invariably saw her wearing jewellery she wore Gold Bracelets on her wrists and Golden Rings on her fingers. I searched for Jewellery but could not find none. I last saw Sue[Su__?] on the Monday or Tuesday previous the Wednesday . My impression is that the body of the dead woman is that of Sue [Su__?]. I saw a large cut on the left side of her head. There was some mens and womens charred clothing found in the said house . There was also a lot of old China Boots(or Shoes). To Mr. [Geb__?] I cannot say that I was ever able to recognize the body of Sue [Su__?] after the fire. My impression is that the fire originated in Sue [Su__?] bedroom, toward the centre of the rooms and the floor on the outside of the bed is more burned than on any other part of the floor. I account for my breaking through the floor, by its having been burned, and I went through some distance. [Signature Illegible] Interpreter to prisoner by Yip South.
