he said that Leon Ling and Chu Gain
had come to blows over the girls love
several weeks ago. -rne police theory
is that Leon killed the girl because
of her attentions to Chu Gain. Chu
Gain, who was released from custody
this morning, was later rearrested at
the instance of the coroner as ma

out of her mouth and l saw blood on
it. She was fighting with him, but
he only pressed the handkerchief
harder into her mouth. Finally she
struggled no more and lay still and
Leon stood up and looked down at
her."
Those who heard this recital were
almost overcome with the thought
that Chung could have stood by and
not raised a hand to prevent it. In

THIRD DEGREE
BARES STORY
Of tLSlt SiGfHS MURDER
Chung Sin Saw All But Actual Com
mission of Crimc-Grewsome
Details of Death.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Baited and
inundated by detectives, threatened
with prosecution, and confused by a
rapid fire of questions, Chung Sin, one
time roommate of Leon Ling, told this
afternoon of Elsie Sigel's murder.
Under the terrific pressure of "the
third degree" the little Chinaman ad-
mitted he had seen the body in Leon
Ling's room; that he had touched it
while still warm; that he had smelled
the drugs and that he had watched
Leon Ling's preparations for placing
the body in the trunk where it was
found decomposed last Friday night.
Chung Sin, it was learned, at the
criminal courts disclosed almost ev-
erything concerning the murder eX-
cept the actual commission of the
crime. He denied any completely in
it and protested stoutly that he is ig-
norant of the whereabouts of Ling,
the supposed murderer. He was held
in $4,000 bonds to await an inquest
1t was not until he had undergone
the ordeal for long time that
Chung's spirit was sufficiently broken
or sufficient inducements were offered
for him to cast aside the air of of
stolidness and tell of the death of the
young missionary. The Chinaman
then with brutal bluntness told of the
girls death to Assistant District Attor
ney Ward and District Attorney
Jerome. From what can be learned
it was Jerome himself who finally
drew the story from Chung's lips.
From his story it is apparent that
Elsie was first drugged with chloro-
form and then choked to death. She
was killed apparently on the night of
June 8, although Chung appeared a
little mixed on his dates. He says
early on the morning of June 10 he
heard strange noise in Icons room
and, looking over the transom, saw
the girl lying on Il bed with a blood
stained towel over her mouth He
passed through the room on his way
to go and wash and as he did so he
placed his hand on the girls body,
which was still warm. Leon in the
meantime had covered the girls body
with a blanket up to the chin and
had pulled a trunk to the middle of
the floor
Chung said he went downstairs,
where he was when Leon called him.
When he entered the room the body
was not visible. having been bound
with a rope and placed in the trunk
Chung denied rendering any assist
ance in placing the body in the trunk
when | asked Leon" he continued
how she died he said she had bitten
her tongue and bed to death" Leon
told him. Chung added that he was
going to send the trunk to Jersey
City and thence to Europe. AS a mat
ter of fact it lay in the stuffy little
room until Sun Leong noticed the
Odor and summoned the police.
Despite repeated interrogations
Chung Sin declined to say just what
happened in the room when the girl
was murdered. He did say that Elsie
went there alone and that Leon did
not take her there He did not answer
the question whether she was in love
with Leon or Leon with her, but he
indicated however that the girl had
sought the Chinaman.

The unknown Italian fled after giving

any more questions, saying he would
be killed if he did The same fear
was expressed by Nardrs wife, also
