TELLS OF DEATH

OF CHINESE

ATTACKED CONSTABLE WITH CHOPPER

Further evidence in the Inquiry into the death of Ho Ban, 30, a cook who was shot and killed by a constable on November 13 while allegedly resisting arrest, was heard at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday. An eye-witness described how the con- stable was forced to shoot in order to protect himself against a frenzied man who attacked him with a chopper.

Mr. K. Keen sat as Coroner, asslat ed by a Jury comprising Messrs. J. D. Minhinett (Foreman), Yu Tse-chlu and Hung Chiu-lin. Mr. R. H. E. Marks, Assistant Superintendent of Police, and Inspector E. G. Post, were present for the police.

Detective Inspector A. E. Carey told of having arrived

ot 857 Canton Road, the scene of the shoot- ing, soon after it had occurred. He said the constable, Lau Hing-wah, C70, and a man named Lau Lam who had assisted the policeman, both bore marks of struggle.

Lau Lam said he had been attract- ed to the scene by police whistles and had seen decensed holding the con- stable down just at the entrance to a Joss paper shop. Deceased Was poking the policeman with his truncheon.

Threat With Chopper

Witness ran forward and rescued the constable, and both seized the deceased. He, however, managed to break free, and run to the back of the shop, followed by the other two men. Deceased used a small knife on witness when witness tried to catch hold of him, and then pleked up a chopper and threatened the, policeman, who twice called upon him to drop his weapon, and when: he would not do so, fired once.

Deceased began to curse, and rush- ed at the constable, who drew back against the kitchen door. As deccas- ed made to strike the policeman, he fred again. Deceased was not de- terred and still came on,

The constable entered the kitchen and shut the door and called out to deceased from behind it, ordering him to throw away the chopper. But deceased did not do 30, und managed to force the door

open, despite the fact that witness Was hanging on to his trousers.

As he was entering, another shot was fired, and deceased collapsed.

The inquiry will be continued this afternoon.

THREE WEEKS TO PLAN A LIFE (Continued from Page 0.).

IN some ways I wish he had never met them, for their luxurious way of liv, ing, their amusing friends, have smashed my plans. They show o ed him a new world of comfort and culture which he had only read about in books.

He wants the same sort of life. He wants to meet and mix with the famous, the clever, the charming;-to-break into a world of people whose ideas about liv- ing I do not understand.

If he were a successful bar- rister he would be able to do so. But the hard facts remain that very few barristers ure success- ful, that many more men make a comfortable living by selling jewellery.

So often during the past week in which he has been home his mother and I have tried to make him see rea- son. Every time much the same argument,

"All the money in the world would not console me for having to spend my life in this place. It doesn't lead anywhere, however much money you make. I should stay here all my life and not know what life is."

"Perhaps you could make enough money here to give you a living, and then read for the Bar."

"By the time I made money here all my ambition would be gone. Oh, I know what you are going to say about only one man in a hundred making money at the Bar, but there's always plenty of room at the top."

"But how can you ever get to the top without influence or monoy 7"

There's nothing you can't do if you want to do it badly enough,"

WHAT can I say against

this sort of talk? Ile

is clever, perhaps too.clever for the little business I am offering. But there is nothing to show that he can do much better.

If I had money and influence with which to back him I havo no doubt that he would do well. But it is a very different story when your only capital is your brains.

In my heart I know that he is right, that it is better for him to go away. But he has only one chance in a thousand of makisig n decent living from the 1
