~HUNG TAK BANK MURDERS:
MAN'S GRIM BATTLE FOR A CHOPPER.
The hearing of the case in which Li Maa-poo is charged with murder at the Hung Tak Bank on May 23rd, last, when five children were killed in their sleep with a chopper, was resumed before Mr. Lindsell, yesterday afternoon.:
Lan Yik-tin living on the third floor, said that there is a kitchen at the back of the floor. Before ho went to sleep that night there were three choppers in the rack in the kitchen. He was aroused about five o'clock in the morning by cries of "save life." He and his three companions awoke, and two of them went downstairs, while the other remained behind. Looking through an iron grating he saw Fung Sik-chow lying on the floor covered with blood. His companion then went to the roof and shouted out "save life." As soon as the other two went down- stairs, the accused came up and entered the kitchen. Witness saw prisor.er clearly. He followed the prisoner, and saw him take one of the choppers and draw it to and fro across his neck. Witness took the remaining two choppers and laid them aside; then he went up and tried to take the chopper from the hands of the proner. But he said, "brother mine, why did you do that, it is my own busi- ness and has nothing to do with you." The prisoner then dropped! Into a faint. Witness' tried to pull him away, but, not succeeding, took the three choppers and went down the stairs. Immediately. the prisoner regained his feet and chased witness, and caught him by the back of the jacket, and tried to snatch the choppers from his hand.
During the struggle he fell down and the defendant fell on top of him, and attempted to snatch the choppers out of his hand, but witness threw two.down to the second floor through the railings. The third chopper he wedged in between the railings so that the accused could not get it, though he had his hand on it. Eventually witness threw the chopper on to the second floor. He then went down and picked up the three choppers and concealed them.
One of the wounded men beckoned to him to come, and also pointed at another cubicle to in- dicate that there were injured people also there, but he did not go. He heard prisoner coming down the stairs. Accused went to a tea-cupboard and looked in apparently for something, but not finding what he wanted sat down on the floor. The police then arrived.
Witness' shirt was stained with the prisoner's blood.
Father's Evidence.
Ching Tai-chi, father of the two murdered boys, said that he was a partner in the Bank. His two sons, Ching Wing-yuen and Ching Wing-kit, both lived at the Bank They were both found: with their throats cut. He had known prisoner for ten years, but never had any disagreement with him. He had failed to get pri- soner a job at a Bank, and he seemed to be disappointed over it. Witness could not give any motive for the prisoner's attack.
Constable's Story.
A Chinese constable said that, hearing cries from the Bank, he went in and found the body of a man lying on the first floor. On the ground floor he picked up a 'chopper smeared with blood. He also saw another man standing with his hands to his face, On the second floor, he saw the cook, Lan Yik-tin, and pointed his re- volver at him, but he cried out to him to desist, and pointed out the. prisoner lying on the floor near the bed. Prisoner seemed to be very feeble and was covered with blood. He (witness) also saw the bodies of two boys in the cubicle, covered with blood..
Further hearing of the case was fixed for Wednesday afternoon.
