"Pick isn't going to be rushed into gaol until an investigation $s com-Pletely concluded. - We want to find Dat wwhag is at the back of thie charge, what the position of the police is. Have they been imposed upon? There must be something. It certainly deems very. strange that!
Chang should have made such a Telaled visit to police headquarters. T ask the Court to issue warrants for Chang and Ning and question them as to why they did this, who suggested it and what was their motive. have this to say in favour of the police. They have brought the negative to-day and that was what the Court wanted since the very beginning of the case. Now it brought in at the last minute. Something is wrong and I ask th Court to make a complete investigation."
Replying, Mr. Bryan said that he: wished to state that, so far as the police were concerned, they were very anxious to get to the bottom of the matter and, if Chang or Ning had done anything wrong, they would get their just deserts, but, from another viewpoint, it did not seem to counsel that it would make any difference whether Pick got the money from Chang or Ning. If the Court wanted to issue a warrant for these two men, counsel had objection whatever but it would mean only that there would be two more defendants in the dock, making five instead of three.
Mr. Schuhl:—That's right, Start all over again.
Mr. Bryan continuing, said, "But 1 do say this, that this development in the case simply proves that these defendants, especially Piek, have known all' along about this transaction and that Piek got the money from Ning. If the defendants are not guilty, I don't want to convict. them, bat, up to now, I am not sure that they' are not guilty. T am as anxious as Mr. Schuhl to get tothe behind Mr. That's right. 1 quite agree. This is the first time that Mr. Bryan and T have agreed since the beginning of this case.
ick (from the dock):—Clean man!
Mr. Schuhl:—Pick, will you keep quiet!
Mr Schuhl then stated that an examination of Ning's testimony would show that Ning had told the Court that he did not know Pick and that he could not identify him.
