It's the turnover that counts!
SIR CHARLES STARMER recently stated at the Publicity Club of Glasgow, that advertis. ing is the necessary fertiliser to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before.
Sir Charies might have taken the argument to a more logical climax.

ECHO OF A BRUTAL ATTACK.
CHINESE CHARGED WITH ROBBERY & ASSAULT.
CHOPPER INJURIES.
An echo of the brutal attack made with a chopper on Mr. Wong Lai-woo, accountant at the Chinese branch office of the China Navigation Company at No. 3, Des Voeux Road West, in the early hours of the morning of April 21st Inst, when he was found on his camp-bed with severe injuries, and a safe rifled of $9,833, which was Juter recovered, fully intact in envelopes, left behind by an apparently frightened assailant, was heard in the Central Magis- when there tracy yesterday,
Lindsell. appeared before Mr. Chung Wing, an employee of the Company, charged with' (a), rob- hing a safe of 39,833, and at the same time, making a murderous assault on Wong Lai-woo, at No. 3, Des Voeux Road West, on April 21, and (b), with causing grievous bodily harm to Wong Lai-woo, on the sume date.
The prosecution was conducted by Inspector Shannon, who, in out- lining the facts of the case, said that it was one of robbery and as- sault and causing grievous bodily harm.
About 3.15 3.m. on April 21st last, a number of police were in the vicinity of No. 3 Des Voeux Road, when they heard shouts of "gave life". The first man to enter the house was a Shantung constable, and he went up to the first floor,
the and found
door leading straight into the first floor was lock- ed. He was admitted by a foki on the premises, who had also been awakened by the shouts and to- gether they went in the office on the first floor, in the front of which they found the complainant lying on a camp-bed, severely injured and bleeding from several wounds. A couple of Indian police came in and they kept watch on the floor. No one was seen to leave the premises and a message was sent to the Central Police Station about 3.50 a.m. Sergi. Maedunaki arrived on the scene ten minutes later. By that time the wounded man had been removed to hospital. He (In- spector Shannon) arrived and was handed a chopper by Sergt. Mac- donald, which he had found on the table by the camp-bed. There was a considerable amount of blood on the bed and on the floor, and on the floor he also found three envelopes, fying in differunt places, together envelopes with a safe-key. The contained money and the key fitted the larger of the three safes in the office, and had evidently been taken from it.
He went to the top flour and ar- rived under the resi, but found that emrance to the roof was bolted on the inside, which showed that no one could be on the roof. As he returned to the third floor, Sergt. Macdonald called out, and he went to the second floor verandah in Des Voeux Rond, where were pointed out to him a number of envelopes lying between the signboard and the verandah railing. He found they contained money, and he took them down to the Srat floor, where he counted it and found it to be a sum of $9,833.73, whicit was the exact aunt missing from one of the safes. The envelopes had evidently been dropped by the assailant, who- ever he was. In the course of sub- sequent enquiries, he decided that it was an "inside" job.
Finger Prints,
About 7 a.m. he sent to the Cen- Aral Police Station seven servants mployed by the Company, includ- ing the defendant and his uncle. As a result of Binger prints taken, he returned to the shop and took the finger prints of ten others, and in fact of all the persons' present except the Secretary, who was an
old man.

Was.
At 1 o'clock the same day he took them up to Inspector Vincent and alled back for them about an hour later, when the Inspector said de- finitely that 16 out of the 17 were to the finger prints It similar ind on the envelopes, although He gave D- definite minion as to the 17th finger print, but it happened to be the defeu- dant's. Inspector Vincent said that he would make another examination, and later he said there were certain points similar to the blood-stained print on the envelope and that of the defendant's. He was prepared to say that he was satisfied on those points, but the print was not suf- ficiently good to enable an enlarge- ment to be made with which he could show these points either to His Worship or to him (Inspector Shannon).
Looked Like Accused. To go back again to the previous day, the 21st, as a result of en- quiries he ascertained all the par- sons employed by the Company who either slept in or out of the pre- mises, and detained the defendant, alarm Was because, when the raised, with everyone running hither and thither, the majority went down to the first floor, but the defendant appeared to have stayed in bed. He also found in the course of enquiries that.a little boy. woke up and saw an indistinct form running upstairs. He did not see (Continued on Page 10.)
