Bergen was shot by George F. Cllne, a motion picture director, in the latter's home in Edgewater, N.. J., while Mrs. Cllne looked on. Cllne, arrested on the charge of murder, told County Detective Nathan Allyn a remarkable story. . Cllne made his statement in - the presence of his wife, Mary, and her two brothers, who corroborated what he said, both as to the relations between Bergen and Mrs. Cllne and the circumstances of the shooting. According to Cline, he met Bergen first in Salt Lake City a year ago. Six months later Bergen came East, and Cline heard that he had been arrested in Atlantic City on a charge of grand larceny. Cline said he got: Bergen out on bail, and the case was dropped. Cline said that he got Bergen a Job with the Fox Film corporation and took him to Saranac Lake with a company for which he, Cllne, was location manager, six weeks ago. Mrs. Cllne also went on the trip. In his absence, according to Cllne, Bergen attacked Mrs. Cllne. According to Cllne's statement, hi* wife told him of the Saranac incident. He said that she had brooded over tt and finally had decided to confess. Cline said he telephoned to Bergen to come to his house, and then invited bis two brothers-in-law *te be present at the meeting. Bergen had no sooner entered the Cline home than Cline repeated what his wife had told him. "Yes, I did it," Bergen said, according to Cllne. "what are you going to do about it?" Cllne went out of the room without saying a word. Bergen was smiling. When Cline came back he had two revolvers. "As long as you feel that way about It," said Cllne, according to his statement, "let's settle this thing like two men. Take this gun. We'll go upstairs. There's a big empty room up there and we can have It out. "I handed him a revolver, keeping one for myself. I told him to follow me up to the upper room, but half way up the stairs I saw him trying to get the drop on me and I fired/" The story told by Cllne had It that Bergen ran out of the house and fell dead In the street a block away. Prose cutor A. C. Hart of Bergen county pointed out that this part of Cllne's story disagreed with the statements made by the Edgewater police, who said they had found Bergen on the sidewalk in front of Cllne's house. According to the police, Bergen was still alive, although unable to talk, and did not die until he was taken to the police station. When found, * Bergen raised his hands' feebly and indicated that he meant the policemen should search htm. Following his hint, they looked through his pockets and found a piece of paper, stained with his blood, on which he had .written the words "George Cllne killed me." A policeman read the words aloud, and the dying man appeared to nod his head In confirmation of what ae had written. Cllne was arrested In his home, which was on Undercllffe avenue. He was taken to the Edgewater pplice station together with Mrs. Cllne and her two brothers, Lawrence and Thomas Scullion. Owen Langdon, an Edgewater taxlcab driver, also was held as a witness. Langdon said he had been called to the house to pick up a passenger. While waiting, he said, he heard two shots and hastened away to get a policeman. prosecutor Hart said- that threata had been made against Bergen's life during the afternoon, but refused to tell the cause of these threats.
