Still Hunting for Slayer of Saraf 
  City detectives and police are still hard at work in search of information 
which might lead to the arrest of the person or persons who murdered George A. 
Saraf in his West Broad street store Friday night. 
        A number of arrests have been reported, but no definite information has 
been received which would warrant a formal charge being made. Some of those 
arrested were released after questioning, and others detained for further 
investigation. 
  Detectives Chris Fountain and Harry Pitts have been assigned to the case.
