 tails Famous Escape

Philadelphia, Jan. 24.--Tlred of being d fugitive, he said, Eugene stechcr, companion and chauffeur of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, notor- ious draft evader, yesterday surren- dered to the federal district attor- ney here. Today he was in Moy- amcnsing prison in default of SIG. 900 bail charged with aiding and ahet- ting the assertion of member of the American military forces and with harborlng and concealing such q fugitive. The maximum penalty for such an offense is 10 years im- prisonment or s10,OOO fine, or both. No date has been set for his hear ing.
 On tho verge of a nervous break down and with his hair turning gray from worry, he said, Stechep walked into the office of the United States district attorney, accompanied by lawyer, and gave himself up. He said that he had returned from Ger many 10 days ago. and Chat he had seen Bergdoll at Ebrnbach few days before sailing for this country. He declared that he had repeatedly urged the millionaire fugitive to re- turn 10 the United States and "face the music" and that a dispute over the subject had caused them 10 sep arate two and half years ago ' Since then, he said, he had lived with his wife, who came to Germany, and that he had earned his own liv- ing. Mrs. Stecher did not accom- pany him back to America.
 After relating the details of his flight at the wheel of Bergdoll's rac-. ing automobile, which started here in May, 1920, and took the two half way across the continent and into Canada, where they sailed from Quebec for England, Stecher told As- sistant United States District Attor- ney Deininger that he was glad it was all over. Prom the beginning" he said, Eve been wanting to come back and get it over, but I didn't know just how to go about it."
 Despite Stechner's denial, some federal officers expressed the belief that his return was fin the nature of a feeler" for Bergdoll, who was said to have wanted to surrender for some time. Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll, mother of the fugitive, said that he had promised to come back before sthe last election" but that since he did not keep his word, she did not
