only one car moved in Pitts

NEW YORK OFFICERS
CANNOT FIND
CH|KAMAN
DEPARTMENT is FARTHER THAN
EVER FROM CLEW TO LEON
LlNG's WHEREABOUTS.

New York, June 27.-On the ninth
day after the discovery of Elsie
Sigel's body and presumably the 18th
day after the crime was committed,
the New York police are obliged to
admit tonight they they are further
than ever from any cleW to the where
abonts OF Leon Ling, the Chinaman
who is thought to have killed her
The most significant fact of the case
is that thcre is absolutely nothing to
Indicate when or how Leon Ling left
the city However, every house in
Chinatown has been searched room
by room, and every well and floor
sounded. No isolated laundry or
restaurant has been overlooked.
The information coming from New
ark yesterday that Leon Ling left the
t'vnk in a restaurant there has been
substantially confirmed with slight
alterations in details and hours. but
it only makes the case more puzzlns.
1t appears today from the books of
the Lawrence Cab company that Ii
Sing, the restaurant keeper did ac-
cept the trunk and that he kept it in
his place 12 hours, although he has
denied it. But police investigation
shows that the trunk was taken to
Newark between midnight June and
!, Il. m, of June 10 and remained there
until the afternoon of the 10th This
places the time of the murder a day
ahead of the time previously fixed
by the police and on the same day
that the girl disappeared from home.
