SEQUEL TO FATAL REVOLVER DUEL.

DISTRICT WATCHMAN ON SERIOUS CHARGE

The shooting affair in Western Street at midnight on September 10-11, when two District Watchmen engaged in a duel, one injuring the other fatally, had a Court sequel yesterday afternoon, when District Watchman No. 99, Slu Kon-chiu, was charged with the wilful murder of District Watchman No. 60, Lai; Chuon.

The accused was not represented

by counsel,

In a detailed statement of the Crown case, Mr. Fraser, Assistant Crown Solicitor, described the course of the duel, which occurred in a sloping street outside the No. 7 Police Station, at an hour when the duties were being changed, and said that it will be the Crown case that the accused shot-the deceased first and killed him.

Opening for the Crown, Br Fraser sold:

This murder is a result of a quarrel between two district watch- men over a girl-a prostituto at Yat Foo Street, West Point Sho was well-known to the dead man, and they wore on very intimato terms.

On the evening of the night on which the dead man Lai Cheun was killed, the accused together with a friend went to this girl, and tho accused proposed that she abould She be friendly to this friend. rofused to entertain the sugges- tion, and the accused and his friend' thon left.

Later that evening, the dead man on hia beat came round and apoke to the girl in the street, and she told him that the accused had come earlier that evening. The next thing that we know took place, in fact the next thing that actually happened (there was no unfriend- Hness between the girl and the ac- cused, there was no excitement, or anger shown by the dead man at the time) was the shooting.

Midnight Encounter.

The scene was transferred to the foot of Western Street at mid- night on the night of September 10-11. Three District Watchmen were waiting at the foot of Western Strect to go off duty. They changed duties at the No. 7 Pólico Station. One District Watchman was waiting at the corner of Western Street and Queen's Road West as the midnight duties eano oal of the Scation. Those Dew duties consisted, on that night, of: four District Watchmen, two of whium turned up ir the direction of Queen's Road, and the Accused, who was one of the other two, turri- ed round from the Station towards Des Voeux Road. As he round, the three District Wutch- men waiting round the corner to be relieved, came up. One walked past the ndeused and on. Of the other two one was the dead man.

came

It was dark at the time. The only light came from, a shop at the corner, and, owing to the lateness of the hour, most of the lights in the street were out, with the pos sible exception

lighta of some upstairs in the houses.

The accused was stopped by tho man who was killed, and they had a Actually conversation together.

there is no record of the details of that conversation, but apparently it was a quarrel and presumably it relnied to the woman.

Quarrol Over Woman.

The dead man was accusing the accused of interfering with his girl, and he asked the latter to go with! him to the Station. One witness will any-there is no corroboration: -that the dead man hit the accus- ed with a truncheon.

Now, it was a dark night, and the sloping road was slippery. The accused fell down. Whether

he

was pushed down, was struck down, or slipped down, is a matter to be brought out in the evidence. I
