1.- Tang Tsing-Sz
2.- Tang I-Shek
3.- Tang A Vin
4.- Tang Chik-Ting
The description of these men who are all natives of Lok Fun in the Un Long Division of the San On District is as follows.
No. 1.- About 40 years of age, clean shaved, tall and slender built.
No. 2.- About 50 years of age, wears moustache, tall and medium built.
No. 3.- No description to hand at present but I can get a man to point him out.
No. 4.- About 40 years of age, tall, clean shaved, spare built.
I have trustworthy information that Nos. 1 and ... whose instigation the crime was committed are at the present time in Nam Tau City in the San On District and that the 3rd and 4th move about between Nam Tau City, Sa Tau and Sham Chun all of which are in the San On District.
I can produce men who will undertake to lead any Chinese soldiers who may be sent to arrest them to where they are.
