surged about the Jail The crowd re-
mained for nearly two and half
hours, Chief of Police Smith said.

rude Butler, the young woman victim
of the assault, identified Deis and Co
mez as two of three men who held up
her escort. William Eldredge, and her
self at Buzzard's Bay. The police
said that both prisoners had made GER
tain admissions, and that third ar

citement was noted to-day, either here
or at Barnstable. Chief Smith said

the crowd during the siege of the lock

MOSTLY ALL YOUTHS.
Members of Dali Eireann-Many of
Them Boyish.

Dublin. Aug Is (By the Associated
Press Members of the Dali Eireanr
were astfr early this morning and
wore more serious look than ever
when they gathered at the Mansion
house for the days meeting. Appar.
emily they realized the great respon-
sibility they were carrying.
They arrived singly and in groups
of young men and young women, as
most of the members are, with an oc-
casional veteran such as Gount PUNK
EFT, and Professor Stockley. All the
women were in mourning, some wear
ing widows weeds.
Most of the youthful Legislators are
shy and bashful, avoiding any demon
stration as far as possible and dis
playing particular skill in lodging
camera men who are displaying much
activity, apparently desiring to secure
pictures of all the Bail Eiresnn legis-
lators they can, in view Of the possi-
bility Of a break in the negotiations
and the resumption of hostilities in
volving the scattering of the members
Judging from the newspaper reAec-
tions of public opinion, however, the
people of Dublin seem TO have more
confidence than many people abroad
that the war viii not be renewed.
How long the secret sessions of the
Dali will last none of the deputies
(which the members of the Dali are
called when addressed in Englishl
would venture TO predict.
The probability seems TO be, how
ever, that the private meetings will
extend over the week end with the
next public meeting early next week.

London, Aug Is by the Associated

yet convinced the British of the sin

fer which TO them appeared so gen

The opinion obtains, it was indi-
Gated, that the Irish leaders are still
playing for time and increased prestige
at home and abroad as the result of
the formal opening of the Dali Eireann
and its business like conduct of af-
fairs; and TO this there is no obiec-

continuance of the negotiations.
As to the truce being broken and the

ANSELL "NASTER
MIND" IN CONSPIRACY
OF BERGDOLL,S ESCAPE

who might be needed to make sure oi
the gold hunt release which at last
spelled Bergdolrs escape"
The majority report commended the
seizure of the Bergdoll property by
Alien Property Custodian Miller and
urged that he make every effort to
produce $l05,000 in gold obtained by
Mrs Emma c. Bergdoll from the treas
ury department and alleged to have
been buried on her farm near Philadel-
phia. This was put in at the insist
ence of Representative Luhring, who
declared that the withdrawal of the
gold was the foundation stone of the
whole conspiracy.
"Unquestionably Conspiracy Existed"
The minority held that, while "un
questionably conspiracy existed to eff
feet the escape of Bergdoll," it did not
find that any officer received any
bribe or was approached with view
of bribery" but that the conspiracy
was participated in by Grover Berg
doll, the late d. Clarence Gibboney,
Philadelphia lawyer; James f. Romig,
formerly Philadelphia magistrate and
friend of the Bergdoll family, Ike
Stecher, the Bergdoll chauffeur, "and
possibly Mrs. Bergdoll." On this point
the majority declared that Gibboney
and the Bergdoll group conspired to-
effect the slacker's release, but in or
der to successfully accomplish it, it
was absolutely necessary to have the
active assistance of Ansell and Bailey
Edward S. Bailey, his law partnerl
and Colonel Hunt, for without these
latter Bergdoll could not have left Gov
ernor's Island.
"From the moment Bergdoll left
Governors Island and the conditions
him. said the minority, |
became apparent, he saw he could de-
part when ready without violence.
That such a condition existed is, of
course, scandal. Less than ordinary
precautions to prevent escape were
used"
1T seems said the majority, that
very happening whether of act or
mission-resulted in Bergdolls benefit
md not one to his real detriment."
Colonel Hunt, within the next two
months after he participated so Grim
nally in the escape" said the major
ty," was promoted and retired
AN outraged nation" it added, has
he right to demand that Colonel
Hunts annuity be discontinued"
Anybody who has seen and heard
II of those associated, directly or in
irectly, with the plan and manner of
'ergdolrs escape" said the majority
eport, mot only must recognize An
ell as the master mind of them all,
ut also as their dominating and con-
rolling spirit.
The minority declared that the es
ape was seriously to Anselrs pecuni
ry disadvantage" in preventing him
rom obtaining a larger fee for sp-
ealing court martial sentence, and {
dded: But the letter and personal |
ressure upon his former associate,
eneral Harris, were very impor
ant factor in gaining permission for

oubtedly contributed to the escape"
