field glasses as lookout for safe
robbers, it became known today
when the robbery OF six safes in the

visit was one OF series in which in
the last three weeks have puzzled
detectives and in which p sales, all
within the shadow OF the worlds
tallest building have been attacked.
While the total thefts are not ex-
pectcd to be large, the victims re-
ported that the safes had been
damaged to the extent of $4,000. in
every instance, they explained, the
robbers had entered the building be-
fore the workers left for the day.
and at night went about the task OF

terious 100000 pot of gold around
which rcvolves the circumstances
leading to the escape of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, the millionaire
draft dodger was traced by the
house investigating committee to the
kitchen table in the Bergdoll home
in Philadelphia.
Within day or two the commit
tee hopes to get closer to the present
location OF the treasure and estab-
lisll definitely whether the story of
the burying OF the gold in the NOUN
tains near Hagerstown was merely
a hoax to enable Bergdoll to escape
from serving his sentence for draft
lodging.
James f. Romig, better known as
the Judge the round-faced and
jovial handy man of the Bergdoll
family for the past u years, was the
principal witness at today's hearing.
Ronig was present in the Bergdoll
residence in Philadelphia when Berg
doll made his escape,
He told how. in the fall of 1919,

going to parole him long enough to
go hunting for gold.
Bergdoll was described as "a
coward" and as having "a yellow
