IS ExONERATED IN
The BERGDOLL Case

Accepting BrIbe, Is Cleared By
Congressional Investigation.

washington, August 18. - Samuel
Iilden Ansell, former acting Judge ad-
vocate general of the army and of the
prisoners legal counsel; Colonel John
Il. Hunt and Colonel C. c. Cresson
were charged with conspiracy in con-
nection with the escape Of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, the draft evader.
IN report signed by three Of the five
members Of special investigating
committee filed today with the House.
Characterizing Ansell as "the mas
ter mind" in the plan by which Berg
doll was released from a military pri-
son under guard to dig up a pot of
gold, the majority report recommended
that he be disbarred from practicing
IN the courts of the nation above
whose safety and integrity he has
placed gold"
A minority report filed at the same
time held, however, that there was no
testimony to support the charge that
Ansell, through whose efforts as coun-
sci the prisoner was released, con
spired to effectuate his escape" or
that his motive was improper.
one Republican, Representative
Luhring, Of Indiana, and two Demo-
Gratis, Johnson, of Kentucky, and

OF Lexington, KY, accused by Berg
dolls mother of having accepted $5,-
600 to help obtain freedom for the
prisoner was exonerated by the major
ity. The minority reported that there
was no evidence that Campbell was in
any way connected with the escape,
but assumed the proper military au-
thorities would institute such investi-
cation as may be necessary to the end
that Campbell may be exonerated. IL

BOOTS CLAIMS he /,
cur COOPER IN SELF.
DEFENSE MONDAY
Lewis County Man Charged With the
Murder Of His Friend Is. Held In
Local jail Pending Heir.
Ing ut Vanceburg.

Gerald Boots, OF Lewis county,
charged with the murder Of his friend
and neighbor, Robert Cooper, Is cele-
brating his twentieth birthday in the
Mason county jail today.
Boots, who surrendered himself to
the sheriff Of Carter county at Olive
Hill Wednesday evening, was brought
to Maysville late Thursday by Sheriff
Bertram, of Lewis county, and placed
in the local Jail to await an examining
trial before County Judge Stone at
vanceburg which will probably be
held sometime next week.
When interviewed Friday morning
at the county jail, young Boots, clad
in overalls and barefoot, seemed little
affected over the serious predicament
in which he finds himself. He claims
that the was attacked by three young
men, Cooper, Stacey and Stamm, when
he was walking along the Indian creek
road after attending the Indian creek
church Monday evening, He said he
was with young lady when the three
men came upon him and one OF the
men fired three shots into the air. An
other said something about killing him
and the young lady ran. One OF the
men then grabbed him, another struck
him and the third, Stacey, attempted
to draw a revolver from his pocket
Boots says, when he drew his knife
and cut Stacey. Then Cooper came al
him and he cut cooper in the abdomen
from which he later died.
Boots says he was perfectly sober
and that the only reason he knows for
the trouble was that he owed Stamm
five dollars. He said he could produce
several witnesses to nrove that he cut
in self defense and said he did not fear
of being convicted. When told that he
was facing a very serious charge
young Boots said, "Oh well, they won't
give me more than fifteen years"
Young Boots is a grandson Of VIII
liam Boots, former road builder and
itinerant preacher, who formerly trav'
eled through this county and is vel
known to many Mason county people.
