Extortion Claim
Police Interprator On
Serious Charge Cominitial proceedings against Un Shul-ki, 23, police Interpreter, charg-
ed
with demanding money with menaces, was commenced before Mr. E. Himsworth at the Kowloon Magis- iracy yesterday. Un is alleged to have, on April 23, extoried $110 from Lau Hel-yuk, at the Hip On Club, Olles Avenue, Hunghum, as a tee due to him as an interpreter, and demanding $110, with mentees,
Mr. J. B. Prentis, Assistant Crown by Sub-Inspector Solicitor, assisted C. Mottram prosecuted, while Un was represented by Mr. C. d'Alinado.
Opening the case, Mr. Prentis said it concerned a man named Lau Hei- yuk, from whom the prosecution alleged Un extorted $110. Lau was a former carpenter of the Kowloon Docks, and a member of the kai fong of the Hunghom district,
A dinner was given at the Tal Koon Restaurant, Yaumati, on April
ductor. An argument occurred, and Lau suggested they all go to the Junghom Police station.
Inspector J. Edwards was on duty at that time, and an interpreter, Wan Wal-yec was told to find out the facts of the ease. In the meantime, Lau was placed in the dock, and when Un came on duty, the facts were explained to him by Wan.
Later, Un was asked by Inspector Edwards if he knew Lau, and replied that he did.
Lau was then taken to the Chinese detective's room by Un, as Inspector Edwards had made up his mind not to prefer a charge against him. The reason for taking Lau to the room was to explain that having bad coins was a serious thing.
Un was instructed to explain that to Lau, but instead of that, sald "Are you prepared to pay wine, money to the Inspector in erder to have the charge settled."
Lau replied that it was not a serious offence, and wanted to know what it was all about.
Un then told Lau that if he did not settle 11, he would be remanded to the Court in the morning, and would get three years when the case was sent to the Sessions.
Amount Agreed On
found until about 11,10, when defen-. dant returned to the charge room.
A complaint was made by Lau and others at the Club the next day, and as a result, Un was arrested,
Un, when arrested, sold. It is nonsense. I was on duty from 10 SHTET. and I was engaged by the Inspector to take statements."
