The two new- comers demanded money and when it was not forthcoming, they struck her travelling companions with pieces of wood, rendering them unconscious. The assailants then changed clothes with the un- conscious men, putting on the old clothes of the latter before throw- ing them into the harbour.

Two pieces of iron a foot long each, and 2 inches thick, were tied around them, so that the bodies sank immediately."

The murderers then ransacked the sampan, and from a wooden box belonging to Wong Ching, they "extracted $1,000. In another box the property of Wong Shan, they took $800 and from a cash bòx, be- longing to her, hey stole $420 and three gold rings valued at $30. each.
