AN ILLUSIONIST

is he a clever man ?—No, sir; not a clever man at all (laughter).

And that is why he took you with him?-1 suppose sn (laughter),

Did he amuse the audience?-i don't think so (taughter)

That was the place asisting the Russian at the Camp in conjuring. man would select for such an operation as What was he doing ?-He called himself an lighting his pipe. They found him with a half. illesionist. charged pipe. They all know the habits of men of that class who carried half-charged pipes and lighted them about half a dozen times before re-charging them. In all proba bility the soldier was endeavouring to light bis pipe. There was a match box crushed under his hand and a large number of matches, nol crushed, lying around. The soldier hadn't his pipe in nis hand when he was with the two girls. There was a case of reasonable doubt here, and if there was a reasonable doubt the defendant, as his-Lordship would tell them, was entitled to the benefit. There were se veral points which would lead to a reasonable doubt, and these be would deal with more fully when he had submitted the evidence of the witnesses for the defence.

THE HAR MANAGER'S STORY.

Kenneth Gaskell was the first witness called. He mid he was now proprietor of the Ow! Grillroom. On the 16th July he was manager of the "Hongkong "bar and be remembered that night. The prisoner was there certainly af half past eleven. He said 'good-bye' to witness at closing time, at midnight, He saw prisoner again outside the Hotel." Since the passage of the Hotel bad been closed, they had to go round Pedder Street to reach the Hotel. He saw the defendant with a number of people in Des Voeux Road, He spoke to defendant- that would be about 12.30-aod eventually walked up to Queen's Road, They parted beside the Clock Tower, just at half-past twelve. He did not see the defendant again.

Was he at all under the influence of drink? -Certainly not, so far us I could see,

The Attorney-General-No questions. Leonardo d'Almada e Castro was the next subpoenaed witness. He said he was clerk to Mr. Brutton. On the 16th he had been at a dinner party at Kowloon side with bis family, Blake' Pier was reached between 12.20 and 11.30. Chairs were taken and they went along Queen's Houd and up Battery Path. Near Thomas's Hotel, he saw two rickshas rushing out of Ice House Street from the direction of the sea. They were occupied by two ladies. He recognised one of then as he passed by- Miss Desbien who used to come to his office, being a client of the firm in which he was engaged. He did not know the other. The 'rickshas stopped by the big tree in Ice House Street.

"My chair passed by them and I saw a „soldier hanging on to the splash-board in which

Miss Desbien was seated,

Did you get out?—I had no occasion to. Did you form any impression whether the man was sober or drunk? ['cauld'at swear, but concluded more or less from his attitude that he was drunk.

The torney-General-You are in the office of the solicitor who is conducting the defence?

Yes. I am with Mr. Brutton..

You read the newspapers, don't you ?—Yes. You mean to say you read that a man was found dead in Battery Fath and you didn't connect the two circumstances --No, I did

not,

Didn't you know somebody was suspected of causing the death of this mar?-I didn't know

The Allarney-General-You should possess the art of pulting two and two together before you finish your articles if you are to be a solicitor,

Witness-After what I saw I never paid any heed to the matter.

How do you remember so particularly now On the Saturday when the man was charged

at the Police Cour -

Why didn't you mention it to the police? You saw a soldier and two women ?—Yes.

And next day you knew a soldier had been killed? Yes.

And the soldier and the two women were al Battery Path-Bow was 1 to connect that with the death?

Why not?-He wasn't half skilful enough. Not half skilful as you ?-No. Why didn't you do the tricks for him 2-1 couldn't do them (laughter).

NOT ANOTHER ILLUSION.

Why did you say nothing about this affair? Because he asked me to say nothing on account of his people.

NOT A LINGUIST.

You don't speak English or Yiddish?—No. You only speak English ?—Yes.

Just like myself. How did you understand what the Russian said?-He spoke broken English,

Badly broken, I should say (laughter) By Mr. Sharp-You did all your conjuring work with him in English 7-Yes.

He spoke English --Not very well. Did you make him understand you?--Yes, clearly.

T. Moses gave evidence as to having spoken in Yiddish with the Russian and corroborated what has been said already on this point.

A PUILICAN'S STORY..

F. Oram, proprietor of the Praya East Hotel said he knew Gunner Sampson.

Do you recollect if he was in your Hotel the night he died?-Yes.

Was he there more than once?--Yes, twice. When was the first time -About 8 or 9 clock it was carly in the evening. I would- n't be sure about the time.

What did the deceased have?-A beer

As to the second time?-He came in alone. What time was that?-fletween 11 and 11.30. And he had?-Beer.

He was patrolling up and down in front of your Hotel-Yes.

Did you see him again after that 7-] naw him at to minutes to 12.

A FAVOUR.

What happened then?—ve asked me to lend him $a as a favour, which 1 did.

What form did you give him the money Twenty-cents pieces.

