NUMBER
CLUE IN JUNK CASE
..
THE
A JUNK ROBBERY IN EARLY MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 6 OFF THE NINEPIN GROUP HAD A SEQUEL BEFORE MR. JUSTICE R. E. LINDSELL AT THE CRIMINAL SESSIONS THIS MORNING. WHEN ELEVEN MEN WERE CHARGED.
Four pleaded guilty.
The jury was composed of Messrs. Li Chor-chi, U. Gongella, M. A. Gomes, H. Hyndman, F. Lee, Lee Tat-wing and Pan Sha-tang.
Mr. T. J. Gould, for the Crown said a junk owned by Wong Wai-lam, with a travelling trader, Hau Chung, aboard, was passing near the Ninepins when they saw two other junks. As they came nearer, the lights were extinguished and the junks closed in.
A shot was fred and the trading junk stopped. Six men in a, sampan boarded and took a basket containing $1,250 in Chinese Currency and pigs.
11
Wong Wai-lam noticed that the sampan carried the numbers 6 and 8 with another figure obscured.
Next day at Ping Chau, two defen- dants offered pigs for sale. Three men went to the junk where delivery was taken. One pig was brought ashore and roasted on behalf of the robbers.
On the same day, Inspector Cun- ningham and a party of police visited Ping Chau. They found sampan No. 603 and sampan 847, which was re- gistered in the name of one of the accused. A search revealed an empty cartridge and the basket which was taken from the robbed junk. The pigs were later identified, by the
owner.
When arrested, the men gave their residence as sampan No. 608.
Continuing, Mr. Gould said the men were also picked out at an identifica- tion parade.
There would be direct evidence that they took part in the robbery, and if the jury concluded that those in the other junk which stood by, assisted by waiting and offering the others a means of escape, they were equally guilty.
The case is proceeding.
