inct that the slacker's induction notice
was stamped instead OF signed by the
adjutant general threatened to work
havoc with the prosecution for q time.
ID. Clarence Gibboney, who along
with Captain Bruce II. Campbell, mill
tary counsel, shouldered the defense,
visited Bergdoll yesterday. He was ac-
companied by former Magistrate James
y. Romig. Gibboney also said the de-
fense is resting ut present. The posi-
bility Of an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court for writ of habeas
corpus to snatch Bergdoll from the mill
tary authorities and reopen the case
in the civil courts is not being con
sidered pending the announcement Of
the verdict. he said.
The general supposition is that Berg
doll will get off with less than ten
years imprisonment, possibly only one
or two.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles G. Cres-
son. who directed the prosecution, said
that he had no thought Of getting the
thirty year term he had asked. "The
prosecution always asks for more than
it really needs and always gets less
than it expects" he said. Bergdoll is
working with other prisoners at the
island. His chances Of staying in the
comparative proximity to his home that
he Is enjoying now, thus allowing of
frequent visits from his mother,
depend upon the length Of this sentence.
IL less than year, the draft dodger
will remain at Governors island and
keep his quarters in Castle William.

be shipped to Atlanta or some other
federal prisop.

Wunnnnker'S
A Man Tells
Me How He
Fooled
Himself

He said, 81 was fiat on
my back in bed in a room
overlooking the ocean,
looking out of a clear
glass window twenty feet
from where / lay, when /
saw what seemed to be a
small rowboat with a man
in it, a mile and a half
from the shore, b eing
tossed up and down on the
high waves"
He said he watched IL
for two hours expecting
every minute to see il
swallowed up and lost.
What was his surprise the
next day to find, while
sitting close to the
window, that his sight had
deceived him and that
what he had taken for a
boat in the distance was a
black speck of waste or
color that had fastened
itself on the glass-there
it was, just over his nose.
And as the waves danced
up and down they seemed
TO move the black spot up
and down.
How easy it is to be
misled by our eyes, ears or
memory, and get astray
without knowing it for a
time!--such a very little
thing puts us into making
a mistake.
