A.H. McBride, Jailer – Being sworn saith
About ½ past 6 on Sunday a week ago last Sunday I was walking along First St and saw a Chinaman on the logs at Mr. Armstrong's Mill. He was jumping from one to another and some Chinaman on the road were talking to him. I met Mr. Carpenter and spoke to him for a short time when I heard a Chinaman shouting. I said to Carpenter ‘The Chinaman has fallen in’, we both ran to the place and saw a Chinaman struggling in the water about 14 or 15 feet from the corner of the Armstrong’s Wharf. A Chinaman threw a plank in but deceased did not grasp it. He gradually sank out of sight. Mr. A. Ewen offered a canoe to an Indian but the water was so deep that he seemed afraid to go in and try to get the body.
