was emphatic in denying that Chung
Sin had been put under the screws =
or that he had been in any way
threatened or intimidated,
Those who knew Elsie Sigel best,
believe she was sincere in her mis-
sion work and her relations with the
Chinese up TO the day of her death
Mrs. Florence Todd of the Bowery
settlement for girls has never varied
from her assertion of that belief.
Chu Gain, who lived in terror of
his jealous rival. Leon Ling, and had
known both the girl and her mother
for years, is OF the same belief. AS
sistant District Attorney Ward is in
elined to the theory of Quon Yick
Nam, the Interpreter, who thinks
that the girl was lured to Leon
room by report of his feigned i'll
ness and her refusal to see no more
Leon had been enraged by her cold
ness and her refusal to see more of
OF Chu Gain, his weathier rival
The chloroform, the woman be-
lieves, was worked too well and when
Leon found he could not revive Elsie,
he bound her with a cord and Wedged
the body into the trunk. In spite OF
this theory is the pathetic and NOV
ing prayer written on a mission let
ter head, which the girl left for her
mother on the day she went to her
death. It SENS impossible, ii is ar
gued that girl going on any but a
righteous mission, could have written
such a note
The discovery that Leon was bred
an actor and the knowledge that an
Chinese actors are trained to take fe-
male parts did not on second thought
greatly impress the police with the
idea that he would disguise himsef.
Chinese women in this country are
notably scarce and the very fact 'ha1
one had been seen travelling would
excite curiosity 1t is much more
probable the police believe that then

cook or has worked his way south
into some Of the obscure colonies
