Now, Mr Chan, I sent for you some little time ago. I

want to ask you some questions about your books. We

now have your books. We had a good deal f trouble in

getting your books.

To, you sent down and got them.

20983

Yes, I had already sent the Secretary of the Commission

and a policaman to your office. We could not get the

books, although they made a search of several hours.

It was only by sending you back tɔ your office with a

detective that I got the books. Now, I want you to

distinctly understand that you must tell the truth when

you come into this roud, that if you dont tell the

truth when you come to this room you will go away with

a detective, and you wont go back to your house.

Now, Mr Chan, you must understand there is nothing for

you to be afraid of, as long as you tell the truth, and

tell us exactly what those entries in that book

(indicating) mean. Now, I know what the truth is, and I

shall be able to tell exactly if you are not telling

the truth. Now, you think very seriously. I dont want

to frighten you, but I want you to understand that if

you do not tell the truth to this Commission, you will

find yourself in a very unfortunate position.

Is this (indicating) your book ?
