A. Becuase the man was in European Clothing.

That gentleman (Capt. Morgan) has told us he was chasing one Chinaman who was running away and one Chinaman only?

A.

Q+

A.

That is what he said. As soon as I passed Queen's Statue I

saw 6 or 7 men,

One of the men was running apart from the other?

No.

It was this way, on the pavement there were two Chinese

running together a little distance ahead of another Chinese who was followed by an European man. I was on the right

chasing up 4 or 5 men.

Are you sure that the men you were chasing were running in front of the European and not behind him?

Q.

All three men were in front of the European and not behind him.

You told the learned Counsel that when you got to the tram

lines they separated in different directions?

A.

Yes. Only that man who running alone ran up Wardley St.

Q.

A.

The other people you saw went in different directions?

Yes.

And the only one of the Chinamen that you saw in Statue

Square that went up Wardley St. was the man you saw running

alone ?

A.

Ies.

A.

But what about these three who were running in front of him?

They ran up that way.

I thought you said a minute age that the man who ran up

Wardley St. was the man who was running alone?

:

A.

It was not clear. The man who was running alone was the man

I was running behind. Two Chinese ahead of that man alone,

A.

ran up, in addition three other Chinese ran up that way too.

Did they run up before the man who was running alone? Is

that what you meant to say?

The three Chinese whom I was chasing ran up first before the

man who was running alone.
