held by the police today. on a charge»
of conunitting one of the most brutal
crimes in the history of New Jersey
-——I.he murder of Janet Lawrence, aged
twelve. ‘ , ‘1
The little girl’s body was found yea--
terday in a clump of woods owned by
the Kiuxen boy’s father. Janet, ace
cording to the police. had been trader!
up hand and foot with a trope. at-
tacked. and then stabbed twenty-fwd
times. One stroke of the knife seven—
ed the jugular vein.
Francis Kluxen denied all know- i
ledge of the crime. The police arrest-
ed him. however. after questioning
him for several hours Suspicion first
fastened upon him when he was in
the woods with his father aiding in
the search for Janet. He was observed.
to he trembling violently. the police
say. and in response to queglnnl
mumbled. "Awful. awful."
Early today young Kluxen Was
taken to the county jail at Morris—
town and submitted to further quas-
tioning. He did not waver in his
story.
“They haven‘t a. thing on the boy.‘
his father. Francis Kluxcn. Sr., (18.
clared. after the examination was
over. The elder Kluxen owns the
wooded strip in which the crime m
committed. .
"How could he come into the how
after ‘a crime like that .eat. supper
quietly and afterward go to_ bed amt
sleep soundly? It wnlild have been
impossible. I am satisfied he is per.
l‘ectly innocent. He told a straight
story to the police. They questioned
him for four hours and got nothing”-
from him but a perfectly reasonable
and straight story."
The boy is held on a warrant which
charges “on information and belief"
that he assaulted and, killed the girl.
The word murder is not used in the
body of the. complaint.
Responsibility for young Kltpten's
arrest was disclaimer! this morning by
County Prosecutor John M. Mills. 116
said the Borough Council of Madison
had ordered Chief of Police Ryan to
make the murder charge against the
boy.
“I am willing to be convinced Fran—
cis is guilty." the. prosecutor declared.
“but until I am convinced I will go
ahead investigating clues that I think
will unmask the real murderer."
Mr. Mills asserted that examination
of the boy‘s clothing and pock’qtknife
for bloodstains. and his story of his.
movements Thursday were the bash
of his disbelief in young Kluxen'a
guilt. -
