fession by saying that Leon had told
him that Miss Sigel had promised to

Elsio's Letter to chu Gain.
Investigations along another line led
to the discovery OF the latest of the
letters written by Elsie Slgel to Chu
Gain, the Mott street restaurant kees-
er and the rival of Leon for her affec-
tions. This letter is said by the police
to be a sample of the others discov-
cred In Chu Gains place after he was
arrested 1t read as follows:
MY Dear Friend--I have been lying
awake all night trying to think what you
meant by what you said to me during the
performance last night. You know what
/ mean.
What do you mean by "artifcial?s I
want you TO tell me all about that OF
course we could not talk about 1t in tho
theater. Did you like THE Man From
Homer"
will see you tomorrow or the next day
sure.
Your little friend. ELSIE
This letter, according to the police,
is very much like most of those which
she also wrote to Leon Ling. Most of
the notes sent TO him as well as to
Chu Gain were addressed MY Dear
Friend" and some as my Dearest
Friend

mitted ls now believed by the police
there to lie well established fact

elares he is absolutely certain he was
