M:(:t Israel Opens Trial Of Yossele's - thicle (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM — The trial of Shalom Shtarkes on charges of kidnaping his nephew, Yossele Schumacher, opened here Tues- day with the boy presented as the prosecution's key witness. Yoselle, whose disappearance for nearly two years stirred a search for him on three conti- nents and sharpened the cleav- age between Orthodox and anti- religious elements in Israel, appeared in Jerusalem District Court minus the sidecurls he had grown during his hiding by extremist orthodox groups. He also wore the typical sports jacket of an Israeli schoolboy. The boy, who was finally found by United States secret service men in the home of a Brooklyn rabbi last spring, re- moved his spectacles to enable two prosecution witnesses to identify him as the lad who was brought to the Kommemiut Vil- lage, an Agudas Israel settle- ment two years ago. The witnesses were brothers Zalman and Reuven Kutt, who described how the boy was brought to their home for lodg- ing. They testified - they were enroute to the synagogue for mincha services when they were accosted by Yoselle's escort who arranged for lodging. But neither would definitely iden- tify the defendant as the boy's escort at that time. Zalman Kutt pointed to both the defendant and to one of the court spectators as the person who might have been the escort. Reuven Kutt said he could not identify anyone in the court- room as the possible escort. The defense counsel tried un- -successfully before proceedings began to obtain postponement -pending action on an applica- tion to stay the proceedings. He cited a petition of Yoselle's mother to the attorney general to halt the prbsecution against the . defendant who • is her brother. The attorney also cited a letter from the boy's grand- father, Nachman Shtarkes, to • Prithe Minister Ben-Gurion ask- ing .him to intervene to call of the trial, declaring that this should be done now that peace in the family had been restor- ed. The grandfather spent more than a year in jail for refusal to aid the authorities in finding the missing boy.
