Constable M.J. CONDON CALLED & SWORN

Q. 1 What is your full name? A. Michael John Condon. I am a Provincial Constable stationed at Alberni, in the County of Nanaimo. On Thursday, January 18th, I proceeded to Canoe Pass, on instructions from Sergeant Markland, to investigate the death of one Chinese at Shingle Bolt Hill at that place. On the 19th of January I went to Camp #2. Incidentally there are two Chinese camps at this place; one camp at the beach, which you call Camp #1, and one camp in the woods, approximately one and a half miles away. I went to Camp #2, accompanied by Constable Frost.
