WALKED INTO TRAP- Meanwhile. Woo Was fur, and he joined them a few minutes later.. Accused pro- duced six forged bank-notes and sald he had been selling them for years. Woo said he would purchase two of them and asked how much they would cost. Accused replied $12 for each $50 forged bank-note, and as Woo wanted to buy only" two he produced $24, consisting of two $10 notes, the numbers of which had already been re- corded.
Accused put the money in his pocket and handed in exchange two of the forged bank-notes. In- criminating evidence having been obtained, said Mr. Whyatt, all that was required was for the police to walk in and arrest accused. That was exactly what happened, for Detective C450 and Bergeant W. C. Morrison had been waiting near- by.
When formally charged, accused said he bought the notes from one Chat Koo and handed them to Lam to take and give to Ah To In the On Lok Yuên Cafe.
Evidence corroborating Counsel's outline was then given.
