The man named Marshall said, "You said one of them did go down by the schoolyard?"
"Yes, sir. I told them all to go around the other way and the one kid said, 'Hey, they're fighting,' or something like that, and he ran down the street. I tried to stop him. But he got away from me."
"And then what happened?" asked Stevenson.
"Then I saw the fuzz—the police coming. I ran down to warn everybody. And all the guys were jumping around throwing their coats away."
"And the little boy?"
"I didn't see him at all any more. Except after the police came. I saw him go running around the corner."
"What did this boy look like?" Stevenson asked.
"Gee, I don't know, sir."
"You don't know?"
"No, sir. He was in his Hallowe'en costume."
