Whom did you consider as the person who represented the insurance companies?—I looked to Chal-who signed the agreement, and to Wallace, who was in charge of the office.
How did you regard Spence?—At first he had nothing to do with the insurance business, but when Wallace went to Hankow, Spence signed for him.
In answer to Mr. Priestwood, witness said that on the day he commenced his duties as compradore, Wallace was in charge of the insurance business.
Witness heard that unless he advanced money, a new compradore would be put in. The suggestion wag that Wallace would bring in his own compradore.
"There was another compradore," witness told Mr. Mossop, "who was agreeable to pay more than I would."
