Q.

And you kept an account in your mind of them?

100

A.

Yea.

Q.

Why did not you run after them instead of running up Wardley

St.?

A.

Because those who ran to the right and to the left had been running so fast I could not catch them, I saw those ahead and I thought it better to chase these whom I could see.

Q.

Didn't you run up Wardley St. because you knew one of the men running up Wardley St. was the man they wanted to catch?

A.

Yes, My Lord.

4.

You understand the question. I put it to you that the reason you went up Wardley St. was becuase you were intent on catch- ing the man who ran up Wardley St.?

A.

That was not my intention. I do not mean that one of them had done wrong. I ran up because I had lost sight of the others who had gone to the right and to the left of the tram line, and I then chased those.

You susbequently found that man in the dock being held by an European?

A.

That is 80.

Can you

Was he one of the men you had seen running in the Square?

lou Bay?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Was he the man who was running alone or not?

A.

That I cannot say. I do not know whether this man was the

man alone.

He was one of the men you saw?

A.

Yes.

Q.

A.

You are quite sure of that, he was one of the men you saw? Yes.

I saw the prisoner he was one of those men running in the Square and he had been running.

Q.

If he was one of the men in the Square and the man who after- wards was caught, why cannot you..say he was the man you saw

running alone or not? Was he one of the men you saw running Before I got to the tram line I cannot say whether he was one

A.

of the men running in the Square.

You did say so ?
