CHUNG LEE
A Chinaman's Word-Picture That En-
abled Detective to Catch His Man

If you could describe To me to
tai stranger and do it so accurately
and infinitely that | could 20 into q
crowd and pick him ont, what wuula
you call your performance? Elo
quenee?' asked Detective Lee KilIlan
of st. Louis. Wei, that's what
Chung Lee did, and he wasn't elo
quont, for he did it in pidgin English
and what's more, Lee had seen the
| man only once, and then only for a
minute and he carried the mental
picture Of him three days before civ
! ing it to me, And besides, he was inst
an ordinary man, neither thin nor
fat, short nor tall; had no distinguish
! ing mark az all. That's why | say
Chung Lee IL a wonder.
In ST Louis they call Killian IA
. Their confessor TO the Chinese because
they tell him their secrets. The secret
of his success with the Chinese is
that his given name Is Lee, A name
common among the Chinese. The
Chinese are fond of their cousins.
They call Killian Cousin Lee
