given on Thursday at tho inquest in the case
OF PhGbe Paullin. who was murdered at Eagle
Rock. Prosecutor Keen decided that 1t was his
duty to place George Franck under arrest. He
held conference with Judge McCarter at the
Court House in Newark yesterday morning.

stable Lang to go to Orange and take possess
sion OF Franck's house and place officers In
charge OF him. Constables Wood and Osborne
were also sent to Orange to aid them.

and his daughter. who drove slowly up the
mountain. or by Frank Ebert and Mr.. Mitchell.
