The Crown case is being con- ducted by Mr. J.A. Fraser, and Mr. Duncan McNelll, Instructed by G.K, Hall Brutton appears for the; defence.

Answering Mr. McNeill, Ling Sam said he did not talk to Ho Hong-sang about the price of oplum and did not know that $12 was the price mentioned as the value of the oplump by Ho Hong sang'a acquaintance. The

man who purchased the optum from him aald that was the best price he could offer. He received $12 and that we the price handed

Mr. McNeill:-You did not say anything in the Magistrates Court about defendant giving you $12 for "tea money",

Witness: I did not mention it because it may have escaped my memory at that moment.

Witness, in answer to further questiona, dented walking through the Cheung Chun shop, calling to defendant to come down stairs.

He called from the foot of the stairs.

Answering Mr. Fraser, witness slated that the third and fourth statements he made to the Police were quite voluntary. He made these statements because he thought no harm would come to him if the truth was told.
