The submission he wished to make for the interveners was that not forth- this information was coming because it would not bear scrutiny,

"I think that if this is an at- tempt to get money out of the Insurance Company, it la vary carefully planned and thought out," added Mr. Potter.

A fraudulent man had to die' The case of a "mystery" man, sometime like everybody else, but whose Identity and death were it was curious that this "man of bound up in an alleged drowning straw" as he could call him, should drama and a claim under a life in-dio in this manner. surance polley for $20,000 Straits money, came to an end before the Chief Justice, Mr. J. R. Wood, at the Supreme Court yesterday.

A motion by the widow of Yap Chee-meow late of 21, Shanghai Stroet, Yaumati, to presume his death by drowning in the Pearl River on September 0 Inst year, was refused. A similar applica- tion before Sir Joseph Kemp in November, 1932, had also been un- successful.

Interveners were

His Lordship: Are you suggest- ing that nobody foll overboard?

Mr. Potter: I don't know. It may be that he fell overboard but it was at a place only 12 miles from where his introducer Hyed.

There were four possibilities, ho continued. Yap may have fallen the China overboard and died, he may have Underwriters, Ltd., who did not got ashore, somebody else may nobody have been the victim, or ask his Lordship to make any

The hearing opened on Monday, when the bulk of the evidence was given.

Applicant was represented by Mr. Leo D'Almada, jnr., instructed by Messrs. Lo and Lo, and Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., instructed by Messrs. Deacons, appeared for the inter-

veners.

Mr. D'Almada: Address. Mr. D'Almada, rising to address the Judge, said he hoped that his actions would never be interpreted by Mr. Potter, for however innocent they might be, they could hardly Call to assume a shady or dishonest aspect through him.

Although the means of deceased were not strictly relevant to tho present issue, ho would remind the court that his mother had affirmed the receipt of amounts ranging from $300 to $1,000 two or three times a year.

Identity Unproved. Addressing the Judge, Mr. Potter said he had opened the case very fully but wished to emphasise that in a case of this kind where Yap and his wife probably lived life or death had to be proved, the a retired life in Kuala Lumpur, and onus of such proof was afirmant. Assuming that tioner had satisfied the court Yap existed, she had now to that he was dent.

on

the the fact that the Company's in- peti-vestigations had failed to disclose that any confirmation of their presence show in Singapore was corroboration of the widow's inability to state ex- actly where they lived or for whom that her husband worked during

time.

The letter of introduction was obtained in a perfectly innocent manner, he stated.

It was common ground that there was no other property belonging to the applicant, so that the issue was between her and the Company.

Dealing with the facts of the case, he submitted that they must be taken as a whole and in that As to the varying accounts of light they were as far as ever from what happened on the ferry, he establishing the identity of Yap suggested that owing to the dark- Chee-meow. In fact he would go neas and the excitement among the passengers, there so far as to say that they were hundred or s0 further, because Chan On, when in were bound to be different vorsions. the witness box, had not taken the

He was entitled to submit, too,. information about the man whom that the Company had not made he had known for 15 years and

(Continued on Page, 2.) who was his sworn brother. Chan On would not or could not, tell them of one place where deceased had worked, and though the inter- veners had tapped every source of information availabla they were in that position of ignorance still.

His Lorship remarked that the Insurance Company medically óx- umined somebody when they grant- ed the policy in Singapore, and that doctor of the Company again examined him in Hongkong. Was the there any question but that xubject of examination in these places was one and the same man?

A

Mr. Potter said there was no doubt that the man was the same, but the Company's difficulty was that they were not satisfied that the alleged dead man and Yop were ono and the same.

His Lorship said the fact that the policy was taken out in favour of the applicant pointed to It's bona fides, unless a campaign of dishonesty had been running on since it was taken out in Decem- ber, 1930.

"That will be our submission, my Lord," replied Mr. Potter.

Continuing, he said that there were no data on which they could trace events from Decomber, 1000, but his submission was that Yap Intended eventually to swindle the Company.

It was significant that though Yap was 16 years in Kuala Lunipur, not a single witness could, or would, put the Company in touch with anybody who had known him there.

Part of the whole arrangement was the fact that Yap wrote to the, Singapore office asking for a lotter of introduction to the Hong- kong office, intend of personally applying for.the-letter.

"A Man of Straw." Mr. Potter sald he did not wish to attack the honesty of the widow, but the "crass ignorance" that had been Imputed to her would not serve as an excuse for othòr wit- nesses. He suggested that Chan Shook-khow, who said ' he saw the man fall into the river but could not remember the number of his own house, actually lived with his brother-in-law 'Yip Peng-yes; Tho latter and Chong King-hoo, the In- troducera of Yap to the Company. had not given any information about him since his alleged death.
