SEQUEL TO LAD'S DEATH

At the Kowloon Magistracy to-day before Mr.. Whyte-Smith, two Chinese were charged with assaulting a com patriot at Hunghom.

Divisional Inspector Stimson said that the complainant would be in hos-i pital for three or four days more. On December 17 a boy died, and on the 24th his elder brother went to the Hunghom Police Station and reported that somebody had killed him. An hour later, he secured the complainant of killing the boy, and thereupon, it was alleged, hired the two accused to assault him. This they were alleged to have done, hitting the man severely Jon the head with a hammner.

Inspector Stimson added that later a (a) The Song of the "Hula" Girl; report the boy's death came in, (b) Dance of the Betrothal Care-which certified that he had died from
