Emma c. BergdoH Of Philadelphia.
that he had been paid $4,000 to aid
in obtaining freedom for Grover
Cleveland Bergdou, her draft dodg-
ing son. Maj. Campbell declared that
the sum sent to the brokers was his
own money, hidden by his wife at
her home since the early days Of the
war.
The major. called here hurriedly
without opportunity TO examine the
charges against him, first declined
70 testify at this time as 10 the
source OF the fund. But, pressed
hard by the committee. he turned
about sud- emily and told Of the hid
den treasure, and a moment later
related in detail how a $500 invest
ment, placed with the late Milton
Young, Of Lexington, KY. before the
war, grew to six thousand dollars by
1917. 1t was this sum, he said, that
was hidden away and later shifted to
Wall street and lost.
Processing ignorance as TO how
the Young investment had increased
Maj. Campbell said that it had been
turned back TO him by a man, still
living, but whose name Re declined
at the moment to give. Then in the
midst of a sharp exchange with a
committeeman, Campbell broke in
declaring, "Oh, hell, it was my faith
err"
At this point the committee de-
cided to call the father, William r
Campbell, Of Lexington, who was
asked TO come here at once.
Extremely reluctant To touch up
on family affairs TO clear himself OF
the charges, Maj. Campbell declared
that 1t had been his purpose to ask
time that he might be able to cor

said, that he did not want to dis
close all OF his evidence until he hat
been allowed time to submit proof il
