The second prisoner elected to make a statement. He said that he did not live at the address which was raided but had, for. nearly 20 years, lived at No. 4, Sai Woo Street, first floor. Ae cidentally he met an old friend who recommended him to go to Lim Kwong's place, saying,. "You are an old man now, and have nothing to do, as you might help Lim Kwong a little. It is botter for you to earn two meals than to do nothing."
