prisoner was about seven inches long in the blade. It was similar to those worn on a belt by Manilemen. It was sheathed at prisoner's belt. The surgeon afterwards took it.
After prisoner had been taken into custody, I saw In Hopkins att and went on board the ship. I shortly afterwards attended Mr. Boteins. Prisoner was perfectly sober when he stabbed In Soptanis.
Mr Hopkins appeared very weak from loss of blood when I returned from Seeking Mr Ramsay. I saw that a sheet had been torn up, and Mott's side had been bandaged. I believe that these bandages, with the clothes which Mott wore when he was stabbed were, with the exception of a flannel waistcoat, washed, or thrown overboard.
From the 27th of October, at about 5 minutes past 7 p.m. He only spoke to me of prisoner after he had been wounded. He then expressed hope that prisoner was in safe custody.
I examined the knife with which prisoner stabbed trust. It was very sharp, and was two-edged, about half an inch thick from the point to the handle. Its point appeared to have entered Mott's body about two inches. Prisoner's hands were bloody. I did not hear prisoner speak either at the time of stabbing or afterwards. Frost was sober when he was stabbed.
