A BOAT TRAGEDY.

OLD MAN DONE TO DEATH.,

FINISHING HIM OFF."

The tale of a tragedy which occurred recently among the boat- people at Aberdeen was related to the Jury at the Criminal Sessions this morning when three Chinese- an old woman, a girl and a young man-were charged with murder. They were defended by Mr. T. N. Chau, instructed by Mr. F. E. Nash.

woman.

Presenting the Crown case the Attorney General (the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp KC) said the prisoners were charged with having murdered an old nan at Aberdeen. It was a peculiarly tragic murder, although a very brutal one, the Attorney General indicated, but he thought one could not help suspecting that there might have been something which, to the more or less simple minds of these boatpeople, seemed to them to be sufficient reason for the violence done. The okl woman and the murdered man had been living together as man and wife, Mr. Koup explained, and the girl was either the daughter or the adopted daughter of the old

On the day of the murder, according to the Attorney Gener- al's brief maline of the facts, cries of "Save Life" reached the ears of i a gardener who was outside his matshed at Aberdeen and, looking across the channel which separates. Hongkong froin the island of Applichuan, he saw a man struggling in the water and a hont rowing away towards Deepwater Bay, While he was rowing out to the man's rescite he saw the boat which had gone off towards Deep- water Bay turn back. It came up to the spot where the man was still struggling and the gardener saw two people flirusting down, one with an oar and the other with a pole. The man in the water cried out "Save Life" once more. and then disappeared. Apparent- ly, as the Attorney General sag- gested, they had come back to "finish the old man'off." Later the occupants of the hont, who turned out to be the three prison- ers, were arrested and to the police they gave various explanations of the affair. The man said that the old woman asked him to help kill the old man as "if not she would have no life." The Attorney Gen- eral took this to mean that, the old woman felt that if the old man was not done away with life would not | be worth living.
