PROSECUTION 'REPLY
Mr. Strellett then rose to address His worship and said that the de- fence had taken advantage of the long lapse of time. A considerabe amount of detail had been given and it was incredible that so much had been remembered. On the other hand the witnesses were confused on some details. There had been just enough reminders to make their memories safe. It was very significant that when called upon each of the witness had selected a photo out of Bf- teen.

There were numerous contradictions in that evidence and when compared with that of Luk Yan-tsol there were further discrepancies to bu lound. By way of substantiation, Mr. Sin said that he was only going to point out the vital dis- crepancies.
Chul had described that when he entered the Station Hall with Mr. Buong, there were five men around the 2nd pullar on the south side and three around the 3rd. This he further affirmed by saying "Ho (defendant) W&F directing the the operations--he pointed his hand and said to the five men around the 2nd pillar south, Fire." Later on under cross-examination
