THREE A CROWD! POISON TAKEN
BY MISTAKE
Fatal Dose Drunk By Coolie
Woman And The Other Wife
Mul Sun Tung, 28, of 72 Fook Wah Street, first floor, a married woman brought a
maintenance
charge against Pang Tak-yau alias | THOUGHT IT WAS TEA Pang Shiu-chun of 112, Cheung Sha Wan Road, 2nd floor, before Mr. E.
An inquest into the death of Yip Himsworth at the Kowloon Magis-xing, a 38-year-old coolie, was held tracy yesterday.
The charges alleged desertion, neglect to provide maintenance and persistent cruelty.
Mr. J. M. D'Almada Remedios said that complainant married the defendant on September 3, 1934 as a kit fat wife, and was happy for a few months.
Later she was assaulted by her mother-in-law and defendant. She was also made to do work which
was irksome.
During October, last year defen- dant had occasion to go to America, where he was made to
ге-
turn as his passport was not in order. When he returned in June 1, 1938, this year, he learnt that his wife had given birth to a girl. That same day defendant took the baby away from her and placed it in a convent. The complainant did not know where the baby was taken, and when she inquired she was given evasive replies.
The defendant was alleged to have claimed she was an unlucky woman and he did not want her daughter.
Mr. D'Almada Remedios sald that it was cruel to take a child away from a mother on the same date of its birth.
זי
Remedios said that defendant forced her to leave on October 12. because of his angentlemanly treatment
}
The mother-in-law left Hong Kong for her village on September 18 and allowed the complainant to remain alone in the house. On October 7 she returned but with a strange woman, claimed as defen- dant's "new wife." Crackers were fired and there were celebrations. The mother-in-law made it clear that both were equal wives. The complainant said that she knew nothing of this arrangement and that defendant had no permission to marry another woman. The complainant said that day after day they tried to make her accept the other woman as her husband's new wife, but she refused and was assaulted.
Last month defendant asked her to leave the house if she do not agree to accept the other woman. After suffering a lot she left on October 12 and stayed with her own mother.
The case was adjourned till November 18 at 2.30 p.m.

CONSTABLE
REMANDED
"Yu Kwong, 26, a police constable
yesterday at the Central Magis- tracy, with Mr. K. Keen sitting as
coroner.
1
The following jury was empanell- ed: Messrs. R. B. Brown (foreman), M. Hess and Li Fook Shun.
Insp. A, E. Carey was present on behalf of the police.
It appears that the deceased drank some fluid, mistaken for tea, which caused his demise a few hours later, on the way to the Government Clyn Hospital.
MEDICAL EVIDENCE Surg. Lt.-Com. R. B. MacVicker, of the Naval Dockyard. stated that Tip King was brought to him at 10.30 a.m., on October 12. Upon examination he found the victim in a state of collapse, and smelling strongly of creosote. After giving him a dose of bicarbonate of soda, he was sent to the Goverment Civil Hospital.
Dr. R. S. Begble, of the Victoria Mortuary, deposed to holding an autospsy on the body of the de- ceased He found the lips and face of the deceased cyanosed, which was the effect of poisoning. Death, Dr. Begbie continued. was due to the shock following the swallowing of a corrosive substance which was found in the stomach and the gullet.
He added that only 1/3 grains of arsenic was found, which should" not be fatal, as it took 3 grains to prove fatal.
The combined corrosive effects of arsenic and of caustic soda was the
initial cause of death.
"
CONTENTS OF STOMACH Mr. V. C. Branson. the Govern- ment Analyst, next revealed the contents of the stomach of de- ceased.
Of the internal organs that he examined he found 1/5 gruins of arsenic, and probably 1/7 grains of arsenic in the rest of the quid sent to him. In all, there were about 1/3 grains of arsenic.
In the two ounces of liquid, he found 20 per cent. of caustic soda solution. 66 per cent. arsenic dis-
solved and a small amount of
creosote.
Replying to the jury. Mr. Bran- son said that this Atlas A, which was the poison used by the de- ceased and which was also an anti- white ant fuld. was definitely pol- sonous, very corrosive and of a dark straw colour.
Insp. Carey Is arsenic quickly absorbed into the body?It is a lingering polson, and very unlike
cyanide or prussic.
DEATH DUE TO SHOCK Only 1/3 grains "of it found. its'
way to the stomach, and yet there
were 2/3 in the cup which deceased drank?-Death was due to shock, although the corrosive fluid attack- ed the aorta of the heart that made it impossible for the deceased to live very much longer. The de- ceased might have lived if he had
1/3 only swallowed
grains of arsenic. but when I received the organs for examination, much of it had been cleaned out by a stomach wash.
"BITTER TEA”
Yu Shu Sau, a clerk in the Bang Lee Company of contractors, testi- filed to bearing the deceased com- plaining about the bitter quality of the tea which he had the misfor- tune to drink............
Chan Kam Tong and Chan Yuen, both labourers of the same firm corroborated the evidence" of the former witness, and the hearing was adjourned to November 13.

Traffic Accident ̈
Narrowly Averted
LORRY DRIVER FINED
Lal Nin appeared on remand be-- fore Mr. W. Schofield at the Central Magistracy yesterday, summoned by Commander G. F. Hole RN, (re- tired), Harbour Master, for driving without due care and caution and for disobeying the light signal at Magazine Gap Road on October 24. Sgt. Green informed his Worship that an additional charge was pre- ferred against the defendant, that of driving without a valid licence. It appeared that defendant's licence had expired in June.
P.C.D. 85 testified to being on patrol duty at the intersection of Magazine Gap Road on October 24, and that defendant went against the red light. The fact that he had only been a patrol man for only a month caused some diff- culty when he testified to seeing car number. 2756 instead of 71,
Commander Hole's car.

Commander Hole said that he
stopped at that corner because the light. was against him. On the light turning to green he proceeded again, bus stopped short when he heard a loud rattling coming from his right side.
He saw a truck bearing down on him with the speed of about twenty five miles an hour. He in- mediately braked his car as he could see that the truck could not stop in time.
Taking the number of the lorry, he returned to tell the constable about the narrowly averted ac- cident and then telephoned the Gough Hill police station.
Later on in the day, Commander Hole said that he examined the traffic light at that intersection,
