LEON NAY BE IN LONDON.
american Tells Police of That City
He Sac Him IN Street.

London, July 16.-According 10 a report made by
a visiting American to the Scotland Yard authori-
ties, Leon. the Chinarnan suspected OF the murder
Of Elsie SigeI in New York June 9. was seen
yesterday outside jewellers snop near the Royal
Exchange.
This American. who wishes his name withheld
for the present told the police he knew Leon in
New, York and that he confident the China
man he saw yesterday was the same man When
the American caught sight of Leon he went up 70
a policeman standing near by and said:
That man is wanted for murder in New York;
go and grab him"
The policeman. however, did not act promptly
He appears TO have suspected the American OF
some uIterior motive. and while he hesitated the
Chinaman got away.
Scotland Yard showed a photograph OF Leon 10
the American who declared that he undoubtedly
was the man he had seen. He gave the police a
full description of the European clothes worn by
the Chinaman.
Photographs of Leon have been sent to all the
London police stations and an active search for
the Chinaman is being made.
Washington July ia cable dispatch 70 the
state Department to-day from Ambassador Reid at
london said that the British government would
like 10 know whether any request would be made
bv the United States for the extradition OF Leon
should he be apprehended bv the agents of that
government 1t cannot be ascertained that this
based information TO the
whereabouts Of Leon in the possession OF the Brit
ish government. which, together with other for
eign nations il is understood has been commun-
Gated with by the New York police in their efforts
TO locate the man. The inference Is that the Scot
land ward authorities simply desire to know If any
steps in the matter are worth their while.
