Mr. Wodehouse stated that about 930 p.m. on 4th April P.C. Coalin was called by the inmates to the house, 58 Connaught Road Con- tral, and on entering found on the verandah of the third floor the deceased, who was severely wounded. He was at once removed to the bospital, but died on the way. Deceased was & man of doubtful character-in fact, he dealt in Japanese women in the Colony. On the 3rd April, the day before the murder, he brought three Japanese girls to the boarding house in Connaught Road Central, and on the following night, between seven and eight o'clock, be returned to the house, accompanied by the first defendant, who
remained second floor, while the deceased proceeded up- stairs to the third fl or to see the girls. About an hour later the second, third and fourth defend- ants came to the house and joined the first defendant on the second floor, where were also the mistress and a servant boy, both Japanese. The fourth defendant asked for s mething to drink, and beer was brought from the ice chest by the boy The deceased came down from the third floor and joined the party. They all sat down at the table, the fourth defendant and deceased sitting together on a mat while the others occupied obairs. The fourth defend- | Mr Quebec's Cedrio ant offered deceased a glass of beer, and the police alleged that while he was in the act of drinking this the four men set upon him, The mistress and the boy were frightened at the quarrrl and ran upstairs and shut themselves in a cookhouse. After about an hour's absence the mistress returned to the room and saw that the four defendants were still there. She noticed blood on their clothes and there were signs of & struggle having taken place. The first and fourth defendants, who came to the house in Japanese clothes, bad taken off their kimonos, and were dressed only in singlets and lain cloths. The third defendant, who wore Earop-an clothes, had ma eno change in his dress. A few remarks/passed between the mistress and the four men and the latter left the house, About 10.30 that night the second, third and fourth defendants went to deceased's house at 3*, Queen's Road East and asked the woman who lived with him where be was. She told them that she did not know, and they proceeded to seirch the house for him. They appeared to be excited and angry, and said they would kill him if they found him. After they had finished searching the house they went off, taking with them some swords found on the premises. In the early morning of the 10th April the second and third defendants were arrested in the Buddhist temple in Morrison Hill Road, and the day following, the first defendant was captured just »s he was preparing 1o go to Singapore, on the second floor of the honsa at 58, Connaught Road Central. The
fourth defendant was not arrested till the 19th ultimo, when he was found concealed in the coal bunker of the 8.8. Yengmo at Quarry Bay.
