Bergdoll, draft evadcr, planned an escape from custody, At torney General Palmer declAred in a statement tonight, disclaiming respon sibility on the part of the Department of Justice for circumstances which permitted Bergdoll to get away. In formation that a plot with an escape in view was under way, Mr. Palmer said, was first obtained by the army authorities and was given to them by his department. "The Department of Justice received a letter from one of its agents, dated April 30," Mr. Palmer said. "to the effect that Bergdoll would make ap plication for a writ of habeas corpus that would take him temporarily out of the custody of the War Department and place him in the custody of a marshal or deputy marshal; that pend ing these proceedings he would at tempt to make his escape, or, if al lowxed bail, would jump his bail bond.

Philadelphia, May 24.-Col. Thomas Q. Donaldson, of the inspector gen eral's department, Washington, and Col. Alexander B. Coxe, of the army general staff corps, arrived here to (lay to take up the local txngles of the War Department's inquiry into re sponsibility for the escape of Grover C. Bergdoll from two army guards here last Friday. Bergdoll at the time was on an alleged "treasure hunting furlough. No trace has been found of the fu gitive by the federal and civil agent searching for him. Rumors of all sorts reached the federal authorities today, one of them to the effect that Bergdoll had planned to leave the country. This was given some cre dlence by Hlarry B. Pierce division su perintendlent of the Department of Justice, who received a report from Atlaintic City that the yacht Emmi C. said to be ownedl by Bergdoll's mother, had disapepared from its mtooring there a fewv hours after his escape. Mr. Pierce requestedl the au horities at Washington to warn all coast guarid , revenue, lighthouse and other go vernment ayents to watch for the yacht along the .i mtic coast. \report also was received that the fit in had been seen in Atlantic ~i ity ite Frnia afternoon, but this cit not he ion firmed.
