MRS. BERGDOLL'S FATE
NOW RESTS WITH JURY
Case Given in Charge This Morn
ing by Judge Dickinson; Re
garded as Favorable.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Philadelphia, Sept 2S.-The Bergdoll
conspiracy case was given 10 the jury
shortly before noon today. The de-
PENDANTS are Mrs. Emma c.. Bergdoll
mother of Grover and Erwin Bergdoll
convicted draft dodgers; Charles A.
Braun, a brother of the two Rergdoll
boys; James +. Romig and Harry Schuh,
friends of the family, and Albert Mitchell
an automobile dealer. They are charged
with conspiracy TO aid Grover and Erwin
to evade the military law during the war
Grover was sentenced TO five years after
he was captured and subsequently escap-
cd. Erwin surrendered and is serving
four years IN the Federal prison at Leaven-
worth, kansas
The charge to the jury by Federal
Judge Dickinson was regarded as slightly
favorable to the defendants by lawyers
who heard it delivered.
He declared he would accept the re-
sponsibility of informing the jury that
the evidence showed unequivocally Grover
and Erwin were soldiers, because of their
induction into the military service.
The question confronting the jury, he
stressed was whether the defendants
conspired TO block the recruiting of an
AHItiican army Dy heepiHB ofoNer anu
Erwin out of uniform.
Judge Dickinson said it was not an of
Tense to conspire to do anything, unless
the thing was actually done.
He warned the jury that the testimony
of witnesses who were accomplices and
"squealed on their companions" was
tainted and to be scrutinized with great
care before acceptance.
Don't be afraid to follow your iudg-
ment, the Judge continued cit is for
you to separate the true from the false
in this testimony
at is too much to expect any mother
to surrender her own son.
PITY and sympathy for deserter are
no excuse, however, for harboring a de
serter or aiding his escape" the court said.

CITY PREPARED
Continued from page I

While it is expected that repairs to the
machinery Of the ircinerator of the crem-
atory plant will be completed by Thurs
dav. CITY Solicitor Huxley had advised
the Health Board To await further notice
from him before actually getting 10 work
on the disposal of the refuse. This is to
enable him 10 cover fully the matter of
the;ntentions of the bonding company
with regard 10 undertaking this work,
as it has a right to do, if it so elects. The
contract calls for the payment of $4,000
per month, and runs for four years. II they
figure that they are able 10 carry on the
Job for that AMOUNT, they can do so, and
on the completion Of the contract would
have no indemnity 10 pay.
II. however, they decide 20 abandon this
option Of the bond, on their so stating, the
Board of Health stands ready to take II
over
Mr.. Huxley has been in active communi-
cation with the American Surety, the bond
ing concern, and expects an answer from
IL not later than tomorrow NOR rnirg.
II this is To the effect that the bond will
be forfeited, then the Board OF Health
will act. although technically new letting
of the contract would have to be adver
tised for and n contractor found To re-
place the present one. 1t is considered
that the emergency justifies the necessary
expenditure for the interim, and IN the
event that no satisfactory contract can
be made, the CITY will undoubtedly have
10 work the plant for the present
II is hoped that the matter will be IN
shape for action of some kind by Council
at its regular meeting on Thursday eve
