Franklin Fyles is a familiar name:  dramatic editor and critic of the New York Sun for 30 years, per The Jules Verne Encyclopedia he copyrighted two books "by Verne," The Californians and A Fight for a Child, both 1891.  I don't believe either has been located.

Aparently, Franklin Fyles was also known as Franklin File.
