he sleeps in the house. I asked him why he did not put out the fire. He made no reply. John Reece told me to go and look at the blood. I then went down and look at the place where it was beaten down hard and kicked up the snow and found blood four inches deep. Then I came to Ah Maw's house and asked him were all that blood came from. He said he did not know. I then went up town with Mr Metcalf.

On the 15th May I came up to the store to get some things. I saw Ah Maw at the store. He told me that he killed Ah Hing and wanted me to call a meeting of all the chinamen to see how much money he should send to the chinaman's mother so that the chinamen should not have put in gaol. I talked to every one of the chinamen.

About two weeks ago he sent for me to see him in gaol. I went to the gaol and saw him and asked him what he wanted. He told me to see all the chinamen and take him out of gaol. I told him I could not do it I would wait till the judge come down. He told me he had plenty of money to send to Ah Hing's mother.
