The hearing was adjourned until this afternoon.
The petition to Hla Excellency the Governor, praying for the com mutation of the death sentence on a Chinese, who at the last Criminal Sessions was found guilty of the murder of a woman, has now been drawn up and circulated to different places locally where It can be signed. The petition is on behalf of Keung Tsze-pan, who was tried for the murder of a woman who had lived with him for some years as his wife and had left him to go to another man. The facts of the case will be fresh in the minds of readers.
Space has been left on the docu
ment for the signatures of Euro- pean and Chinese residents who desire to support the plea for a į commutation of the death sentenco to one of imprisonment. A copy of the petition, available for signa- the ture, hna been placed on counter of the S. C. M. Pont business department.
