AN 18-YEAR-OLD youth who can neither speak nor hear was sent to prison for three months this morning.
A dear mute, he faced Mr. E. Hilmsworth at the Kowloon Magistracy, on a charge of theft,
For a while, when it became known that the youth, Wong Kan-chat, was a deaf mule, it seemed as if an Impasse would be reached in trying his case,
An attempt to convey the charge to him by the deaf and dumb alphabet was abortive. He couldn't understand it.
Then someone. remembered-Wong has already spent some time in prison for a similar crime-thal the youth could read.
The charge was written on a sheet of paper. He

A third sheet of paper: "Sentenced to three months

During the next three months, a warder at Stanley
Prison will give his orders to Wong with pencil and paper.
On the left is the scrap of paper that told Weng he would spend the next three months at Stanley Prison.
