Q Do you know the two accused?
A I do.
Q I want you to relate to the Court what occurred on the 27th June in which the two accused figured.
A Well about 1.45 on the morning of the 28th June, there was a Chinaman came running along Powell Street East toward Dunlevy Avenue; I saw him coming around, and I stopped him and asked him what was wrong; he pointed for me to go down Dunlevy Avenue, North, and the witness here came up and said "there is something wrong."
MR RUSSELL: How does he know what the Chinaman said; did he speak English?
Q Did the Chinaman speak English?
A No sir; he pointed to come down. I went down there and I saw three Chinamen, about fifty yards south of the C. P. R. tracks coming up Dunlevy Street; them two carrying a gun apiece they had a bag, and I questioned them what they had in the bags; they made no reply, then the two pulled revolvers; Lee Sing he pointed a revolver at me and made a move to get something out of his pocket.
Q Pointed a revolver at whom?
A He put his hand in his pocket, and I took no chances with him; There was a revolver right in front of my stomach; I came down with my baton and his revolver dropped and he said something in Chinese to the other Chinaman and the other Chinaman threw his revolver in the bushes; we then got into a scrap.
Q Which revolver was it pointed at you; whose was it.
A Lee Sing's.
Q Which is Lee Sting?
A The stout one.
Q He had a nickle plated revolver?
A Yes.
MR KENNEDY: I will ask to have this revolver marked as Exhibit "A" for identification.
