CATHEDRAL "BOMB” EXPLOSION.

POLICE INQUIRIES LEAD

TO A DEAD END

At the resumed inquest yesterday afternoon on Teol Yuen, killed by what appeared to have been the explosion of a bomb in the St. John's Cathedral grounds on March 80, Detective Inspector Dorling told the Coronor that the Polico were at a dead end in the inquiries they had pursued.

The writer has compiled what is known as the McKenney system for contract bidding. While the n. com- major portion of it is posite system, the better features having been selected from various 1 systems, it also inculcates several new and interesting angles for contract bridge, the first and most Important of which is the use of and secondly the one over one the bidding of four-card suits ahead of five or six-card suits.

Every grat- ing was found to be intact and coated with a gray paint which was not to be found on the scraps picked up after the explosion. The Dean of the Cathedral also stated that no recent repaire had been effected.

The foundation of the system is

He indicated that the investiga- istions are continuing, although for the present the results have been disappointing.

Original No Trump Bids. The pitch scale for valuing no trump hands is without a doubt the simplest method. The pitch scale is as follows:

Ace

King

Queen Jack

Ten spot (when held with a high honour)..

The Government Analyst, Mr: E. R. Dovey, had conceived the theory, witness continued, that the explosion occurred on the lid being taken off. This appeared to have been borne out by the fact that the lid was not in any way in 4 points jured. 3 points

"Or it may have been blown off 2 points by the force of the explosion," the

Coroner remarked. 1 point

when the hand does not contain an ace, the ten spot is given no value,

The total count required for original no trump bids of one is as follows:

Shum Shing, a Cathedral coolle who shared the same quarters with Tsoi Yuen, told the Court that he or did not see anything unusual peculiar in the behaviour of the deceased. Neither had he at any time soon the deceased carry a tin of any shape or form.

CRUELTY TO BOY

ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN BURNED BY FATHER Convicted of cruelty to one of his two young sons, Fan King-cheung, a merchant of 27, Yuk Sau Stroot was fined $100 by Mr. Wynno Jones at the Central Police Court yesterday and ordered to sign a bond for his future behaviour.

Mr. G. S. Hugh Jones appeared for the defence, and Mr. W. M. (Assistant Secretary Thomson for Chincao Affairs) was for the prosecution.

Mr. Thomson said that the pro- coedings were brought to the notice of the authorities by a private in- dividual who had rofused to appear in Caurt. The only evidence he bad was that of the two children The and the medical evidence. boys would say that they had been beaten and that the youngor one had had his cheeks burned and his flowor atand. head knocked against

Dr. G. H. Thomas said that there were over 60 cano marks on the younger boy, two scab areas his right elbow, a faint mark on his 1 cand temple and one on his upper lip. On the other boy were marka.

Before calling the defendant, Mr. Hugh Jones and that regarding on his body seemed to indicate ex- the younger of the boys, the marks cesalvo punishment. He did not, however, think they were serious. There were, admittedly, a great number of bruisca.

"This is a British Court in which certain ideas, which I hope are good ideas, prevail, and speaking myself as an Englishman I feel that the marks on that boy are excessive, he said.

Defendant's Responsibility.

Mr. Hugh Jones outlining the family history, pointed out that all the responsiblilty of the up-bring- ing of the children, their educa- tion and development of charactor and the guidance of their morals generally rested with the father an their mother was in the country, The father had brought the boys to Hongkong to give them an the education and also because younger one had been very ill. The younger boy was very trouble- some, did not respond to correction and was a great disappointment to his father.

The man reiterated his previous statement, and also said that he did not know of the explosion until after having had his atten- tion drawn to it.

The Inquest was adjourned until next week.

Mr. Wynne Jones discharged de- fendant on the count in respect of the elder boy but convicted on the other. After pointing out to de fendant that the method he had adopted was not the way to beach his children, the Magistrate said the present case was not quite the same as the one which he had be Core him some time ago when he In took a severe view of the case. that instance the child was two or three years of age.
