Mr. Nihill, opening the case for the Crown, said that the murder took place early on the evening of July 13th on the Erst floor of No. 18, Heung Hing Lare, which was a small side street connecting Queen's Road West with Bonham Strand. The victim of the murder was a young girl of about fourteen years of age anmed Chu Kam-hei, who was the adept ed daughter, of the prisoner. She had been adopted seven or eight years ago.

On the evening in question the girt died from the effects of a stab wound in her right thigh and medical evidence would be produced to show that the cause of death was hemorrhage due to the wound in the thigh, which was about one and a balf inches wide and three and a hall inches deep.

When the hearing was resumed in the afternoon, a Chinese policeman stated in evidence that when he first arrived on the floor, the prisoner was pale and looked frightened. She did not seem to be under the influence of drink. When witness and another Chinese policeman. took her to the station, she refused to walk, and almost to be carried there. He ascribed her refusal to walk to fear rather than drink.

1. Mr. Nihill said the Crown would seek to show that the women in the dock committed the assault. In murder cases the actual act of killing was usually done in secret. Only on rare occasions was un eye witness present and the prosecution usually had to infer what actually occur- Cross-examined by Mr. Fitzroy, the red at the time of the killing. The witness said that he did not telephone present case was, an exception because for au ambulance immediately on being there was an eye-witness to the whole called to the house," because his instruc affair-a little girl of nine years of age tions in each cases were to see the wound- who was another adopted daughter.

Another Chinese policeman, "giving evidence, stated that when he got to the scene, the defendant had already been placed under arrest by the previous wit- ness. About two fees from where the de- ceased was lying, witness saw a pair of trousers (produced in Court). They had a gash in them and were wet. There was water and blood on the floor.

In the house with the woman were two other children of the same name but there was no relationship between them, They had been adopted it different times but called themselves brother and sisters.
