They passed as man and wife under the name of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Jones and stayed at the Hongkong Hotel. On August 4th, Adsetts took a trunk on board the S.S. \"Monteagle\" and asked the Quarter Master to put it in the Baggage Room saying he had booked a passage and would follow later. The man did not return, but took passage on another vessel for Shanghai.

On being opened it was found to contain the body of a European woman. The body was buried, but later exhumed and identified by a friend of Gertrude Dayton's as being the remains of that woman. In the trunk were found 2 towels marked 'Hongkong Hotel'; in short the circumstantial evidence seemed conclusively to point to the guilt of the man Adsetts.\n\nThis Government thereupon communicated with the Police at Shanghai and elsewhere, and offered a reward of $500 for his apprehension. Adsetts was a powerful man, an ex-pugilist, and his arrest at Chefoo was effected not without difficulty by a constable of the British Consulate and an American prize-fighter to whom the reward has been disbursed. They effected the arrest on August 13th on the warrant of the American Consul-General there.\n\nAs the only gaol in Chefoo is at the British Consulate Adsetts was confined there, but escaped a few hours afterwards. He was recaptured and again confined in the British Consular Gaol. Later it was deemed advisable to place him on board the United States Cruiser \"Galveston\" then in harbour.

Meanwhile this Government applied for his extradition offering to send all necessary documents and evidence, but Consul-General Fowler declined pending advices from Washington. On August 17th, Consul Brady wrote that the prisoner was still on board the \"Galveston\" but that the American Consul-General had informed him that that vessel was proceeding at once on a month's cruise, and it would be necessary to again land him, and place him in the British Consular Gaol.

Adsetts at the Supreme Court in the month of October, 1907, the space by the Judges' Bench was crowded and in attempting to gain access to it through the Small Court door I was roughly pushed back by Constable Taylor. I resented such an action as I was specially sent for by the Hon. Attorney-General and in consequence a few hot words passed between us.\n\n## \n\nApart from this unfortunate incident I have had no further trouble with him and I do not recollect having met him since the above incident.\n\n## \n\nI further beg leave to be permitted to say that if I had been in the condition alleged by him it was his duty to charge me then and there, or, to report the occurrence to his or my immediate superior at the time instead of bringing such a charge against me after a period of eighteen months.\n\n## \n\nAs to the 2nd charge I sincerely regret that owing to the long-standing friction with my wife, who came back to the Colony about two months ago, I gave way to intemperance and I would ask for His Excellency's clemency seeing that I have taken a pledge to abstain from all alcohol and if any charge of intemperance is ever again made against me by the Head of my Department or by any responsible officer I am aware of the consequence.\n\n## \n\nI pray that it may be taken as a point in favour of my application for His Excellency's clemency that I was absent for four days only from my duties. That I returned to duty on the 15th ultimo and have since continued to diligently and efficiently perform the duties of Clerk to the Hon. Attorney-General which duties I have faithfully performed for the period of about nine years.\n\nI have etc.,\n**(Sd.) P. Law**\n\nThe Hon.
