Five prisoners were taken into the Guard house.
A man named A-you, who claimed to be the nephew of U Mashi, had visited her that day, supposedly to pay a visit at her invitation. He stated that he was aroused by men making a great noise in part of the building. He got up but was prevented by two or three men. He went back to his bed, and about the beginning of the 3rd watch (around 11 pm), two or three men came to him, put a bag over his head, and carried him away to a boat. When they put him in the boat, they pulled to the shore, took off the bag, and took him to a place called Hong Kong. He believed he was mistaken for the son of a woman they had robbed.
There were six men in the boat, all armed. The three prisoners remained there for three days at Hong Kong. The 1st and 2nd prisoners demanded $3,000 from him. He told them he had no money and was not the son of U Mashi. They asked him to write a letter, which he refused. The second prisoner then asked them to release him, which they did. They gave him a blanket, put $400 in his possession, and sent him back to Kwai Chow.
If Loung A-you's testimony is to be believed, there can be no doubt of the guilt of the accused. This witness, like all the others, was cross-examined at great length. The defence claimed that this witness was not Loung A-you but a man named A-yut, a well-known thief in China who had been employed by the Chinese Colonel, Li Loi, as an informer.
