My name is SYLVESTER GASTON and I am also known as "ROBERT". I live at
Major Bay with my sister, JULITA GASTON, and her boyfriend Vancito Pickering.
I arrived in the British Virtin Islands in September 1976 and I have stayed
with my sister ever since. I know Miss EVELYN of Major Bay. She has a shop
and a Bar and she lives in a house next to them. On Wednesdays I go to her
shop to look at television to see "Good Times"¿' The last time I went there
was two weeks ago, but I now go down to the road to shoot pool. At about
5.30 p.m. on Monday 17th JANUARY, 1977 I was on the Major Bay School yard
watching basket ball and Miss EVELYN was standing at her gate that leads to
her shop. She called me by shouting to me and when I went she asked me if I 25
saw who last came in the shop about two weeks ago when we were watching
television and I told her that I could not remember who was the last person.
I am now saying that it was on Thursday, the day after we had looked at
television, that she asked me who was the last person I saw went into the shop,
