The killing of a contractor's fore- man by cutting his head with an axe was alleged to have been committed by Lo Kau at the Criminal Scasions this morning, when he stood trial for the murder of Chung Ming, before the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl Mac- Oregor.
Lo pleads not guilty, and is being defended by Mr. T. F. Lo, instructed by Mr, C. Y. Kwan, Mr, J, P. Murphy, Assistant-Crown Solicitor, is for the prosecution...
Jury members are: Messrs. T, F4] Stainton
Yeung (Forenau), Au Kimin, A. Butt, Forig' Iu-ping, E. V. M. B. de Souza, Chung Wal-lan and G. S. Ludd,

On April 1, when Chung Chung- chau visited the place, the deceased complained to him that Lo was lazy and refused to do what he was told. Accordingly, Lo was dismissed, but he remained in the house until 11 sm, on April 3, when, it is alleged, he committed the murder.
