RECP Rec? 28 JUN 09

I attach a statement by Inspector Murison

(he was a Sergeant at the time). Paras. 1, 2 & 3. It is agreed that Gulab bore an excellent character in the Force up to the time of this occurrence. He

would not otherwise have attained the rank of Jemadar.

Para. 6.

It is absurd to suppose that Sergeants Terrett and Murison (two of the best and "straightest" Officere that ever served in this Force) would join a conspiracy of the

kind suggested.

Para. 8.

I dont see that this evidence, if true,

helps the defence to any appreciable extent. It is not alleged that Gulab and the lukon were together for more than a very

short time.

This is rubbish. Tun (not Tung) Wo lane is

a tiny lane (not marked in the plan of the City) which leads off that part of Cochrane Street which lies between Lyndhurst Terrace and Hollywood Road. It runs parallel with Lyndhurst Terrace at first and then turns a right angle and comes out at

Terrace 22, Lyndhurst Terrace. The Lyndhurst end of the lane, where the offence was committed, is in pitch darkness at night, and just the place one would expect to be selected for the purpose

alleged.

Para. 13.

I was in England at the time and Captain Lyons and Mr. Wodehouse are both absent at present, so I cannot report on the assertions made in this paragraph. I notice however that the statement of admission, which is in Mr. Wodem -house's writing but signed by Gulab, is dated 24th. January, 1908. Mr. Wodehouse will be back in about a fortnight and will doubtless be able to clear it up. P.S. Terrett is also at home on leave, and is not due back for many months. But there cannot be the slightest doubt about Gulab's guilt, and I should think the evidence of the lukong and Inspector Murison would be enough

to convict him, even without Sergeant Terrett's evidence.

19th. April, 1909.
