ELSIE sIGEL's VlsCERA.
Chemical Analysis Has Detected
Presence or Poison.

4 r
f New York, July ia chemical ana
lysis by Prof. Geo. Ferguson OF Column
@bia. university has detected the pres
5ence 3of poison in the vital organs of
Elsie Sigel, who was murdered in the
room of Leon Ling. and whose body
was packed in a trunk. Further chem
3ical tests are being made to determine
the nature of the poison.
This disclosure by Prof Ferguson
confirms the evidence submitted to the
police 10 days ago that Chinaman
tried to buy poison at a drug store
near the Chinese restaurant over which
the girl was murdered and that this
effort to procure the poison was made
on the day before Elsie Sigel was killed.
Another drug store near the restaurant
filled prescription for q. Chinaman
for a powerful irritant poison the night
before the girl was murdered.
The result of the chemical analysis
of the riscera is the first absolute proof
the police have had that Elsie sigel was
poisoned before her body was strapped
up and packed in the trunk. A post
inortem examination led the coroner to
declare that the girl had been strangled
to DEATH. Strangulation might have
been the direct cause of DEATH but Prof.
/ Ferguson has established the fact that
the young missionary worker was I'M
der the influence of a powerful drug at
the time she was strangled.
