from Rumania, also had conccn-

Germans.

NAMED BY PICKERT

In November OF 1886 former
Commissioner Heinrich a. pickert
appointed Frahm as superintend-
ent. the highest office to which a
policeman can aspire. since the
commissioner is customarily a
civilian appointee OF the mayor.
His downfall occurred before his
indictment.
Commissioner Frank d Eaman
removed Frahm from office IN
January. 1910, accusing him of
disobeying borders, failing TO in
yestigate the theft Of money by
officers in the Bethune station and
allowing a false suspicion OF guilt
and theft TO fall upon an innocent
detective lieutenant.
