STEAL REPORT
ON BERGDOLL
Valuable Papers Taken
From Office of Repre-
sentative Johnson
POLICE SAY 1T
is INSIDE JOB"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Nearly
a thousand copies Of a House COM
mittee report on the escape OF
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the draft
dodger. and big wooden box con-
toining certain Bergdon documents
together with many private letters
and papers. have been stolen
from the office Of representative
Ben Johnson. Democrat. Kentucky.
The theft OF the reports. written
by Mr.. Johnson and printed at his
own expense. was not discovered
until yesterday. while the Washing
ton police were still trying to get on
the trail OF the thieves by examina-
ton OF finger prints on the window
panes. one OF which was partially
removed. Entering the window OF
the Office. on the main floor Of the
House Office building and adjacent
10 the postoffice. the thieves made
no attempt to steal articles OF pecu-
MARY value and the room was not
ransacked.
The box. bigger than a steamer
trunk, was only partly filled with
papers. and by shaking II round. Mr..
Johnson said, the thieves easily
could have learned that 1t contained
nothing as heavy as bottle OF
whisky. a product which. Il was
said. robbers lately have sought in
the building. It was dragged through
the door, the marks being plainly
visible. but capital police. some OF
them assigned TO duty only a short
distance away during the night de-
ciared It could not have been taken
from the building without their
knowledge. They had failed tonight
however. to locate Il.
Discussing the robbery, Mr.. John
son said
Il have no hesitancy in saying
that the robbery was for the pur-
pose OF securing certain particular
papers. as well as 10 have the oppor-
tunity to look over other private
papers Of mine. Since I have beer
asked the direct question, I will state
that the box contained some papers
connected with the recent Bergd oil
investigation besides very private
and important papers.
"All circumstances point conclu
sively 10 a desire for certain impor
tant papers as the object OF the rob
berry. The box. which was taken
contained nothing whatever OF pc
cuniary or material value, whil'
many articles Of value were lying il
full view.
Moreover. Il would have beei
apparent once the box was lifte'
that II contained nothing but papers
II was only one-third full Of then
and anything heavy in It would hav
rolled around. The circumstance
also plainly indicate that the per
son on the outside who planned tn
robbery had one or more confeder
ates on the inside. The manner i
which the ONCE was entered and III
box. as big as a trunk. taken ou
shows that the person who manage
the robbery had an intimate know
edge of the layout OF the office an
the building itself"
The majority report on Bergdoll
escape was prepared by Mr.. Johnso
and filed some weeks ago In IN
House. but no action on II was takei
