indirectly the means of sending Orlin
Kalderwit, Charles Harmon and John
Kolb to the gallowss
The incident will be strong link
in the chain Of evidence being drawn
about Kalderwit, the first of the three
prisoners now on trial for the murder
of Freddie King on Nov. %. On ac-,
count; OF it the state will prove that
the. three prisoners were actually on
their way to Columbia Heights aon the
eventful night.
Julian .Gautfeld, conductor on the
Eighth and Central line, will testify
10 Tor the state that the three rode to
the end Of the line on his car on the
night Of the murder. Gautfeld took
the car at the East Side station after
the fares had been paid to his prede-
cessor. The three prisoners asked him
fol, transfers to the stub line. As he
had not received their fares he was
obliged to refuse. A quarrel followed,
three perfectly. Finally Gautfeld gave
them the transfers.
These transfers were never used and
will figure in the case. After reach
ing the end Of the line, the trio waited
over one car, making their transfers
useless. When they took the stub they
paid cash to Marley, the conductor.
AS most passengers have transfers,

rushed across the courtroom to the

moments. Then Kolb and Kalderwit

at times broken by her light, gurgling
laughter. =
