TO DEATH

Man Found Guilty

Of Poisoning Food..

Sentence of death was passed on Li Fuk-yue, 35, a villager from Tol- ahun, by the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, at the Criminal Sessions yesterday, when he was found guilty of the murder of Tang Kam, 10, mur- rled woman, at No. 103 Tung Chol Street, first floor, Mongkok, on Octo- bur 5.

The following Jury heard the case: Messrs. R. Pestonj (Foreman), Chan Tak-chlu, S. M. All, G. A. Vas, Fung Slu-leung. Co Shing-kaim and Lam Kwok-Lol.

Mr. E. H. Williams, Assistant At- white torney-General, prosecuted, Mr. It. C. Macnamara, instructed by M. H. N. Chau, of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Monter, appeared for the defence.

Accused was alleged to have caused the death of Tang Kam, her husband, 5327 old man of 70, and another woman by administering arsenic mixed in food to them.

Mr. V. C. Eramon, Government Analyst, told of the analysis he had made of the Internat orgatis of Tang Kum, and said that the total amount of arsenic found was .34 groin. In similar examinations made on the organs of Li Lung- were kwan, 4.8 grains of arsenic found, and in Chan Kwal, there was 1.7 grains.

SECRET CRIME Making his address. to the Jury after the adjournment for lunch, and as Mr. Macnamara intimated that he was not calling on accused to give evidence or chil any witnesses, Mr. Williams said the caso they had to deal with was essentially a crime which had to be performed in secret. Referring to the question of motive, Counsel

pointed to the objections raised by the villagers in Toishan to the relationship accused was carry-

His feeling against Tang may have rankled in accused's mind, and led him to think of doing her serious in- jury. Furthermore, ühte arsenic could not have gut into the cooking pot by accident, It was not a common sub- stance to be found lying about a house, which someone might have ac

He In fact, not bad a bath, so what there? uld he have been doing The pot, an old rusty and leaky pot, belonged to Tang, and accused had also told a small boy who lived the house that he had used the pot to cook rice the night before.

AND

DEFENCE SUBMISSIONS Mr. Macnamara suggested that the evidence given was compatible with accident. There was the possibility that ameone else on the floor had arsenic and not arcused alone, and such a substance might easily have been mistaken for something else and accidentally used. There was 110 prouf that the red mineral de- fendant was alleged to have had possession of was red arsenic. Coun- sei reminded the Jury that Mr. Brat- son had said that red arsenie was not soluble in water.

accused If guilty, why did he not escape from The Colony immediately after the poisoning, as he had ample time to, Counsel asked?

His Lordship, in his summing up, reviewed the evidence at length, and told the Jury that they had to be satisfied on the evidence adduced by the Crown beyond all reasonable doubt that accused had put arsenle he bad into the food, and also that deliberately introduced the arsenic in order to do grievous harm to some The Jury immediately be- person. fore and after the fatal meal. Sup- his Lordship sald molive, gesting that accused might firstly have hod his pride hurt by the terms in which Tang had addressed him during their quarrel over the loss of the spanner, and secondly, that he felt, his illicit Mak relationship with the woman might be impaired if she no longer had the bed space there.

There was abundance of evidence that accured bad access to arsenic, He had arrived at No. 103 Tung Choi Street, first floor, on October 4 carry- ing a basket, which he had put under Mak's

bed. It was the suggestion of the prosecution that accused had in the basket or in his pockets supply of soluble arsenie. There was Mr. Branson's evidence that arsenic oxide crystals had been found in the basket, secondly, similar traces had been found in accused's pockets, and thirdly, the scrapings of accused's fin- ger nails al bore traces of arsenic.

Dealing with the condust of aecus- ed, la Lordship said that accused gave a strange answer when stopped by a policeman in Apilu Street. lle had then said he knew what the
