Thompson. whose name was made public today as the fifth member of the police automobile squad to be indicted for alleged graft in stolen automobiles to appear for pleading led to the discovery that he has been ill several months in a Brooklyn hospital.

BERGDOLL LAWYER
 MAY BE IN HIDING
Chairman Kahn of House Military Committee Has "InfoImation"
 of Considerable Interest

Washington. Feb. 9.--Susgestions that D. Clarence Gibboney. of Phil adelphia former attorney for Grover Cleveland Bcrgdoll wealthy draft dOdger who escaped to Germany, was not drowned recently off the coast of Mexico as rcporte are con- tained in an unsigned letter received today from Philadelphia by Chair man Kahn of the house military con mittee.
 Tn making the letter public Chair man Kahn whose committee is to begin an inquiry Thursday into Berg dolls escape said this was the first intimation that had come to him that there was a doubt that Gibboney had been drowned after the founder ing of a small boat near Campeche, Mexico, some months ago. He added, however, that his examination of the records indicated that Gibboney had acted "suspiciously" in the BergdolI case.
 State department officials do not credit reports that Gibboney was not drowned and Is in hiding. They said relatives of the lawyer had requested the department 10 obtain permission from the Mexican government for the disinterment of the body and it's shipment to the Cnited States and that the necessary permission had been given.

Winthrop. Mass, Feb. 9.--Because Violet l.. HaGman took it into her pretty head to dance three times with another man, William T. Talcott, who had been keeping company with her for five years, lost his head and struck her on the nose. Blood was drawn and her new evening gown was spoiled. but Talcott would not give her a handker- chief nor allow the other man to do so.
 This was the testimony of Miss flag man, an attractive girl of nineteen years, in the district court yesterday, where Talcott was on trial for assault. Talcott said he did not remember striking her. He said his feelings toward her had not changed and he be- lieved she still cared for him.
 Why, when I passed her home on the way to court she ran out. of the house, put her arms around me, hugged and kissed me-" he testified, saying, I want my Bill. I'm just as much to blame for this as you are. don't want to go to court.
 Under cross-examination Miss Violet admitted that she still wanted her Bill,' but the court held that the as- sault was unwarranted and fined Tal- colt S10. He appealed.

Sidney t0 know this Ia their strange association at IIorGtian wine tcastS. Jed was tactfUl, respect ful, conSldcrate a1d joyIal.
 To Mrs. Sidney he was at time cour- tcouS and thuughtful, 0t other times diSrcSpoctful or even brutal Some times he seemed to frightpn himself When I saw that he was ag1ln begin ming to show di~rospeCt for her, l was for putting an end to It. Mrs Sidney was mortified when l said that Jed could be brought to terms. She held up her hands
 "No, ao." she said. Not in any event, Never. please. speak to Mr. Sidney. Please never think of it. Jed Is invaluable to MT. sidney. He Is not so di>coUrtcouS to me as you might think. He Is crUN and drinking CueS not make him better, but 1t Is AIr. Sid- ncy's whim that he should drink. It would be uniuSt-duu't you see 1t would be unjust ito make a point against him of behavior that Mr. sid ucy causes. Please never mention iL"
 She was very much In earnest and was not satisfied until she had my promise that I never would speak 10 Mir Sidney of Jed until l hnd her con sent. She then showed relief, and l felt more distressed. Jed had some hold on this rcsolute lady that should have liked to break.
 Jed's attitude toward me was thing to drive distracted a person who cared what 1t was. l did not. He could be interesting. and then I was interested In him. He could he stupid. and I avoided him. He could be Surly, and I ignored him. He could be quar- relSOme, and fought him back.
 It seldom was a matter of sobrlCty or iasOhrIety with him. He was best naturcd to me at times when he was most intoxicated. He was surllest at times when he wns perfectly sober. At other times he quite reversed this. One never knew from his physical cOndi- tiun what his disposition might be al
