Heidepes is being brought out at each day's session of the court that points more and more to Adients as the murderer of Gertrude Payton, and the deposition of the quartermaster of the steamship Monteagle who received the trunk describes Adsetts precisely so the man who containing the body of the "murdered woman. accompanied the truck to the ship and insisted that it be placed in the hold immediately it was taken aboard. This deposition was con vincing and if the guilt of Adsells was doubled by any, that he was at least the man who delivered the trunk on board the Moxie seems certain.

Detective Sullivan, in speaking of the crime, said it was one of the most cold-blooded ever committed in Hongkong by a whiteman. He was present when the trunk was opened and describ. ed the position of the body when found. It was jammed in the trunk, lying on the head peshed back almost under the back, the katea drawn up to the chin. The murder was committed by wrangling the woman with her own waisi band, the murderer using a hair-brush as o bind. This was still around the woman's tourniquet to make stronger the pressure of the neck when the body was found.

The case did not start yesterday until after eleven o'clock as the court preferred to wait until the arrival of the Hongkong witnesses, who were at the time court opened on board the fit in the bay. As soon as they arrived Detective Sullivan was put on the witness stand and identified 17 depositions, among which were the statement of the quartermaster of the Monteagle who received the trunk, the Chinese coolies who carried it from the hotel in the ship, the merchant from whom a trunk had been purchased, but which afterwards evidently proved too small. The new trunk was found in the 100m bedaubed with blood showing that the murderer, had first tried to jam the body in it, and failing in this he had emptied one of the murdered win's own trunks, which was extra large, and had used this instead of the new one..
