MURDER CHARGE.

MEDICAL EVIDENCE OF

ABNORMALITY,

The trial of Kung Mof for, the murder of Wu Tsoi-mei in a board- | ing house in Connaught Road West opened at the Criminal Ses- sions before His Lordship the Chief Justice yesterday afternoon, Accused, who was defended by Mr. Leo d'Almada junr., instructed by Mr. F. C. E. Rendall, entered a plea of not guilty.

The case for the Crown

Dr. G. H. Thomas, of the Gov- ernment Civil Hospital, said the accused was admitted to hospital with a cut across, the front of his neck about five or six inches in length. ine wound was quite superficial and therefore not serious.

In reply to counsel for the de- fence, witness said the accused was in hospital for four days.

Mr. d'Almada: Did you And it necessary to treat him for any thing besides the wound?-No.

Were you able to form any opinion as to his mental condi- tion?-He appeared to me to be very morose and depressed. noticed he was very silent and taciturn.

MARKET. TRAGEDY,

MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE FAILS AT SESSIONS.

"You are very fortunate in bo- Ing discharged and I advise you to be very careful to keep your temper in the future," said the Pufane Judge at the Criminal Sessions yesterday afternoon when he discharged Lo Chol who was found not guilty of manslaughter. The charge referred to the death of a Chinese whose skull was ab- normally thin and who died after being struck on the head with a wooden clog.

Mr. H. K. Holmes, who proseau- ted for the Crown, stated that ac- cused and Chan Muk (deceased) were fokia employed at Mongkok Market. At about nine o'clock on the morning of August 19 they had some sort of a quarrel. It was not known whether or not they lost their tempers while playing, but at any rate they struggled and were separated by another foki, Les Ying. Certain evidence would be given to the effect that Chan Muk was pulled away from ac- used and as the separation was taking place accused struck Chan Muk on the chest.

Almost directly after the agi

paration, Chan Muk turned to go

away but accused followed him and hit him on the head with a wooden clog. It was not a severe blow but it so happened that Chan Muk died from the effects.

Medical evidence would be given to the effect that Chan Muk had an 1abnormally thin akull so that a very slight blow would cause his death. He was also not in a state to be, as one of the doctor's salı, "a good risk” and his chances of life were not very great in any cale.

Addicted to Opium.

Were you able to observe any of the characteristics of the drug Send? Yes. He la addicted to oplum smoking and to relieve his craving we gave him an anti- opium mixture three times a day. What made you think he need- ed it? The symptoms auggesteil that he needed something sooth- ing. I forget whether he was ask- ed if he smoked opium.

Accused had been brought be fore the Court because a death had been caused, and whether it was a serious case or not. it was only right that the jury should decide whether it was a matter of lawful killing or not,
