COMMITTED FOR

TRIAL

THE HUNG TÁK BANK

MURDER CASE..

The magisterial hearing of the Hung Tak Bank murder case was concluded at the Central Magis- tracy yesterday afternoon, when Mr. Lindsell ordered the accused Li Man-peo, to stand his trial at the next Sessions at the Supremo Court.

The evidence of the two police officers, Sergeant Johnson and De tective Sergeant Flattery, was taken, as was also the evidence of the detective officer who took down the accused's statement. «

Sergeant Johnson described the scene which presented itself when he went to make investigations. He said that he had the bodies removed to the mortuary,

of

Detective Sergeant Flattery corroborated this evidence, but gaid that he noticed poole blood all over the place. He also found a box belonging to the ac cused, which contained $9.40 in Hongkong and Chinese money, and also his clothes and two tins of biscuits. He received four choppers from a constable. Two of them were bloodstained.

Fung Yui-tong, the detective officer then produced the state- ment of the accused. It was as follows:"I myself absolutely know nothing. I had no grudge whatever against him, (referring to the murdered man Fung Sik chuk). As regards killing him, I know nothing. I did not murder him intentionally. I know no- thing about this matter."

'The accused said, that he want- ed to come to Hongkong to look for work, but he met a man in the country, who promised to get him a job in Hongkong, for over $10

month. When he Hongkong, his friend said that there was no job at the time. After remaining in Hongkong for three days, accused thought of returning to the country, He met Lel Lei-ki, who asked him to re- main for two days more. After the two days had elapsed he went to the residence of Ching Tai-chi, who said that he had no job to offer accused, but would take the accused's address down. Ching Tai-chi, however, asked accused to come to the Bank the next day, and then persuaded accused to re- main a few days longer.

Two days later as no job had yet been found for him, accused decided to leave, and went on board the steamer. Wong Buk Chun, but as it was too early to embark, the police turned him off the steamer. He then went on board the Sing Lung Hoi, but as all the passengers were strangers to him, he returned to the wharf,

usd went to the Bank again.

Always happy at teething time

BABY

ABY is always happy at teething time if crisp "Ovaltine" Rusks are given to him to bite upon when the first little teeth are making their appearance. With the assistance of these delicious rusks the tiny teeth come easily and quickly through the gums, Strong, healthy teeth with good formation are promoted. Baly delights in the crispness of "Ovaltine" Rusks. As he grows older they should continue to form part of the daily dietary. Efficient mastication is encouraged-and this has a vital hearing upon health.

In the manufacture of "Ovaltine" Rusks the finest wheaten flour is used-unbleached, unadulterated and guaranteed ubolutely pure. The addition of a proportion of "Ovaltine" the supreme tonic food beverage-adds to their nutritive value, gives them a fascinating flavour and renders them easy of digestion..

Adults, too, prefer them to bread, toast or biscuits. They are particularly delightful when eaten with cheese at lunch or supper or at any light meal.
