RIVAL CLAIMANT GIVES EVIDENCE
Investigation of the $30,000 Derby sweep ticket dispute was continued before the Executive Committee of the South China. Athletic Association yesterday even- ing. Mr. H. K. Lo, who is assisting the Committee in a legal capacity, announced they will sit from 5.80 to 3 o'clock to-night, and if neces sary would sit the same time on Tuesday next. in order to conclude all the evidence."
The investigation concerns the rival claims of Mr. Wong Yu, of the Lef Man Hin Kok Knitting Factory, Yaumati, and of the Sun Sun Company, of 22 Des Voeux Road Central. The former is ré- presented by Mr. H. L. Dennys, and the latter by Mr. F. G. E. Rendall.
Mr. Ma Wai-san, in evidence, said he handed a book of 10 tickets to Mr. Wong Yu. At nearly the end of the year, the book was given back to witness and he saw some of the counterfolls.
Mr. Mooi Po-fos, manager of the Kwong Hing Cheung firm of com- mission agents, deposed to having received advice by letter from his cousin in Colombo to buy, four tickets. Mr. Wong Yu brought the tickets but he would not purchase them 'ns there were no counterfoils. He attached great importance to counterfoils.
}
Rival Claimant's Evidence: The rival claimant, Mr. Sin Wai- sin, manager of the Sun Sun Com- pany, foreign goods dealers, Des Voeux Road, said he had knowi Mr. Wong Yu for several years. He bought tickets from him at Last every S. C. A. A. sweep. year he asked him (witness) › to help him to dispose of some tickets. Witness took four but being busy, forgot to sell them. When Mr. Wong came to collect the money he told him what had happened and agreed to buy one then. The ticket was taken by the accountant whom he instructed to pay. Later fokis! took shares in the ticket sa, as the! money could be repaid to the firm. The ticket was lost for a consider- able time.
After he had been interrogated by a representative of the South China Athletic Association, witness met Mr. Wong Yu and told him that the ticket had drawn a prize. Mr. Tong denied having cold the ticket, and witness retorted with the words, "A fact is a fact, and the fact that you sold me the ticket cannot be denied.
Are you quite sure you bought this ticket from Mr. Wong Yu-I am quite sure. There is not the slightest doubt.
Did you keep a record of the number of the ticket?-No.
Whenever you bought tickets did you always see that your name was on the counterfoil?-As a matter
of fact, I treat the question of buying a sweep ticket, as a very small matter. Sometimes I find an interest and I buy a ticket, and sometimes I share the ticket with others. I do not attach very great importance.
But the name of your firm was on the counterfoil of this ticket?--- At that time I told my accountant to take one ticket but I did not, see whether the name of the Company was written on the counterfoil or not.
Before the enquiry adjourned Mr. Rendall announced he had two other witnesses to call
Official's Statement.
After the meeting an official stated that he had heard that the missing ticket was in the posses- sion of a third party. If this were so, the official requested that the holder come forward and present the ticket to the Association.
