Mr. J. A. Fraser, Assistant Attorney General, prosecuted, while Mr. C. Y, Kwan appeared for the defence.

Yesterday Mr. H. J. Hunter gave evidence that he possessed one of the two key's to the front door of his fiat. The other key belonged to his wife. He always paid his servants their wages on the first of each month. On December defendant was to have recolved $0 for wages as he had already drawn his other $6 during the month of

The defendant had been doing extra house work while the cook- boy was away in the country for which ho received an extra cents per day. Defendant had as ked Mr. Huntor to find him a job. when he left the night-school. This WEE about the

beginning of October. Witness recalled having taken a photograph of, the boy at the 11-mile beach.

Cheery Servant.

Mr. Hunter added."Defendant was a bright, cheary and willing servant during the time he was in my employ. He was on as good terms with me as it is possible for servant to be with master. I have never quarrelled with him,"

In continuing his evidence, Mr. Hunter said that at various times he had given the defendant tips, such as 31 for, helping at his daughter's party in November 18 and another $2 on November 29 to buy a pullover because he had complained of the cold.

On November 30, witness left his flat at 1.30 p.m. He described his return as follows:

"Between 5.5 p.m. and 6.10 p.m.. I returned home and opened the front door with my key. When I walked Inside I saw spots of blood on the hall rug. thought that our small dog had been in a fight. I turned into the dining-room and found pools of blood, blood scatter- ed over the chairs and also hair mixed with the blood. This

Was just in the entrance to the dining-

room.

Moan from Bathroom.

"41 Immediately whistled peculiar call that my wife always answers and heard 'n moan from the bath-room. I turned into that room and found my wife wedged up between the small wash-hand- stand and the wall with a big gash in her right cheek from which blood was streaming.

"I asked her what had happened and she lifted up her left arm and moaned. I found three heavy cuts on the left arm through the dress sleeve. I ripped up the dreas sleeve with my pocket knife and bound the arm to the best of my ability with a bandage. I then lifted her into a chair in the bath- room with the idea of patching her face, but found that I had adhesive plaster. I then rushed off to the Empress Store, telephon- ed for doctors, bought some hesive plaster and told a European woman in the store what had hap- pened. She immediately reported to the Police. By the time I had attended to my wife, the Police arrived and took charge."

Mr. Hunter recalled that the door of the kitchen was closed and that he had not seen his dog until the Police arrived. No jewellery had

been taken.

When he had last seen defendant he had appeared to be as friendly as over. When questioned by ME: Wynne-Jones as to the appearance of the boy in Court, Mr. Hunter said: "There is a great change in the defendan't demeanour now. The change appears to be mental and from my long experience. would judge from his eyes and mouth that he has undergone

mental severa

strain. He nothing like as cheerful now as he was before the occurrence."

Inspector's Evidence, Sub-Inspector C. R. Rozenkwry gave evidence that on November 30 at 6 p.m. a report had been made to the Police Station. He went to 56A Nathan Road and saw Mrs. Hunter who was in state of collapse. Her clothes were saturat- ed in blood. There were pools of blood in the dining room, on one of the chairs, on the hall rug and the hat-stand. On examination of the flat, he found the knife on the con- crete ledge outside the kitchen. The servants' quarters appeared to bo in order and in defendant's room witness found the usual bedding and clothing also some photographs and school books. There was nothing in the appearance of the mom to load witness to think that preparations for flight had been made. Later, witaces took Mrs. Hunter to the Kowloon Hospital.

A Chinese woman, cously by marriage to the defendant, sald

that defendant had fairly often borrowed sums of money from her but had always pald her back. Those loans wore usually made on the last day of the month. The last loan of $3 was made the day before the Polico visited her house. This loan of money.
