Sachs "Got" Bergdoll?

For months and years, one Sachs, said to be a private detective, said to be a German-American, has been puttering about Germany, announcing now and then, "I'll get something on Grover Cleveland Bergdoll yet!"

Last week Mr. Sachs achieved his ambition. He came forward with a girl who swore that famed Philadelphia draft-dodger Bergdoll committed an immoral act with her, in Heidelberg, some three years ago. Mr. Sachs openly and publicly exulted when slacker Bergdoll was clapped into jail at Mosbach, Germany, while the Mosbach police "investigated."

At Philadelphia, Mr. Bergdoll's mother cautiously opened her door "by the width of a pencil" when visited by reporters. They poked an account of her son's arrest through the slit. After reading the despatch, Mrs. Bergdoll replied through the door: "I don't believe a word of it! When I was in Germany with him, he went around with a lot of young people but he never used to go with girls of the sort who would have him arrested. I don't even believe that he's in jail. He would have cabled me if he was."

Further despatches from Mosbach asserted that the German police view with equanimity the possibility that Bergdoll can now be deported to the U. S. if the charge against him holds water. Since his sensational escape to Germany from the U.S. his escapades have put the German authorities to all sorts of trouble, notably on Aug. 11, 1923, when he shot and killed one member of a group of men who attempted to kidnap him at Eberbach with intent to bring him back within the reach of the U. S. courts.
