INVASION
WOMAN CHARGED DANGERS
WITH MURDER
The Court of the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, was this morning filled to overflowing, the occasion being the trial of Kwan Lai-chun, 31-year-old married woman, who is charged with the murder of Lam Lin-kwai, con- cubine, one of three persons whom she is alleged to have killed.
Long: before the case was due to start, the Court was packed, and so great was the rush that the doors leading to the corridors had to be closed and many late-comers ejected.