Did you tell the palice this?-Yes. I couldn't give the name of the policeman.

you?-Yes, I gave them this information, but The Chief Justice Did they come and ask they never came for me.

By the Attorney-General-At 11:50 p.m. Sampson was absolutely sober.

Mr.harp pointed out that Miss Radcliffe had never been called before the Police Magistrate. The witness, in answer to Mr. Sharp, raid she had never seen any Chinese by there at the time. There was plenty of light there at would have seen him. the time and if there had been a boy there she

The Attorney-General-Why did you leave the dog behind when you went up the Path? Because you were afraid it would hap?-No.

The Chief Justice-What made Miss Desbien fall?--She stumbled:

A furyman-Has Miss Radcliffe received any suggestions as to what evidence she should give? No, sir.

NO PROMPTER.

The Allomey-General-Has anyone prompt. ed you ?—No, sir.

Another Juryman--Which ditch was it that Miss Desblen fell over-The one going to the left, right at the foot of the Path.

The case for the defcace was closed.

Mr. Sharp, addressing the jury, said he had little to add beyond what he had said in his opening and to recapitulate what had been given in the evidence was a waste of time. But he would direct their attention to the plincipal points and the principles on which they should found their decision. The most important principle was the presumption of evidence and that principle was the principle of reasonable doubl. He quoted Taylor on this subject, and said that if on the evidence it was reasonably possible that the deceased's first fall did not occasion the fatal injury and that the deceased rose and walked on,

then the proper application of that principle was that the prisoner should get the benefit of was that this man was under the influence of the doubt. The two things most clearly shown

John Quinn, steward at the Hongkong Club, said on the evening of the 16th in the was in the Hongkong Hotel playing billiards. The defendant came and spoke to him and the

friend with whom he was playing. The de fendant spoke to him first about 10.30. From that time he saw the defendant off and on until closing time. If the defendant went to the Owl during that time it would have been for a very short time.

Just then the defendant came up. but, from what direction he came she could not tell. Miss A soldier struck me." Els said-"Where is Desbien was crying and said "Look at me he," and Miss Desbien showed him. Then witness said to Ellis-"Get bim or fetch him," and Els said "I'll fetch him and went off to fetch him. They both got out of the rickshas. Miss Desbien fell, and she was helping Miss Deshien to rise when the defendant came back. When Ellis came back they said "Where is he," meaning the soldier, and Ellis said "Up there." Miss Lesbien said-Come on; let's go and see him." She and the witness went up the Path. The defendant stood at the foot of the Path holding a little dog

ON BATTERY PATH.

Did you see the soldier?—Yes. Where?-Right under the gas light. On the ground?--Yes. Which gas lamp was that?-The first one. Quite sure of that ?-Quite. You looked at him?-Yes See his face ?-Yes I saw it clearly because the light was shining on it.

Was there any mark on his face ?—No, sir; there was not.

Cecil Peachley, waiter at the Sil-er Grill, said on the 16th July he was at the Owl and went on duty at 9.30 p.m. When be came on duty, Miss Desbien and Mis Slater went out.

The Attorney-General said the rule was clear, that no stalenient and could be received after counsel had closed his address.

The Chief Justice remarked that counsel re- presented their clients, so absolutely that they could make their statement.

PUBLIC AUCTION.

The Attorney-General said he had no objec-. tion to the statement being made, but it was THE Undersigned bas received instructions

not right. It prejudiced the jury.

Mr. Sharp stated that the statement was in writing, and had been handed down by the prisoner.

MRS. MAYBRICK's CASE.

A multiplicity of authorities was produced by counsel on both sides. Mrs. Maybrick's case was referred to, Mrs. Maybrick having been allowed to address the jury after her counsel, Sir Charles Russell, had made his ad. dress to the jury.

The Chief Justice. It seems to me a mosi objectionable-most inconvenient-course to pursua, to put in speeches after counsel have delivered their addresses to the jury.

Mr. Sharp said it was a matter in the discre tion of the Court.

1

The Chief Justice said he would not object to the admission on this occasion, but he would adhere to the practice in future.

THE CONFESSION.

Aaton Ellis then rose 'in the dock and said he deeply regretted his connection with this affair, but he did not think he was to blame. He never thought the man was injured; he thought 'the "soldier was just drunk. He did not go up the Path with the intention of hitting the man. He wanted to fetch him back or get his name. It was only when the mae struck him that he struck back. He kept silence in the matter because he knew he was morally innocent; and he did not want to involve his relatives in the disgrace of a public trial. As nobody else was charged he thought his silence would injure nobody.

The Attorney-General thereafter addressed the jury for the Crows.

His Lordship is summing up as we go to press at 4.45 p.m.

With regard to the evidence of the Chinese boy, it was a very significant fact that that boy' lived at the Soldiers' Club, and it was admitted that there was a very vindictive feeling_among the deceased's comrades against the defendant.
