THE 1940 COMMANDER

General Electric Radios for 1940 embody enhanced ear and eye values afforded by larger and more beautiful cabinets, definitely greater audio output, widely expanded tone range,

extra sensitivity and selectivity, stability of performance, and the new Alnico-magnet "DYNAPOWER" speaker- all important values to you in selecting your radio.

TROPIC-PROOF CONSTRUCTION

Reliability for continuous, full- power, and long-life perform- ance under the most severe climatic conditions, is another great General Electric engineer- ing triumph. The 1940 Tropic- Proof models are the result of several years' testing in General

Electric's "Humidity Cham- ber," which subjects parts and complete receivers to humidity and temperature & conditions more severe than the worst of the TROPICS. Result-full measure of reliability to your benefit and satisfaction.

Dr. Ko Pik Po, who told how the dead woman was admitted at, 9 a.m. to the Queen Mary hospital, said she was suffering from multiple injuries to the face and chopper wounds on the left hand and right wrist. The patient was pale and he administered an injection, but she died soon after.

Two years ago, the other members of the family came to Hong Kong and all lived at No. 9, Des Vouex Road West.

On July 13, in a conversation be- tween the husband and the eldest danghter, who asked that a doctor be❘ sent for her mother, the husband re- plied that she had better take the medicine which had been prepared.

When accused heard this, she re- marked that Kan apparently pre- ferred to spend his money on his concubine.

CRIES IN the nighT Accused slept in a cubicle with her son, aged 10, and a daughter, aged 7. The husband did not sleep in the flat on the night of July 12-13, as he was accustomed to sleep in the shop at times.

About 4 a.m. that morning, the occupants of the house were aroused by cries of "Save Life" The mother- in-law got up and

Tin Fat-yan, the mother in 'law, corroborated the outline of Mr. Gould.

In answer to Mr. Anderson, she said accused appeared pleased about the pregnancy of deceased. It would be a welcome addition to the family. Accused had been sick for the last three years and since wit- ness's arrival in Hong Kong, in April, had been confined to bed most of the time. She had a slow shuffling gait. Accused was of a meek disposition and witness had seen her on several occasions turn her, face to a wall and something nobody could
