Secondary Evidence, Argument was further continued

the question of "secondary evidence" on which the prosecution now relled-in default of the power- of-attorney, and the point was still left in abeyance when the Court adjourned, until Wednesday after- noon.

on

In the course of an extensive opening on the case for the pro- accution on Wednesday.. Counsel alleged that the accused procured three men to impersonate partners of the King, Fook Wo firm, and with their assistance to forge a power-of-attorney conferring himself the sole control and direc- tion of the business bath in Hong- kong and in Indo-China. Having ousted the managing partner pre- viously in charge of the Indo-China business, it is alleged, he had his wife Chan Cheung-shi, to similarly seize the Hongkong office, and that when the manager Chan Han-po resisted, she had him arrested on a false declaration of fraud, but eventually balled him out with the Arms's money and induced him, by enlarging on the gravity

of his legal position, to jump ball and go into hiding. Haying thus secured full control of the business, the accused is alleged to have operated it as he willed, to the detriment of the other partners who were effec tively silenced by a threat of being saddled with the firm's debts...

Partners Took Action. The situation continued for a number of years, sald Counsel, until recently, when the partners

Mr. Brooks explained that in. 1929 he had appeared for the com-2 plainant against Chan Hang-po before the latter disappeared, "I am instructed now again by the com- plainant, and my instructions are to apply for an increase of the bail granted to Chan Hang-po," said Mr. Brooks.
