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

BERLIN CABINET TO QUIT
'ContinuM From Flrt Pagp.V
communication returning the counter
rroposals to Berlin was seen today in
the invitation of the allied supreme
Council to have American representa
tives among its members, as well as
cn the reparations commission and
council of ambassadors.
An official statement of the Amer
ican position is expected when the
invitation is formally received here.
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. They interpreted these to
x--an that the allies would undertake
;o iAOJddB em jnout. spBNjoiq on
ln United States.
Comment on this question also was
t itnnein. Dut It is understood the
i nitea fctates would look with dis
favor on such a procedure if American
lonmerce with Germany was to be In
terfered with in any way.

ance in court proceedings of any of
the principals.
Letters MarkeC as Evidence.

complaint with having intimate rela
tions with Beauvais, who is described
as the father of her son, Guy. Her
answer denies her husband's charges
and accuses him of having had im
proper relations with a former
chorus girl and with being the father
of the woman's chlld.

effort to introduce in evidence letters
alleged to have passed between Beau-val.-
and Mrs. Stiliman. Some of

country place at Pleasantville, N. Y,

ing room smiling and willingly posed

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 4.
The annual Memorial day proclama

ing Tuesday. It follows:
"Whereas, This nation has been
conceived in prayer and devotion by
men and women who were moved
under God to found a nation where
principles of right should form the
lasting cornerstone; and whereas
these principles purchased at the price
of great sacrifice have been fostered
by a worthy posterity; and whereas
the great war has laid its costly de
mands upon our land; now, therefore,
I, Warren G. Harding, president of
the United States, do hereby pro
claim Monday, the 30th day of May. a
day already freighted with sacred
and stimulating memories, a day of
public memorial. I invite my fellow
citizens fittingly to pay homage on
this day to a noble dead who sleep in
homeland, beneath the sea or in for
eign fields so that we who survive
might enjoy the blessings of peace
nd happiness and to the end that
liberty and justice, without which no
nation can exist, shall live forever.
'In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
'Done in the District of Columbia

Inquiry also would be made Into tie
Amalgamated Clothing Workers and
