John O'Donovan, A.S.I.,sworn, ds:- On 17th July in the
afternoon I collected a number of straw hats four hats
representing three types. I showed them to Mrs. Fairburn.
She picked out this exhibit 5 as being the type of hat worn
by the man whom she saw climbing the railings on the nullah
bridge on the day of the tragedy. On 21st July at 9.30 a.m.
in Central I showed the same hats to Wong Shu Kat. He also
picked out Ex.5 as being the sort of hat worn by Deft. on
22nd June. On that day 21/7 later, at 10 a.m., I showed the
hats to Mary fine. She picked out the same hat Ex.5 as like
the one worn by the man who threw her into the nullah. I saw
accused in hospital
visiting it on the night of 22nd and
the morning of the 23rd June. On the 23rd seeing the
prisoner in bed I asked the Wardmaster for his clothing. I
received Ex.6 together with a pair of dark trousers Ex. IX -
a pair of white under pants and a cotton singlet (last two
not put in.) They have been in my possession since. On 7th
July I saw accused in a cell at Central police station.
Through an interpreter and Det. C.140 I explained he would
be put up for identification in the case of a murder of an
European boy. I told him he could have a solicitor or
No comments yet.
