Prisoners' Statements

In a statement later, the first prisoner sald that he had not been long in Hong Kong. His friends had asked him to go abroad. The second man admitted that he went aboard the boat with intention to commit a robbery, adding that the third man had asked him to go. He told Wong Ping (the third prisoner), that he had no knife, whereupon Wong Ping told him not to fear, as "they were only. women on the boat."

Wong Ping, in turn, accused Li Nam (the fourth man), of suggesting the robbery. He said that the old woman and the girl would testify that he had not touched them.

Li Nam atated that his friend, the second prisoner was going abroad. He did not go on the boat with the intention of committing a felony.
