Later, accused said that he did not have any Central bank notes with him on this occasion but on a previous visit to Shanghai when his mission was to buy flash lights, he found out that Central bank notes were not accepted by mer chants in Shanghai.

Counsel submitted that accused, being a member of the intelligenco ops, must have known that the cars had been stolen by the soldiers of General Chang Hiu-chen.
