(Continued from Page 7.)

into the witness box, to put men fighting for their own lives.

DRAMATIC TENSION. The atmosphere of drama in the Court at this stage was felt by all present. The silence which hung over the audience was broken only by the penetrating voice of defend ing counael. His every gesture was followed by the crowded courtroom.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY,

the murder Mr. Potter romarked that he was going to suggest that! he could put up a fair and logical defence for Lau if bo were charged in the present ense.

NOT A FREE AGENT.

Mr. Potter asked If the Jury} knew what the law was. Ho sald that if he were the necused person and he made a statement Implient- ing himself as a result of n promise by the Police, that could not be used against him. Why? Because he was not a free agent. at the time that he made that statement.

And yet the jury was solemnly asked in this case to take the evidence of Tsui against Cheng the and that evidence was taken on the promise that he might get a pardon.

Mr. Potter went on: "The leading counsel.for Crown has suggested that even now he does not know the defence, He ought to know it. I want to

"If it can possibly do se, the Crown always desires to establish motive. The motive in this case. we are told, was an all-consuming jealousy which drove the avenged. desperate and induced him to arrange for the murder of Func.

"The evidence does not establish | Geneva this-even the evidence of its own witnesses."

LAI MING-FAY'S STORY. Mr. Potter read the evidence of Lai-Ming-fay taken in the Police Court. When giving evidence, she said that the feelings of the accus.

Proceeding Mr. Potter said the cross-examination had proved that in fact the accused's love for hen was waning.

"You will remember", he said. "that when La Min-fay left 59. Village Road, a girl named Annie' Au went to live with the accusel." Counsel said it was for the jury to find two things, 1-thoi Lau took part in this crime and that Lau was the authorised agent of the accused.

TSUP'S EVIDENCE. Dealing with Tsul's evidence, Mr. Potter said "You have first to consider the character of Tsui, Not only is he an ad- mitled murderer; he is a danger Dus gunman. Otherwise why did he keep guns in his quarters? He is the type of man who will lie to save his own neck and I submit that is what he did. He told us he had read the whole of the evidence in Chinese newspapers. He knew all about the cuso before he went into the witness box."

That man also must carn his pardon and how can he earn it?"! continued Mr. Polter. He had to put the blame on somebody else but why on Cheng? It might be asked. Because Cheng was the man who was actually before the Court and actually accused of the crime.

It all commenced with that dreadful pardon, which was offer ed to him when he made his state- ment. It did not matter what good intention the Police had when the offer was made, but the jury had to look at the effect that promise had on the man's mind. That Was Tsuf's position. He was prepared to give any evidence to save its own life.

CODE OF HONOUR. After all everybody had their code of honour but Mr. Poiter thought there was many n good man who, at any rate was better man than Tsui, who would be prepared to lie to save his life. What did the jury think of person ke Taul who was a self- confessed murderer?
