Grover eluded military guards in whose GUS tody he was released from Governors Island to go to Maryland in search of $150,000 he claimed to have buried in the mountains there.
 Erwin Bergdon was immediately locked up in Castle William, the prison occupied few months ago by his brother. Charges of desertion will be preferred against him. He announced fle would not resist court martial and would defend himself with military counsel.
 Neither MT. Romig nor Braun would say where they had met BergdoIl, all though they admitted having accom- panied him here from Philadelphia. 1 Erwin Bergdon's defense is expected ! to be based upon the fact that he had not registered for the draft and con sequently could not be classed as a de- serter.
