in his outline of the case, which laster almost an hour, Mr. Williams said the forts which fed to the dis covery, of the conspiracy began, so' fantas the Crown witnesses wero concerned, on March 13 when Chinear Revenue Officer Tam W, No. 5, came into possession of certain in- Lomination in consequence of whlehr be had a discussion will several of als: cóllengües. Subsequently no made a report to Chief Preventive Offeer Buller who gave him certain Instrum- .iun. On the afternoon of March 17 and the following morning, Tamm Wei received further information which he also passed on to his superior oflcers.

On March 20, about mid-day, Chief Chinese Reventie Officer Mo Kang, whip had been in the service for over 20 years, was in his office when hu reecived a telephone message, saying

have a very good opportunity for Revenue Offieirs, and if you would come to my house with one or 1wo others, I will talk If over with you." The speaker gave his name as Lam To and nis adiross, 1 Prospect Place.

As a result of this, Mo Kang sent Tum Wel and another officer named Tsang, Ching to the address given. On arrival they found Randall Who Spid he

wanted to give Revenue Ofileers a good opportunity, and wenty on to explain that he had appointed people to collect money from oplum divans in Hongkong and that several hundred dolins had already been re- ceived. Randall added that he had nirendy fixed up with the European Revenue Omeers, and asked Tam Wei If he had any power to discusa the matter on behalf of his colleagues. Tam Wei replied in the negative and added that he would discuss with his superior officer, Mo Kang.

UNION SUGGESTED On March 20, about 3

p.m., MD Kang received another telephone call at his office, and recognised the volce as that of Lam To, who usked him to go to the San Kel Yuen Restaurant,

Mo Kang, Tam Wei and Tsong Ching went to the place in question where they found Randall, the second and third hecused. After a general

conversation, Rindall said he desired the Revenue Officers to form'a union and work with them in collecting money from opium divans, and that he had already engaged prople for this purpose.

Randoll added there were about' 800 divans in Hongkong alone, i suggested that the money collected be divided into three shares, one for Chinese Revenue offleers, one for European Revenue OMcors, and thu' remaining part for themselves, Mo Kung sald lie preferred receiving a Bxed' sum rather than an umount varying from month to month, where- upon. Randal suggested that $500 be paid to the officers every month..

"BOB" AŠ PASSWORD

o Kang agrood-and-Randall-then- got hold of a pleet of paper and wrote the word "Bob" on it, saying that whenever this password was used at divans the revenue depart nient were not to deal harshly "with them. Randall farther stated that if they were united a good

Opium from Macao and, if they were united, the practice could be restored.

Coming, to March 30, Mr. Williams said that Mo Kang received another telephone call from Randall, asking him to go to the fifth floor of the Cainn Proporium. With two of his subordinate officers, Mo Kang went to the place where Randall said he' had forgotten there were thirty-on days in the mouth. He told Me Kang that he would let him know of the.

place where they would meet Inter,

The following day, Mo Kang was asked to go to the To Yuen Res- Laurant. He did so, but meanwhile the Police had been informed and a party was sent to accompany him. On arrival, Randall was not there but the third accused stated that he had gone to Macao and would be there lator. Subsequently Randall and the rest of the accused arrived. Randall said the other necused had been engaged na collectors and that money to the extent of about $300 had been collected from 70 to 80 per cent, of the divans. The second accused them produced a small book which contain- ed about 1,000 addresses from which money had been collected.

Subsequently, Randall sald he wished to pay $500 a month to the ofcers and asked Mo Kang if this would be satisfactory. On receiving n reply in the affirmative, Randall handed over, the money.

At this stake, one of

the

alecro, according to a pre-arranged signal, left the room and informed the police who, were waiting outside. Inspector M. Murphy, who was in charge, isked Randall why he gave the money, and the latter replied that it was for the purpose of forming a club.

RANDALL'S STATEMENT

At the Central Police Station, Randall intimated that he would like Lo make a written statement. After being cautioned he commenced to de , hut on legal advice, he did not complete or sign it. The following day. lie completed the statement and in it he said that he was approached by the third accused who asked him if he could secure the co-operation of the revenue officers in connection with his opium and heroin pill business. He promised to do so.

Randall then went on to explain that the reason why he promised to do so was because he had been offer- edn post by the United States Treasury in connection with drug traffle. In order to prove his ability, he wanted to get information about splum and other drugs, and thus became involved in the present trouble.

The second accused, in reply to the charge, blamed the third prisoner, while the latter admitted that his intended to deal in opium.

The rest of the accused disclaimed all knowledge of the conspiracy.

In conclusion, Mr. Williams said the ease for the Crown was that Randall, together with the second and third accused, were the prime movers of the conspiracy and the remainder of the prisoners were the collectors.

.

Revenue Olleer Lam Wel was then called, and he gave evidence cor- roberating what Mr. Williams had said.
