Cross-Examination by prosecutor.
.
How long have you been in Special Branch?
A. Since 1938 apart from the Japanese War.
Q.
As an experienced Special Branch officer what would you do if you were to discover K.M.T. Agents in Hong Kong?
A.
Report to my senior officer.
..
Can you give any reason why
YAM
should have made these statements
A.
Sai Ping and
about you if they were not true?
I cannot give any reasons, but the only explanation I can give is that they may want to use my name to cheat their superiors
for money •
Or alternatively, these K.M.T. intelligence agents
may have one or more sources in Special Branch and in order to
protect their sources they allege these things against me, as
a blind.
Q. Why should CHAN, YA and CHEUNG make allegations against you
when no money was involved with them?
A.

They all belong to the same group of intelligence agents and they probably made up the story to cheat their superiors for
financial gain.
Do you know of any other sources the K.M.T. Intelligence Service
may have in Special Branch?
No.
Over the past 5 years have you been responsible for producing
information leading to the arrest of any K.M.T. intelligence
agents in Hong Kong?
No.
Can you give any reason why the K.M.T. Intelligence Service
might have a grudge against you?
I do not think the K.M.T. Intelligence Service has a grudge against me having heard the evidence of the 4 principal witnesses. Their sole intention may be to protect their source in Special
Branch.
Is Mr. X's photograph (Exhibit 'B' shown to accused) a good
likeness?
A. Yes.
•
Why were you so vague about Mr. X when shown his photograph originally by Mr. Gordon?
A. Because Mr. X is not my good friend. My impression of him is
•

very vague.
Is it true that you and Mr. X are from the same native village?
Mr. X is not from my village.
I put it to you you know Mr. X well and that you have been
passing information to him for which you have been receiving
payment?
No.
