He told them to row down to "Causeway Bay and put it on's four mailed steamer which was there. This turned out to be the Monteagle. The boatman identited the accused, picking him out from eleven other men without hesitation,
Mr. Morrell, in opening, said the accused stood charged with the wilful marder of one, Gertrude Dayton, on the 4th August, at the Hongkong Hotel. The murder took place under the most revolting and cold-blooded eirenmstances. The body was found packed in a saratoga trunk on the ss. Monteagle in the harbour on August 7th. The story for the prosecution would show the movements of the ace cused from the time he left Manila on or about the 1st of August, until the time he left this Colony on August 5th. The victim of the murder was a woman named Gertrude Dayton, who belonged to the unfortunate claw in Manila. It appeared that the sensed toads her acquaintance some months previous to thecrime, and was acquainted When the Menteule was reached he went on with her for at least two months in Manila, board, and was met by the quartermaster.: Ho On July 31st, or August 1st, the accused left

On the 716, the third day after the ence that amongst others he brought off from the Eastern were two passengers travelling under the names of Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Joues. He took them in Lis launch to the Prays, and from the Prays to the Hongkong Hotel, and there they registered and were given a room-room No. 194. They apparently went up to the room, and nothing extraordinary happened then. They dined at the hotel, and afterwards wont away to a brothel at 52, Hollywood Road, which was commonly known as No. 19. They were there for some considerable time, and the woman ondered niso bottles of wine while she was in the house, and those nine bottles of wine were drank by the mistress of the brothel, the accused and Gertante Dayton, the victim. Mr. Morrell would prove that although they ordered nine bottles they did not absolutely drink nine, but nine belt glasses each. The custom in these houses was that a battle was ordered and glasses provided for as many people as were in the room, which in this instance was three. The wine WRS“ then tipped into the glasses, but as it was fizsing the while they only half filled. The 'sccused and Gertrude Dayton were in this house' till about midnight, and during this time they bed the nine kattlew of wine, which as stated amonated in all to about ains half glasses to each person. The mistress of the boues stated that the woman was the worse for liquor, bat the man was not. The woman introduced the man with ber as Jones, the name under which he registered in the hotel, and tried to borrow money in the house on some Post Offion Orders which would be produced before the Court. There were fourteen orders of $100 gold each. The man wan carrying them at the Lima, mad the woman naked him to produce them to the mistress of the brothel The man produced them and bended them to the woman, who counted them over on her lap. They did not, however, incceed in raising any money on them. Then they isft the house and proeseded to another brothel at
18, Hollywood Road. They were there until
between two and three o'clock in the morning, and there had another two bottles of wine which they occured on the same principle as the wire consumed in No. 12.
