Each has subtle differences in the angle of the wings, the width of the opening, the depth of the band... the complete range making it a simple matter to select a dress collar which is an individual expression of correct style,

THANKS JUDGE AND THE JURY,

"The prisoner begs to thank your Lordship and the gentle. men of the jury," said the inter preter at the Criminal Sessions yesterday, shortly after Mr. Justice Wood had told the aceris- ed who was on trial for murder that he was discharged on the verdict of the jury. Accused loft the dock smiling and thank- od defending Counsel and the- Rolleitor instructing him.

Johnson, Stoker & Master.

Strong Accusations. A strong point in the evidence against the prisoner was the state ment of the deceased's wife, who stated that she saw him at the door way at the time of the crime, about five o'clock in the morning. Two other unemployed domestic servants had stated that they slept in the same room with the accused at Ken- nedy Road and saw the latter leave

the room at 3 o'clock and return at dawn.

The acoused, giving evidence from the witness-box, denied that he visited Felix Villas at any time during the night. He admitted that he left his room and visited the yard to estimate the time and then returned to his room. This was at about 6.30 am, and shortly after the police arrived.

Address for Defence. Mr. Leo, d'Almada, making an sloquent address in defence of the prisoner, submitted that not only had the Crown failed to establish a case but they had failed miser ably in their object. He asked the jury, in considering the Crown case, to also bring to bear their ex- perience in life. ̧.· ́

Counsel pointed out that in his outline of the case his learned friend had stated that "a motive carries a jury a very long way," The Crown, he submitted, bad proved no motive beyond suggesting that one fight and a few squabbles, which were common among house servants, had taken place between the netused and the deceased. Could the jury believe that these should have caused a grudge which the accused wild nures for two and a half mon is and then go and

Accused pleaded not guilty, and stated that he met a man named Pun Man whom he befriended. They had tea together and after a while Pun asked him (defendant) to take his little brother to Kowloon City He refused but Pun threaten- ed to kill him so ho agreed.

Sub-Inspector Elston then statedl that when the first defendant was arrested, he admitted having cut the bag and said that he did so because a golfar refused to engaza him. The lads, however, persisted that they had done so accidentally, but Mr. Butters convicted them, res marking that three bags could not have been cut accidentally. He or dared defendants to be given tea strokes each.
