Defendant Sees Wife

Mr, D'Almada and Inspector Carey then left the Court, but returned shortly after, when the former asked permission for defendant to be seen by his wife, brother and sister.

Inspector Carey raised no objec-lion, and permission was granted.

Besides Mr, Li Fuk-chang, who was arrested on June 17, there have been three other arrests in connection with the murder. Two mien, Ko Wah-tak and Leung Wong, both unemployed, were apprehended some time ago. Another man, named An Hing, was arrested in the New Territories on June 24 in connection with this case.

With the exception of An Hing, all the accused have already appeared at the Kowloon Magistracy, bùt. the formal hearings took place unknown to the Press or public, it being considered necessary, in the interests of justice, not to notify the Press the date or time of the hearings, as the police enquiries had not been completed. Remands were granted in each ci Ko Wah-tak, who was arrested in Des Voeux Road Central on June 10, and who, it is understood, will be defended by Mr. Peter H. Sin, and Leung Wong, who was taken" into custody at Mongkok two days earlier, was to be brought before the Court on Tuesday morning.
