certain dispositions had been made ontered with him. The next
morning at the Kowloon Mortuary in the presence of Dr. Smalley
I identified the dead bodies, which I had seen in the Station the
night before, of Mrs. Madgwick, P.C.B.543 and P.C.B.9.
After dark that night I saw no light what over in the Station.

conversation with Serɛt. Medgwick. He believed that the worst
had happened to Mrs. Madgwick. It was about 8 p.m. that the
party under the A.S.2. and myself got up to the Station. It was
the A.S.P. who decided then to wait for the Thompson gun, but
