Further evidence.
Au Huen 3rd witness - recalled:·
"I an absolutely certain that, when the Station Guard ran in
through the compound, he had nothing in either hand. I could
see his revolver in his holster. I can't gave any particular
reason why I noticed the revolver. I am again absolutely certain
that the "murderer" went up the right hand steps and in at the
back door and then turned left towards the inner staircase.
He did not go up the outer stairway. I did not see the Station
Guard fire a single shot at him as he crossed the compound. Had
he so fired I must have seen it. Between 4 & 4.35 p.m. that day
I was sitting in the kitchen, and for the next † hour was in
and out of that room. About 4.30 p.m. I went into the dining
room of the officer in Charge. At that time no machine gun was
in the passage on 1st floor. It could have been brought up
there in the † hour following without my seeing it. I am quite
certain that only 5 shots were fired outside before the
"murderer" ran into the compound, and those shots were fired at
short intervals, not one immediately after the other.
Had the Station guard fired 6 rounds from his revolver one after
the other I must have heard them, but I heard no such shots.
After he ran in through the back door I did not catch sight of
him again.
To Jury X X "I saw no one close the back door. After I had
hidden myself, I heard the telephone in the Charge Room ring
some 5 times. The first time I heard it was about an hour after
the first shooting. I heard the voice of the I.L.S. twice
what I took to be the telephone, but heard him say nothing
in Cantonese except "Call the interpreter: I'm the interpreter."
