Mr Lau chu Pak:-

Now look here, it is no good your talking about it like that. I have some Chinese witnesses who saw you collect

the money,

and who you told you were collecting the money to give to Inspector Hudson.

If you dont tell the truth, you will get into serious

trouble.

I am telling the truth.

A.

I dont know about it. If you chop my head off, I dont

know about it.

Well, it is no good your talking about it like that. 8443 They saw what you were doing, and that you had a paper

in your hand, when you were collecting the money.

I did not do it. I did not see the money. If you can find out, then decapitate me.

Well, we wont decapitate you, but you will get into 8944 gaol, and you will be banished from Hongkong, and that will be a good deal worse,

A.

I am telling the truth. I dont know about it really.

Q.

A.

I know you are very much afraid of Mr Hudson. You think

if you tell, you will get into trouble. I can tell you that you have more reason to be afraid of this Commission, and if you dont tell the truth, you will get into serious trouble,

If I had done it, then I dare to speak about it.
