Mr. D. L. Strellétt conducted the Case for the Crown, and Mr. P. II. Sin appeared on behalf of all de- fendants.
Yesterday's evidnce dealt with the arrest and identification of the second, third and fourth fugitives, as evidenc of identification with regard to the first fugitive had been taken at a previous hearing of the case.
Mr. Strellett, dealing with the arrest of the defendants, first recalled that Yu Lap-ful was
arrested on November 21. On the following day a Chinese detective, Lau Ming, was making enquiries into the case when about: 4,30-p.m. he noticed a Chinese standing at the junction of
of Wonk Nei Chong Road and Leighton H Hond apparently waiting for a bus. The man was the third fugitive, and his behaviour roused the suspicions of the detective. The man carried an attache cake in one hand and parcel in the other.
