- The Evidence, » Chinese constable C589 then gave evidence to the effect that
he arrested the fugitive in Re- clamation Street on the latter be ing polated out by an informer.
Cross-examined by Mr. J. d'Almada Remedios, on behalf of the fugitive, witness said that the fugitlye was particularly pointed out to him from a number of other pedestrians who were quite close to the fugitive.
Chief Detective-Inspector. Rey- noids gave evidence of having formally arrested the fugitive at the Central Police Station on the authority of a warrant which he produced.
Lum Wan-tin (30). a spinster, at present living at the Fook Lec Boarding House on the central waterfront, stated that she was one of the Lam clan who lived in' the ancestral,village of that name in the Shuntak district.
She had been living with her brother Lam Cham before he met his death in the incident in ques
tion.
Incident Described. Describing the incident, she said that this took place at 6 p.m. on May 23, in their native village, Lam Cham had been to the chief ancestral joss-house on business connected with the ancestral funds, and when he came away he brought with him $200 in twenty-cent pieces.
"As we were returning home,
Lam Tong, the fugitive, appeared
from the opposite direction with Lam Shum. As both men came near, they drew revolvers, and
shot my brother. Prior to this,
Lam Toug snatched the money which my brother had wrapped up in a newspaper and was holding it under his arm. He and the other man ran away,"
Witness, continuing, said ahe ran away, but before this, she had time to notice that another inhabi tant of the village, to whom she referred as Lam Yin, was also shot dead by the assailants.
Questioned by the Magistrate, witness said she had known the fugitive for 20 years. The money that was stolen was part of the ancestral funds of which her bro ther had charge. He took the $200 away from the temple to keep it at home.
The transference of the money was common knowledge to the people of the village. There had been no dispute of any kind be tween her brother and the fugitive, they had been quite friendly, and she could only attribute robbery as the motive.
Cross-examination.
In a series of questions to wit nesa, Mr. Remedios suggested that there had been a split in the Lam Kwong Yuen Tong, the village body having charge of the ad ministration of ancestral funds, and that that quarrel, seven years ago, had led to considerable blood- shed and the loss of lives. "Ho

The signalman who gave direc tions to the man on the crane said that he also gave warnings to the workmen in the event of danger. On the day in question he had signalled to the deceased to movo away from under the ascending load.
Warning Given.
Mr. D. L. Keith, Superintendent Shipwright of the Kowloon Docks said that he visited the scene of the accident two hours before it had occurred and, seeing several workmen walking under the as- cending load, gave the foreman directions to warn the coulies.
