Hagerstown, Maryland, Sensation is to be Abandoned. f Washington, Aug. 29.—The pot of gold reported found at Hagerstown, Md,, by a laborer has gone into the .realm of mythology, so far as govern- ment investigations ar cencerned. No money, ‘not even the lone thin dime reputed to have been seen by other workmen, was dug up, accord- ing to William J. Burns, chief of the department of justice bureau of in- vestigation. His agents, returning to- day from Hagerstown after a two day investigation were called off the scene after reporting that the whole story was a hoax. The story, the agents reported, was invented by fellow workmen and giv- en to a Hagerstown newspaper in fur- therance of a joke planned against a ‘“tightwad” in the gang of road work- ers, in order to make, him envious. The only treasure dug up, the report sald, was a rusty tin can, and the only money found was a dime which dropped from a small boy's pocket while standing near the workmen. Alien Property Custodian Miller, who called the government investiga- tion into action in the hope of recov- ering & sum of money sald to have been buried in Maryland by Grover Bergdoll, was infermed today of the results of the investigation and was told it had been. dropped. Chiet Burns said, however, that the search for the Bergdoll gold might be con- tinued indefinitely.
