CUSTODY

Chinese Constable

* Outwitted

A Shantung man named Li Chan King, aged. 50, made his escape from police custody yester- day morning at about 10 o'clock

It appears that the man was being escorted to Hong Kong by Tsun a Chinese constable from -Wan Police Station and was to be tried by the District Officer South in connection with a dangerous drug charge. The constable, took the man to the Yaumat! Ferry and when they both had crossed the harbour the prisoner broke away from his guard although he was handcuffed.

The constable raised the alarm. but despite a diligent search by the police up, to a late hour last night no trace of the missing man was to be found.

The prisoner made his escape on ' the Hong Kong side.

Mr. Jenkin said that the visit of the two men to Clark's house was not denied,bu: what happened in the house was disputed. Clark was supposed to have received $31 after which everything would be Vall right" in Lockhart · Road 'market.

The stall holders were somewhat disturbed by this arrangement and after a consultation they decided to ap- proach accused and. to ask him to revert to the old time for cleaning. REQUEST ACCEDED TO This they did and Clark acced- ed to their request, and they, to show their gratitude, then made a collection from the other stall holders which amounted to $81 and presented it to the accused. The gift was given by Po Teng aliss Po Wo and Yu Lap who went to the accused's house and after entering by the front Way they handed the money to the Inspector which he put into his pocket without looking inside the envelope.

"I think it is a fair inférence.” said Mr. Williams, "that accused, in setting out this order to wash down between 8-9 am., anticipated that he would receive a present. from the stallholders when he relaxed the order. He knew that it would be inconvenient for them

Mr. Jenkin: Does the witness. swear that the Inspector did not mention restrictions unless water was stored for that purpose?

Witness: No
