In cross-examination, Mr. L. R. Andrewes, Assistant Crown Soliri- tor, asked why accused did not pay some of the bills before he left Hong Kong, and Lilius replied that then he needed what money he had on him for his work. He was going to send for the $1,400, due to him, with which he would have paid the bills.

Lilius said that it would be a lis o say that when Sergt. Whelan took him over from the Police at Singapore he had only 32 on him.' Later accused said that he had nisunderstood Mr. Andrewes. Hel had thought that Mr. Andrewes meant that when arrested by the Singapore Police he had only $2. It might have been so when Sergt. Whelan took him over, because hei had spent a lot of money develop-1 ing films, and on postage whilst in fustody in Singapore,

Asked why he had allowed him- self to be so short when he had $1,400 due to him, Lilius said: Why do I want money? I have free passage and free hoard.

Leg-Pulling

Questioned as to why he had told Mr. Rodrigues, the reception clerk, at Peninsula Hotel that he was going to Macao on the Standard Ol! Co.'s launch as the guest of the Governor of Macao, Lilius said that he was merely "pulling Rodrigues's Jeg."

Lilius also said that be had a good chance of becoming publicity agent for the N.Y.K., which meant free trips all over the world on a comfortable salary.
