According to the story told the
Woodbridge police by John Sabo,
the storekeeper whom the two men
attempted to hold up, he was alone
in his grocery store in King Georges
road, near Buns Lane, Thursday
night about o'clock when two
masked men suddenly entered the
front door. One of the men, whom
Sabo identified later as Larson, had
a revolver, the storekeeper said, and
demanded that he produce what
ever cash he had on hand.
Sabo said he refused to comply
with this demand and no sooner had
shouted mo" when Larson puNled
the trigger of the revolver he held.
There was a click but no report.
Seeing that the revolver was USE
less the storekeeper came from be-
hind the counter and grappled with
the two men. He finally succeeded
In throwing both of the would-be
"stick-up" men out of the store.
During the fight Larson maintained
his hold on the revolver, Saboy said,
using it as a club. When the two
men gained their feet and before
Sabo had again entered the store,
the police were told, Larson again
cooked the revolver and pointing it
at Sabo fired. This time there was
an explosion but no damage was
done. The men then disappeared.
Sabo notified the Woodbridge
police of the attempted robbery and
Chief Murphy assisted by Officer
Duffy located Larson and Bakus and
placed the two men under arrest.
Larson was arrested in Perth AM

"They haven't a thing on the
boy" his father. Francis Kluxen,
Sr., declared after the examination
was over. The elder Kluxen owned
the wooded strip in which the
crime was committed.
How could he come into the
house after a crime like that He
sat quietly and afterward go to bed
and sleep soundly. 1t would have
been impossible. I am satisfied he
is perfectly innocent. He told
straight story to the police. They
questioned him four hours. and got
nothing from him but a straight
story"
The boy il held on a warrant
charging on information and BELIEF
that he assaulted and killed the girl
The word murder is not used IN tne
body of the complaint.
Responsibility for young Kluxen's
arrest was declaimed by County
Prosecutor John NJ. Mills. He said
the borough council OF Madison had
ordered Chief of Police Ryan 70
make the murder charge against
the boy.
II am willing TO be convinced
FRANCIS Is gu4ily, li4S pAOSSN Aeoi -
clared, but until I am convinced I
will go ahead investigating clues
that l tlSnk will unmask the real
murderer"
Mr.. Mills asserted that exani-
nation of the boys clothing and
pocket knife for blood stains and his
story of his movements Thursday
were the basis of his belief In
kluxen's guilt.

teachers in the county should be
given increases in salary.

said he would have the other MEM
bers give all their time to the county
interests or know the reason why.
William Hallahan was the next
speaker and he continued the attack
on the county paving situation. In
Mr.. Hallahan's opinion the county
had been "warrenited to death" as
he expressed it. and the result has
been the creation of an excessive
burden of taxation. The candidate
for freeholder informed his hearers
that he had worked in concrete for
five years and knew its qualifications
thoroughly.
