On Zimmern's suggestion, the four us went to the World Theatre to see William Haines In "Man's Man", then being screened, at 2.30 p.m. We left the theatre at 3.10 or 3.80, the reason being that Mr. Cheng did not like the picture. We returned to the Tungshan Hotel. There Cheng said he did not like the name of May an it sounded like Fay, so we changed the girl's name to Mary Hyder. I don't recollect which of us made the change. At 4 or 4.30 I left the Hotel with the girl and crossed over to Kowloon.
That night I returned to long- kong, this being about 9.15 p.m. Having frst waited outaldo the King'a Theatre on the chance of meeting Zimmern. I went back to nur room at the Tungahan Hotel and slept there that night.

On the morning of the 27th, 1 rang up Mr. Cheng in his house at 60 Village Road, by which time had known that George Fang was dead. I made an appointment with him to meet outside the Queen's Theatre at 2 p.m. the next day.
I met Cheng at the appointed time and place the next day, and we went into the Canadian Confer tionery, which is in Queen's Road, opposite the Queen's Theatre. Cheng had with him a man named Yuen, and had brought Souza along.
Movements Noted.
The four of us then went to the Empress Hotel where Mr. Cheng booked a room in the name of Yuen. A few minutes after we got there,
Yuen left. Cheng sent Souza out of the room and spoko to me. I asked him "Did you kill George Fung"; and he replied, "No, did not." After that he Hald: "I must have Zimmern's evidence ne to where I was on the night of the 24th." He wrote on a piece of paper in English.
