schoultz late Wednesday afternoon,
when a states witness testified that
he had seen Scheultz sitting on the
concrete retaining wall about the DR..
Herman residence, Jefferson avenue and
Waldran boulevard, about two weeks
or 10 days before the two high school
girls were lnsulted by a man who was
seated on that wall. The witness knew
schoultz well and stated that 1t was
schoultz whom he saw there.

that his father also was born In sweden.
and that he and Schoultz talked In

These visits to Johnson, Sr., enabled
Johnson, Jr, to know the masseur well
enough to identify him as the man who
sat on the Or. Herman wall one morn
Ing early in April. JohHoon said he
was driving downtown to BUSINESS when
he saw Schoultz on the wat. !.
Johnson's testimony, following as II
did. on the heels Of testimony Of two
