ANOTHER STARTLING
RUMOUR.
www.
POLICE STATION SACKED!
Another instance of piracy nerves Is the rumour-since proved to be without foundation- that the Cheung Chau (Dumbell Island) police station has been. attacked by pirates who got away with the station's armoury of rifles, revolvers, ammunition etc. The rumour was first heard in Hongkong from Chinese trades- people who returned from Cheung Chau after collecting, business accounts. Their story was that police had hushed up the matter so as not to prejudice their investiga- tions.
The Vacuum Oil Company, A.S.; of Copenhagen, Denmark, states: Macao as people coming over by Now the rumour has reached "As to delivery of 200 gallons yesterday's boat were inquiring of Gargoyle Mobiloil "B" to about the robbery," claiming that Hornafjord.

FOUND GUILTY.
LANTAO POISON CASE VERDICT.
DEATH SENTENCE.
JURY RECOMMEND MERCY FOR WOMAN.
After two and a half hours' the deliberation, the jury at Criminal Sessions yesterday re- turned a verdict of guilty against the Lantho woman charged with the murder of her husband. The woman was alleged to have put poisonous leaves in her husband's food and during yesterday's hear- ing before Mr. Justice Gompertz she accused the victim's parents of committing the crime in order to get her into trouble,
I was not before 7.25 p.m. that the jury returned with their verdict. They found accused guilty but recommended her to mercy.
Before the Judge passed sentence. the woman denied that she murder- ed her husband, declaring that he committed suicide. The reason of his death, she said, was that his parents scolded him day and night and he committed suicide.
Presenting his case for the defence, Mr. Campbell Prosser submitted that despite all its the Crown had recourses, not put into the witness box any- one who could say that death Dr. Min- was due to poisoning. with
