Groat crowds thronged the Magis tracy, yesterday morning, when Young Ko, was placed in the dock, before Mr. B. E. Lindsell, charged with the murder of Li Sia Fan, at the Woping Theatre on the night of August 10th.

The prisoner, whose clothes were in rags, was stated on the charge sheet to bus years of age of no occupation, and resident at the Kwong Fat Boarding House, 130, Connaught Road Central.

The Magistrate (to Inspector Murphy): Bas any supposed motive come to light for this crime?

"Arrangements have been made with the several commanders of the Kwangai troups by which they are not to inter- vince which will be entirely in the hands of Dr. Ma Chen-wa, the newly appoint ed Governor. Should force be required to put down disturbances of an internal nature, Governor Ma Chun-wu will rely only upon the newly organised police force and not on the troops who are to be under the direct eontrol of the Ministry of War and are only intended for national defence.
