Q Where did you see him ? A J saw him out-side there.

Q At the morgue  ? A And lot other people go to see him too. Witness aside. MR. TAYLOR: I ask leave to reserve my cross-examination of this witness until after the other witnesses are examined. We might possibly finish with the other side by one o'clock, COURT: Till when do you want to reserve your

 cross-examination ?      A      Until the other Chinese

witnesses are examined. COURT: All right, I see no objection to that. I would advise that you give him to understand you will want to cross-examine him later on, and he is not to go out of the room. ——- WONG WING FOOK, a witness on behalf of the prosecution having been duly called and questioned by the Interpreter stated that the form of oath which him was most binding on him was the Bible, Mr. Taylor objects to this form of oath being administered on the ground that owing to the witness not having proven to his satisfaction that he was a follower of the Christian religion he was not entitled to this form of oath being administered, as he did not consider it would be the most binding. The court held that it would be bound to swear witness by the oath as mentioned above. BC Archives GR-0419 BRITISH COLUMBIA. ATTORNEY GENERAL. Box 100 File 1904/10 Attorney General documents.
