The woman then fell into the water. It could not be said whether sho was pushed into the water or that she had Just fallen in the struggle. The three men then jumped into the water. A junk sent out a dinghy to pick up the men. The occupants in the dinghy picked up the woman first. She was unconscious and the witnesses would not be able to say whether she was dead or alive, but the fact remained that the unfortunate young woman never regained consciousnėKS. The second prisoner was also picked up, 'und, after tying him up, they handed | bím over to the Police. A pair of rattan gold mounted bangles, which tho woman was known to be in the habit of wearing, were never recovered. The two other prisoners were later arrested on the boat where they were employed.

Reason for Questions
At this juncture his Lordship inform- ed the fury, that he was asking the question for his own satisfaction and had nothing to do with the charge on which the prisoners were arraigned. They were not charged with murder. and the Jury would have to damla from their minds what Dr. Dovey had [said,
