HARRIS TESTIFIES IN BERGDOLL CASE Says He Was Responsible for Draft Dodger's Release Under Guard. By Assorl.itrd Press: WASHINGTON, May 2. MaJ. Gen. Peter . Harris, adjutant general of the army, told a house investigating committee Monday ..that hi alone W3s rt?pon.slhle for the release under guard of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, convicted draft dodger, to go out secretly and hunt for a pot of buried gold in the mountains of West Virginia. Bergdoll was permitted to start on the golden chase, but never re-1 turned. escaping at Philadelphia where he had stopped over on hi3 way from Fort Jay, X. Y., to viit his mother, now awaiting sentence for conspiracy to aid him in evading the draft. It was on the plea of Samuel T. Ansel!, formerly acting aujuant general of the army. Gen. Harris testified, that tho prisoner was let out. The general said he had been assured by Mr. Ansell, attorney for Bergdoll, that the story of the hidden treasure was true, and that he would be sent back to Fort Jay as tsoon as he had combed the hills for his gold. Former Prig- Gen. John H. Sherburne of Boston, counsel for the committee, and members wanted to know why the expedition was surrounded with such secrecy and why efforts were made to avoid publicity. The general said he assumed, at least, that the prisoner's family wa9 respectable and that he would be humiliated if seen travelling under military guard. "I wanted to fpare the feelings cf the prisoner and his family." "Wns there any sympathy a year ago for this draft dodger?" askeJ Mr. Sherburne. "There was no sympathy for him. I believed he was entitled to the same consideration as other prisoners." "Then there was no suggestion as to why the authorities were directed to avoid publicity except to pparc the feelings of the Bergdoll family?" Chairman Peters asked. The general replied that if the newsv.jpers had gotten hold of the facts they would have given the trip considerable publicity.
