Reviewing the history Of the

that demands served on banks, Mrs.
Bergdoll and other individuals

property, whether cash, real estate
or securities to his office.
THE demand" Colonel Miller
declared, would cover the so-called
sum Of money which Bergdoll was
reported to have hidden in the
vicinity of Hagerstown.
1T will be remembered that the
War Department, under Newton D.
Baker, believed this story so au.

been a wild goose chase, which re-

the adjoining room was made ac-
