EVIDENCE.

The circumstances surrounding the visit of three men to No. 8, Sha Po Street, Kowloon City, occupied by a Chinese priest named Cheung Hung-chun, their subsequent departure and the dis- covery of Cheung's dead body, were investigated at the trial of three men, which commenced at the Criminal Sessions yesterday before the Chief Justice (Sir Joseph Kemp)..

to mean that he (witness) told et cused to pick someone out at random to make a case, but witness såld that was not true..

Mr. Jenkin:As a result of all the investigallons you made did you, yourself, know of any reason whatever why No. 3 should have been arrested?-Up to the moment of his arrest, or before, 1 know of no reason.

Witness continued "I had no suspicion of him, as a matter of fact. He could have run away had] he liked. I did not treat him as a man who should be watched. Afterwards, he was identified, of course."

Answering further questions, witness said he did not know, him- self, that the girl did not identify first accused at an identification parade, although he had been told

The accused, Tse Ping, alias Tse Ki-chau, Cheng Luk and Sun Tam are charged with the murder of Cheung Hung-chun at No. 3, Sha Po Street, Kowloon

Scrutches on Bands,

Dr. D. J. Valentine, Medical Of ficer, Victoria Gaol, said that he saw No. 2 prisoner in the Kowloon Hospital at about 745 p.m. on February 18th. He examined him and found five small cuts scratches on the back of the left hand and five similar cuts on the back of the right hand, together with a deeper wound on the index finger of the right hand. It might have been caused three days before he saw it, as it was act healed. It was a cut that would have bled pro- fusely, and under certain circum- stances might have bled for 30 minules, He agreed that if it had been allowed, it was possible that the blood dropped for some two to three hundred feet.

Mr. Jenkin put it to witness that No. 3 did not point out No. 2, but this witness denied, saying his pre- vious answer was correct.

Arrested at Cinema.

Mr. Jenkin: Do you realise that all these three men who were first arrested in connexion with this matter were all arrested--although at different times-at Mongkok Cinema?--Yes.

CHIEF JUSTICE.

SIR JOSEPH KEMP APPOINTED,

The Colonial Secretary informs us that a telegram has been re- ceived from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the effect that His Majesty the King has been pleased to approve the appoint- ment of Sir Joseph Kemp, K.C., C.B.E., to the Chief Justice in suc- cession to Sir Henry Gollan, C.B.E. Sir Joseph Kemp has been acting Chief Justice since Sir Henry Gollan left, and his substantive appointment will be received with general satisfaction.

A man of sterling worth, and character and much personal charm, Sir Joseph Kemp's appoint ment as Chief Justice is a reward for many years of diligent public service in the Colony. For over thirty-one years Sir Joseph Kemp has laboured here. His duties have not brought him so much into the limelight as some of the more "spectacular" offices is the service, but the many who know of his work and worth will agree that no honour was more deserved- ly gained. Congratulations to Sir Joseph Kemp, CJ.

It was on Christmas Day in 1899 that Sir Joseph Kemp Arsi arrived. in the Colony,. following his appointment as a cadet. For a time he was attached to he Colonial Secretary's office. Then he went to Canton to study Chin- ese and he remained there from January unt!! July of 1899. In the second half of that year he Witness added that he arrested was introduced to Land Office man on the morning of work in the New Territories.

Mr. Jenkin: That is false. No. 3 walked up to No. 1, which makes all the difference?-No.

Witness went on to say that No. ments he had made were largely 2 was arrested on the following when he was doing speculative, as they were

Mr. Jenkin: Perhaps he was thinking of the hard luck his brothers in crime had suffered on the day before. Can you give any rational explanation why, every time this party set out from the teahouse, they apparently went straight to Mongkok Cinema and effected these three arrests there? According to information their ad- dresses were not known but they frequented the cinema.
