COMMITTEE HEARING

WASHINGTON, May r. The house committee Investigating the es- cape of Grover Bergdoll. draft dodger. got down to the loose ends today without another glimpse of the rain bow which was supposed to point the way to the pot of gold. Only a few more witnesses are to be examined.
 It was established that D. Clarence Gibboney, counsel for Bergdoll and the man who arranged the expedition to Maryland to find the treasure, was drowned in Mexican waters last winter.
 Gibboney's young son, a. law stu dent, said he knew absolutely nothing about the Bergdoll case. He pre- sented a check for s550 signed by his father shortly after the prisoners es- cape and made out in the name of Francis D. Weaver, an associate e former Judge J. W. Wescott of New Jersey, but he was unable to say for what purpose the money was paid.
 Major Bruce Campbell. who defend ed Bergdoll at his trial by court martial and who. according to prev ious testimony, had suggested to the Bergdolls that Judge Wescott be kept in the background. declared he never heard the judges name mentioned and knew nothing of any report that he was counsel for the defense.

 As she walked out of the court oom, Mrs. Bergdoll turned to news paper men and said:
 Never will I pay a fine. Perhaps shall go to Jail. Maybe I'd be better eff" The defendants were released under s1o,o0O bail each pending an appeal.
