MORE OF THE CONFESSION.
Actual Description of How the Crime
 Was Committed.

New York, June 22.-More of Chung Sins confession became known late tonight, giving the actual description of how the murder was committed.
 Elsie Sigel, the girl, was on the bed" said the Chinaman, while his hearers drew closer in mortified sus- pense, 'and Leon was bending over her. A handkerchief was sticking out of her mouth and I saw the 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 al most overcome with the thought that Chung Sin could have stood by in an adjoining room without raising a hand to prevent it.
 One version of the Chinaman's con- fession, it is said, he admitted helping Leon Ling tie the trunk, although de- nying that he aided him in placing the body in it. He also admitted giving most of the money which he borrowed from Gain to Leon Ling to aid the latter in his flight from New York
