Li Choi states:- I am servant-boy to Sergeants
Pain and Clark at No. 7 Police Station. About 4 p.m. on the 21st October, 1919, I was standing on the verandah outside the Europeans cook-house on the 1st, floor, when I saw the late A.L.S. A.47 Robertson cross the compound and up the flight of steps leading to the lavatory. He had his right hand in his trousers pocket, he was dressed in a white singlet and blue uniform trousers. In about 10 or 15 minutes after while I was in the cook-house talking to the other servant-boys, I heard a sharp sound like the report of a gun being fired in the direction of the Indian and Chinese quarters (next to the lavatory). I went to the verandah and looked round but could not see anything.
I asked the Chinese barber who was then coming out from the 0.0. Quarters that the noise waɛ. He remarked "I do not know". I then thought that it might have been something that had fallen.
