THE ALLEGED MURDER.

IN THE HARBOUR.

INTERESTING EVIDENCL

Remanded from yesterday the case in which Charles Smith, Erik Hagman, and William Nason are charged with the murder of a sam pan woman and her daughter, and the attempt ed murder of a boy, the son of the sampan woman, was resumed this afternoon at the Magistracy, before Mr. H. H. J. Gampertz.

A fisherman from Tsum-shi-kok, stated that he remembered the 1st'iast." At 4 o'clock that date he was in a shed making things, when thras "Englishmen came and asked for to bacco to smoke, one of them holding out a cigarette paper. Witness understood what 1.

They did not eat the rice, but made: constituting the shareholders of the Company cigarettes and smoked them. Witness then cook according to the Company's Register of Shareed some fresh rice for himself, and went and un. bolders on the 28th day of February, 1905, at a premium of $10 for each and every single share of such 50,000 new shares in the ratio and pro portion of one new share for every two, old shares in the Company held by the respective Shareholders thereof; the amount payable on each of such new shares respectively (including the said premium of Sro per share) to be paid as to one equal half part thereof on the 31st day of March, 1905, and us to the remainder thereof (including the balance of the said premium) on the 31st June, 1905..

CARGO to Japan entirely free from any sus» picion of contraband is being insured against war risk at about 1 per cent. in first-class steamers. It is quite likely that, as the Baltic- fleet gets further East, the tendency in rates will be to harder. Doubts are expressed whether the fleet will ever reach Far Eastern waters; but, in view of the fact that opinion was fairly united against the probability of its ever leaving Europe, further scepticism might

prove expensive.

He was at a village about a quarter of an hour's walk away. They put a boat in the water, and witness, Chow Fat and another man chased the threenglishmen." Afterchasing them they asked them to exchange boats, and witness returned in the boat they had taken from him, the foreigners going in the boat that chased them. Witness returned alone. He remembered the 4th inst. On that day he was taken to the gaol to see if he could identify any of the foreigners, and picked out two of them. They were now in Court; they were No, 1 and No. 2 accused. They were two of the men who came and took his boat. Witness did not know the difference between an Englishmao, a Frenchiman of a German. He could not recognize No 3.

On looking round among the rocka witness found a piece of wood used as a shelf. for the joss in the sampans. The defendants were charged, on the 5th inst, at the Central Station and witness read over and explained the charges to No. 1, and then read and ex- plained the usual caution, afterwhich No. I made a statement which-witness took down in type, and he signed that statement as correct. That statement was produced.^***

DEFENDANTS' STATEMENTS: It was as follows:-"I deny that I went on. board any sampan in this harbour on the 27th ult. I started out to walk to Canton and met the men Hogman and Nason, whom I. had never seen before and at a village near Ping Shan 1: was arrested. In answer to the second charge of having “murdered Kwok Yit as well as to the third charge of having attempted to murder So I wish to make the same statement as to the first charge."

Later in the day the third accused made his statement. To the first charge he said: "On Sunday the 20th of November last I was going up the Bowen Road to gej a bath in a stream- I met Smith and be suggested that we should engage a sampan on pretence of going to a ship and then tie up the crew and land them and make off with the boat to Singapore. We met Hogman and he agreed to join us, and Smith and I then went to a restaurant and got some refreshments, and Hogman went to the Sailors' Home. That night they went to the whaif near the Ferry and engaged a sampas;: there were five people in it. We bargained with the master who wanted yo cents, but we offered him bo cents. We then went aboard the sam pan and set off telling the master to stay ashore. 1 went forward, and waited near the boy till 1 got a'signal to tie up the boy who was allotted to me. Suddenly I heard a woman cry out and then I seized the boy, but he resisted me;

It would be extremely intéresting to know how many cases of arms and ammunition have been shipped from here into Chinese territory during the last few months. Accord ing to the native press of Canton and Shang-points for, and 12 against. hai rifles are 'continually going into Kwangsi and Kwangtung, and this despite the fact that H.E. the Governor's proclamation prohibit- ing the export, from the Colony or to be carried coastwise within Hongkong, of arms, ammunition, gunpowder, and military and naval stores is still in force.. Indeed, various proclamations have been issued from time to time, and for several years exportation and carriage coastwise of arms and so on have been prohibited. Nevertheless, it is recog nised that China is being gradually armed, and although intimation has been made on behalf of the British Government at home that shipments of arms when made to China are at the risk of the parties concerned, it is understood to mean that no immediate notice will be taken of such consignments. This is certainly strange in view of the stringent measures taken by the Hongkong Govern- It is said to be within the knowledge of Whitehall that large consignments of war inaterial have recently been sent by Con tinental firms to Chinese ports, and it is not overlooked that since the Boxer outbreak the Imperial arsenals have enlarged their scope, and are now able to put together ALEXANDRA BUILDINGS.

It is asserted, that the latest German Govern- ment pattern has been adopted as the model, and there is reason to believe that the neutrality of China has been strictly observed in this respect, that no supplies of small arms have been disposed of to either of the belligerent Powers. At the same time, it is not overlooked by shipping houses that events might occur at any moment to render it expedient for the British Govern ment to detain warlike stores before reaching their destination, and for this reason a care- ful record is believed to be kept of all ship. ments of munitions for the Far East. In thus respect, according to Mr. Bennet Bur- leigh's wire to the Daily Telegraph, the pre- sent political outlook in China is worse. to- day than it was in 1900, prior to the Boxer outbreak. "The widespread operations of the secret societies show a most dangerous recrudescence of the anti-foreign feeling and the agitators are not invariably Chinese, albis satc, with sundry big keys, and it was this though they may pass as such British noise that woke him.
