"I cannot say; my attention was not particularly called to him before the accident; but I supposed he was the one, from the fact of his having the child with him."
"Could you, at this time, recognize the man whom you saw with the child after the accident?"
"I think so. I took especial notice of him then."
"Look at this old gentleman, sitting by me," said Sharpman, waving his hand toward Craft, "and tell me whether he is the one."
The man turned his eyes on Old Simon, and looked at him closely for a full minute.
"Yes," he replied, "I believe he is the one. He has grown older and thinner, but I do not think I am mistaken."
Craft nodded his head mildly in assent, and Sharpman continued:—
"Did you take particular notice of the child's clothing as you saw it after the accident; could you recognize, at this time, the principal articles of outside wear that he had on?"
"I think I could."
Sharpman paused as if in thought.
