Bergdoll Aide Stecker Returns to City Under Scrutiny
Stecker, companion of draft evader Bergdoll, returned to Philadelphia ten days ago and believes no one recognized him. He says his father did not know of his visit and he is relieved to have given up the effort. Stecker was jailed in Philadelphia awaiting bail as officials in Washington discussed possible further action. The case may be handled locally, with officials seeking information on Bergdoll’s activities. An aviation mishap in Hawkinge, England, left the pilot lightly injured after an out of control plane cut a tree. In Madrid, Caletans Dor died from rabies after a dog bite, and in Port Jervis a woman died from lockjaw after a needle prick.
