 Six policemen were assigned to guard Austin Muldoon and James Lynch, associates of the slain busi- ness manager of a New York unit of the International Hod Carriers and Common LaborerS' union of Ameri- ca. It was Muldoon according to Bergen county prosecutor John J. Breslin, who swore to an aft1davit asserting that RoSof threatened to kill Redwood if he called 8 strike on any of his jobs.
 Shot Six Times
 Redwood was shot six times as he drove up to his home here Friday night. His assailants fred from an- other automobile. Witnesses believed two or three men were in the mur- der car.

 Breslin called an unusual confer- ence of county officials, including supreme court Justice Joseph A. Bodine, for today to decide inves- tigation. It was believed he would ask for additional funds and as- sistance.
 Widow Aids Arrest
 The prosecutors action followed a long conferel1ce with Redwood's $ widow during which she disclosed that RosoF and her husband had uuarreled over the telephone two days before the murder. A 12-year-old girl, whose name was withheld, told Breslin that she saw the murder car race away from the scene of the killing with four or live tough looking men in It." It was announced that she had visited a garage and selected 1936 Plymouth coach as the car most like the one she had seen. !. Although Friedman's car is 8 1886 Plymouth sedan, Breslin said, neith- CT he nor his car were being held on the basis of the girls story. His interest in Friedman, who is the Rosof trucking superintendent and his car, he said, sprang from what had been related to him by Mul- doom. .a 1 New York police were asked to locate the car. It was found that the license number he had given was issued for car registered in the name of Friedman's wife. Friedman then was arrested and taken to New Jersey for questioning.
