Bergdoll has not been ar- rested, but hay made a formal' state- ment to the police.” The four men held in connection with the attempted kidnaping were removed last night to another place in Baden, the name of which was not made public, They are: Griftith, a former American lieutenant; Faust Gagarin, a Russiun prince; Roger | Sperber, h detective and a clti- zen of France, and John Nielson, an American chauffeur.
