Drunk and incapable; cautioned and dismissed, Which itself was some distance from the pool of blood. The mark was about the size of a small hand, but the stain was extended. I did it. looked at the pool of blood fairs; I did not there observe the impression of a hand, but I did not look narrowly. Nothing was placed over the pool, which was extensive and thick, but, Dein, coagulated, it was rather difficult to judge the amount of it. 1 could not tell exactly how deep it was, it would require great nicety of instrument to measure it. I noticed blood on all the walls of the room, and the spots were thickly strewed. They were generally not the size of a pea, some as small asa pin head. I did not notice spots radiating from the pool.
His Worsur said Counsel should bear in mind that Dr. Johnston went to hold a post-mortem, not to examine the premises.
Cross-exam. cont.—The Est of clothes I examine is contained in the deposition. I remember them perfectly. (Speaks to them.) They were all either under lock and key or in sealed packet. My memory does not serve as to which articles were under one and the other. [looked over all the clothes, and all were impressed with blood marks. 1 am shown a piece of cloth of apparently the same fabric as the trousers, can't say without chemical examination whether the spots on it are blood, it looks like it, but after seven or a certain number of days it becomes exceedingly difficult to tell, and the result of examination then becomes less reliable. The sample is mi note, but mot more minute than those examined.
Me, Mitre said it was palpably not blood, ho would take his oath on that.
Warxzss thought Mr. Miller was a little ture in his conclusion. How could he declare that on oath unless he had chemically examined it?
Mr. Minter declined to be cross-examined by a witness.
Wrrxess equally declined to accept Counsel's assertion, and continued regarding the piece of cloth handed to him—I found spots on the trousers larger than that, not many, but many smaller. Teut out a piece having the largest number of spots on one area, {should say not one of the pieces represented a single spot.
To Covrr.—The chemical test showed the spots tobe blood, in all cases where it was reliable; in others the spots were too, mi note, but I still think they were blood. I should have expected more blood on the clothes of a person standing within " few feet of the person struck. I am surprised not to find more blood on the clothes of a person charged with this offence.
To Mr, Lrrewrieup.—I should have expected to find more on that part of the clothes from the crutch of the trousers to the top stud. I have found almost no spots there except on the shirt. I cut out most of the spots from below the knee of the trousers. (Shirt and trousers produced.) Several small pieces are taken from the shirt, but only one, from below the upper stud.
Wirtraa Fowuer, cross-examined by Mr. Muuuer, stated I do not suffer from dear: ness. On the Sunday I visited prisoner in his coll, when I inquired if he had got his dinner, he asked me if I knew whether his wife had been buried. I replied I did not know, but I thought not, His reply was that there was hothing in the world he would like #0 well. og to see how she had been battered up. I swear that was his answer. I was nob deaf thenner amI now. I had no object in saying him "what is that you say?" I said so thinking he probably would repeat it again, There was no one outside listening, When hho said hie should like to see the way she was murdered, T Gil not ask him to repeat that did not see the use of doing so. I am not getting up the ease, I know Tendon road:
have seen black mea there in my life. I should not call " Manilaman a black man.
Mr. Miture asked what he was then? He could not be called green, The Police were getting up this ease, and goomad to apply the motto—nimium ne erode colon. They found a black man anda black man was to be hung, Mr. Srnipxixe thought that a very uncalled for remark. The Police had no interest what ever in the prosecution, beyond doing their clu Wirxuse.—I consider a Manilaman a dark coloured, not a black man, If 1 met him on a dark night I could not very well distinguish him froma black man. Idon't know that Tiendong Road is or i not frequented by dark men or black men. I saw the house on Saturday evening after the murder, I did not examine to see if any of the windows were at all broken. did not see any pieces of brick or tile about the place, I cannot say if there were any in the upstairs room or on the table, T have been on duty on the Hongkew side, and. Tam familiar with the Tiendong Road. One side is Chinese, the opposite is foreign-built. Most of the Chinese houses ate respectable after crossing the Woosung road they are, of different class, Ciendong road is not more under the supervision of the Police than any other. Itis a main thoroughfare and all classes of people frequent it.
Mr. Minter pressed for a distinct answer to the question whether, at certain hours of the night, disreputable persons were not to be found on that road.
Witness said he never saw any he could openly accuse of be reputable characters, Mr. Srarpirxe said he might admit, if it were at all material, that disreputable people were sometimes to be found in the Tiendong Road. Mr. Fowler did not perhaps know the locality quite as well as he did.
