In his petition Bergdoll attacks the

power to raise an Army, thus de-

of the provost marshal general and
violates the fourteenth amendment.
Bergdoll also claims thlt a man
must enlist before he can become :,
soldier and that inasmuch as he never
enlisted he was not a soldier and can
not be prosecuted as such. He also
claims that failure to- appear for a
physical examination can only be

some one.
Naef and his associate were On
their posts when the Bergdoll party
approached the station, and this Is
what ensued in the next few MIN
utes:
The Attempted kidnapping.
The square in front of the station
was poorly lighted and little traffic
was in process. The Stacker halts his
car in front of the little station.
Bergdoll is at the steering wheel. In
the rear Of the car sat the bride and
groom to whom the Stacker was host
and the brides sister and her f1ance.
The events that now follow in rapid
succession in that little town on the
Neckar startled the entire world, re-

knowing something of American au-

identity papers. he succeeded in 60
ing to Eberbach in a Cadillac car
and parked the car in front of a
hotel there.
1t was not long before Bergdoll
saw the car. but. suspicious of any
thing that looked American. he sent
one of his men to meet my colleague.
Before long they were engaged in
friendly chat, all suspicious having
been discarded by my colleague s
appearance as that of a genuine
''Dutchman" and by absence of the
slightest trace of an accent in his
speech. My colleague was finally
asked if he would not sell the car.
to which he replied in the negative,
but remarked that he knew a man
at Ludwigshaven, which is in the
French occupied zone, just at the
boundary line between the occupied
and unoccupied territories, who had
a Cadillac car. and that he might
want to sell 1t.
So they called up the man at Lud-
wigshaven. who. having previously
been consulted and assented to SELL
ing the car. as he had no chauffeur
who could drive it. agreed to sell
the car to Bergdoll. Inasmuch as he
had no driver. he invited Bergdoll
to come to Ludwigshaven This met
with his approval and an appoint
ment was arranged for a few days
later-that Bergdoll was to come to
Ludwigshaven and buy the car and
drive it back to Eberbach.
Plans Go Wrong.
Everything was arranged In its
most minute details. Upon setting his
foot on French occupied territory the
Stacker was to be trapped by the
American and French secret police.
Unfortunately events took a different
course.
On February Is, 1921. just two days
before Bergdoll was scheduled to call
for his car at Ludwigshaven, where
