derwit is now on trial, was the fea-
ture Of the afternoon session yesterday.
Tho but 10 years old, the boy gave his
damaging testimony without hesitation
or embarrassment and withstood most
examination Of Attorney McGhee.
When the boy stood up in the wit
ness stand and, pointing his slim little
hand at Kalderwit, said, s"That is the
man Isaw. He had 9he mark on, his
hand,' the spectators were almost
ready to break into applause. The
room was deathly silent as he gave his
testimony in clear, childlike voice.

most photographically accurate in
every detail. On the cross-examination,
however, he told Of two marks on Kali
derwit 8 hand, whereas there is but
one tattoo mark, a blue star. He de-
| scribed the circumstances Of the hold
Kalderwit held his revolver so that
the mark was visible. He remembered
identifying Kalderwit. at the police
| station, and even told how the prisoner
kept his right hand covered at the
| preliminary hearing.
l. With childish skill he drew with pen
and ink a similar mark on McGhee g
| hand, at the same time naively exclaim-

At the preliminary hearing, and at all
other times, he has told Of but one.

+ On cross-examination McGhee created
some amusement by asking the witness
