Later in the evening, a Chinese woman, wife of the com- plainant in the case, escorted by a detective, came to No. 7 Station, where she reported her husband was being detained.
Seemed Dejected.
About 8,30 p.m., the same even- ing, in company with the woman. and two detectives, Sergeant O'Donovan went to the flat in Western Street, and in the front. cubicle found the complainant sented in a chair. The first. second and third defendants were present. Complainant appeared to be in a very dejected mood. He told the Police he had gone to. the Roor between 10 and 11 o'clock that morning, and the defendanta would not allow him to leave. woman (fourth defendant), who claimed to be the first defendant's wife, was standing in the passage. The complainant alleged that in the morning she had gone over to his house and told him that the first defendant wanted to see him regarding the return of loan for $500.
Complainant admitted this Joan,
He went with the woman to Western Street, and there be re- mained. The woman went to Lai- chikok Road with a note written by the complainant, and in conse- quence his wife sent her son over to see him. The

When the complainant's wife went to the Police Station, she was very much frightened and ap- pealed for help.

Mr. Lo-Did you ever write a promissory note in his favour?
Witness-Yea, he forced me to write it. I signed the note, but the body of it is not my writing.
Pressed further, witness admit- ted the entire note was written by himself. Ho, denied he had ever left Hongkong during the past three years. He also admitted having gone to No. 16. Western Street, second floor, of his own free will. He could have left the premises if he wanted, but he was afraid to do so. He denied ob- taining "squeeze" from coolies.
