But almost every day someone

Al another time the outlaw ap-
pcared mysteriously in his mothers

mel was fruitless-the secret never
has been discovered
Shortly after this Grover disap.
peared from Philadelphia. Mrs.
Bcrgdoll appealed to the chairman
OF her sons draft board, Mr.. John
j.. Dwyer. an old family friend, for
his assistance in helping her sons
evada the draft call. She would
gladly give 100000 to the Red
Cross. she said, II her two boys
might be exempted
She could never ask her boys 10
submit to the draft and become
fighting soldiers. she said. Her
excuse was that both were afraid
OF the sight of blood. Some time
later Mrs. Bcrgdoll was arrested
and charged with abetting her sons
IN their evasion OF their military
duty, but the Jury acquitted her. It
could only be shown that she had
not urged them to submit-it could
not be proved that she had asked
them not 10 do so.
The progress of Grover Berg.
doll across the country after
he had fed from Philadelphia was
marked by postal cards which
he imprudently mailed back to the
agents OF tho Secret Service. He
seemed TO take especial delight IN
Haunting his dlsloyalty In the face
Of the law and in twitting Its rep
resenta,iyes with their failure to
catch him. The trail OF the postal
cards was closely followed. but
Grover kept ahead OF tho authorI-
ties and eventually was heard from
In Mexico. Panama, Colombia and
Venezuela.
Just when the watch about his
Philadelphia home was relaxed he
appeared there again, boldly riding
up to the gate in car he had taken
out OF the garage at one OF tho
country homes.
