that as he had promised to stand responsible for the safe return of the prisoner, the former judge advocate-general 'of the army vas in duty bound to do so. Mr. Ansell contended, however, that even If there had been an error of Judg neni me request lor the mans re lease was made in gtod faith, and tl at under military regulations the authorities, and not the lawyers, were responsible for his safekeeping. complex problenv was a protracted task for the supreme council, which was occupied in its final session for three hours tonight.

Jn some administration quarters today doubt was expressed that tho United states would consent to formal rep lesentation on the supreme council, lilt it was suggested that it was pos sible that an unofficial observer would be named to sit in at the ses sions, as the United States is vitally interested in the reparations settle ment. State department officers said today that the only information they had regarding proposals under considera tion by the supremo council for a Mockade of Germany was that ob tained from press dispatches from London.
