My name is Sylvester Gaston and I am also known

"Robert". I live at Major Bay with my sister, Julita

Gaston and her boyfriend, Vancito Pickering. I arrived ́

in the British Virgin Islands in September 1976 and I

have stayed with my sister ever since. I know Miss

Evelyn of Major Bay. She has a shop and a Bar and she

lives in a house next to them. On Wednesdays I go to

her shop to look at television to see "Good Times".

last time I went there was two weeks ago, but I now go

down the road to shoot pool. At about 5.30 p.m. on

Monday, 17th January, 1977, I was on the Major Bay School

yard watching basket ball and Miss Evelyn was standing

at her gate that leads to her shop. She called me by

shouting to me and when I went she asked me if I saw who

last came in the shop about two weeks ago when we were

watching television and I told her that I could not

remember who was the last person. I am now saying that

it was on Thursday, the day after we have looked at

television, that she asked me who was the last person I

saw went into the shop, and not the 17th January, 1977

as I stated above. She told me that she had served someone

and gave the same person change from the bag that had the

missing money, before I had reached to watch television.

She said the only person she believed took the money was

me and I told her I was not crazy enough to do such a

thing.

On Monday, 17th January, 1977 I was again watching

a game of basket ball at the Major Bay Primary School

and Miss Evelyn was standing at her gate leading to her

shop. She called me and I went. She told me in a loud

voice that the money was a mystery to disappear.
