STATEMENT OF GEORGE SIM :-

12229

Reck

(Rec 24 FEB 19

I am an Inspectoris the Hongkong Police Force.

I have had Twenty-one years service in the Hongkong

Police Force.

On the 10 th, of November 1918 I went to the Public

Mortuary about mid-day in connection with the Pennington Street

murder.

From the Public Mortuary I went to the No. 7 Police

Station.

Club.

From No. 7 Police Station I went to the Police Recreation

From the time I left the Police Recreation Club my memory

is very hazy, but to the best of my recollection I went back

to No. 2 Police Station for the purpose of taking the statement of Chan Sz Mui a witness in the Pennington Street murder case.

As there were a number of people in the Charge Room I had her

sent up to the Chinese Mess Room on the first floor,

A little later I went up to the Chinese Mess Room for the

purpose of taking Chan Sz Mul's statement expecting to find the

Chinese Interpreter there, but I found he was not there.

I sat down in a chair and the woman came up and made

advances' to me. She raised no objection to me.

There are two doors in the Chinese Mess Room one leading

to the European Quarter and the other to the Indians Quarters.

Had there been any struggling or calling out, the Europeans

and the Indians would have heard.

On the 11th, November 1918 I went to see Mr. Joseph of

Shanghai at the Astor House Hotel about some stolen property.

When I left Mr. Joseph I had some food at the Hotel with a

friend. Whilst we were there a Frenchman came in and showed us

a telegram about the Armistice. The people commenced to stand

drinks all round. I remember nothing further.

My motherm, uncle and sister all died insane.
