Revision as of Aug 14, 2024, 1:47:37 PM, edited by 172.24.170.1
the game has been going on in this house for several months and accused has been boss and I know the money was his' I can't say how often I have been in, perhaps once in three weeks, once in two weeks or once in one week; I used to work in two tan houses watching the door, only two in this town; I say the money belonged to the accused because he brought it in.
To the Court:
I followed immediately behind the accused in to the tan house on the 28th ult. and heard him order the gas to be lighted.
Ah Wing, Interpreter.
