MURDERER QUICKLY CAUGHT.

The Slayer of Old Veteran Paulsen III
the Hands of Byrnes' Men.
NEW York, Septr 80. 1s92.-The butch
cry of Frank C. Paulsen, the old veteran.
in Hester street last night has been ex-
planned by the police. The motive turns
out to have been robbery.
The murderer was arrested last night
with the dead mans watch upon him
The prisoner at whose door the police lay
the murder is Frank w. Rohle, a marble
polisher.
A singular procession entered Police
Headquarters this morning. In the pro-
cession was a dark skinned German with
a SLOUGH hat and dense. Abb beard,
haudcuffed. and behind him a policeman,
who held the prisoner by one sleeve; fol-
lowing were both Captain Cross of the
Eldridge street squad and Dougherty OF
Fifth street. Captain Cross carried q
hatctet or axe with a handle a foot and a
half long.
At the bottom of the stone steps that
led to headquarters the procession halted
for a an instant. The prisoner had
stopped. looking doggedly up the steps.
refusing to move; but a push from the
policeman behind him sent him up one
step, and the four move again. AS they
went up Captain Cross iourished the axe
alta group of reporters at the door.
It was a signal that the murderer of
Frank g.. Paulsen, the veteran soldier
who was almost chopped to pieces at No.
139 Hester street last night was caught.
The prisoner was the murderer; the axe
the weapon with which he did it.
When the prisoner and the police came
our an hour later. the Cautain re-
fused to give the particulars for
the present. They will be forthcom-
ing later. But the story of the cap
ture was learned on the outside, and it
developed the fact that the axe came near
figuring in another tragedy.
The victim this time would have been
Policeman Emanuel Meyers. only his club
got ahead of the axe and won the day.
