DESCRIBES HOW
BERGDOLLMADE
QUICK ESCAPE
Friend of Draft Dodger's Fam
ily Says Auto Was Waiting
Baker Denies He Knew of
Temporary Release.
Philadelphia, Pa.. May 22. The
method used by Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, convicted draft dodger, in
escaping from federal guards yester
day was explained today by James
E. Romig, a former magistrate and
riend of the Bergdoll family, who
has figured in the case ever since
Bergdoll became a deserter from the
army .in 1917. -
According to Mr. Romig's story,
Grover's car, which had been laid
up all winter, was being put in con
dition by the mechanician when- he
arrived home. Grover went driving
through the surrounding country
that afternoon, with his guards. Yes
terday morning the mechanician
was still working on the motor car.
Mr. Romig understood it was being
prepared for a journey. He was to
accompany Grover, but he did not
know where. -
"How about a. search for $150,009
Grover is said to have buried in
Maryland?" he was asked. j
"I do not know anything about
that."
Mr. Romig' told the details of the
escape.
- Recited Shakespeare.
"We were in the library, Grover,
the two guards and myself," he
said.- "Grover was reciting Shake
i speare. Just when he had us all
laughing the telephone bell rang.
Grover went into another room to
answer it. When the bell continued
to ring, one of the guards said:
" 'He didn't answer that.' The
. sergeants looked for Grover. I
joined in the hunt, but no trace of
him could be found. We then found
that Grover's own car, which the
mechanician had been repairing in
- the garage, had disappeared.
"My God," said one of the guards,
where has he gone tor
"I telephoned". Gibboney (Berg
doll's attorney) and he came out at
once. He seemed greatly upset
Then he telephoned to the police, to
Washington and to Major Hunt at
- Fort Jay."
Baker Issues Statement.
Washington, May 22. Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, rich draft dodg
er, who escaped from two army ser
geants' at Philadelphia yesterday,
was permitted to leave Fort Jay on
representation of his counsel that
he had senreted a large sum of
money In a place known only to
himself, Secretary Baker said today
in a formal statement.
Mr. Baker denied published re
ports that he had authorized the
moving of Bergdoll and said his
first knowledge that the prisoner
had left Fort Jay was when Adju
tant General Harris reported his es
cape. The secretary added that on
receiving this report hi "directed an
immediate and thorough investiga
tion." .
A 11, . . . ...J. -J
A war department siateme.ni. saia
General Ansell, former acting judge
advocate general, had informed the
department "that he had gone into
the matter carefully and that cir
cumstances indicated the truth of
Bergdoll's statement about the hid
den money."
Paid Expense of Trip. '
"He also stated," it was added,
"that he would pay all the expenses
of the trip and, notwithstanding the
guard, he, as Bergdoll's counsel,
would stand responsible for his
prompt return to prison."
-The attorneys for Bergdoll are in
honor bound to return the prisoner
to the disciplinary barracks, and the
War department expects them,
through the offer of a suitable re
ward and other proper means, to
apprehend Bergdoll at the earliest
practicable date," said the state
ment. Four More Wr.'sipal Ice

HUSBAND GAVE
HER TWO BITS
DAILY TO EAT
T ii i i.
Chicago Woman Forced to
Feed Self and Two Chil-
dren for 13 Cents
1 Per Meal.
Chicago. May 22. How she pre
pared a meal for three on 13 cents
was told in court today by Mrs.
Elizabeth' TerweH. She had gone
into the court of domestic relations
to secure a larger allowance from
her husband. ' -
"I came from an old-fashioned
family," Mrs. Terwell Said. -"My
mother taught me how to cook. I
guess that is why I have been able
to furnish meals for myself and two
children at an average dost of 13
cents for the three. It is true the
meal generally consists of a 9-cent
can of tomatoes and 4 cents' worth
of macaroni. Sometimes we have
bread, milk and cheese. The only
meat we have is a cheap soup boneJ'
Has "Stingiest Husband."
Mrs. Terwell described her hus
band as the "stingiest man in Chi
cago and sad tie invariably gave
her 25 cents in the morning to buy
food for the day. He ate away from
home, as a rule.
The court ordered her husband to
give, Mrs. Terwell at least $1 a day.
bhe thought she would be able to
feed herself and family on that
amoiJht, despite the high prices.
"Ihe reason it costs women so
much nowadays to buy food is that
they are always-running out to the
bakery and store to buy ready made
things. .Now that 1 have a larger
allowance I m not going to be ex
travagant, but Im going to do my
own baking and save, some money.
We will, at least, have enough to
eat. '
Saves on Clothes, Too.
Mrs. Terwell also thought women
spent too much for clothes. "This
hat cost $1.50 and I have had it
seven years,", she said. "My dress
is five years old, but it don't look
bad." '
Mr Tprwelt ha an inrnm nf
$250 a month, his wife told the
court. He saves nearly every cent
of it, she said.
