Police Expect Early Solution
Of Sigel Mystery.
CHINAMAN MADE THREATS
Celestial Suspected of Girls Murder
Called at Her Home the Day Before
Her Disappearance and Warned
Her to "stop Going" With Chu Gain
or He Would "kilI Him and Do
Something Else"

New York, June Speedy solu-
tfon of the mystery of the death of
Elsie Sigel is looked for as a result
of the arrest of two Cinnamon be.
lieved to be Leon Ling, or William
Leon, as he was known also, and
Chung Sin, his associate, the first at
Schenectady and the other near Am.
sterdam, N. Y.
Police officials having the case in
charge said after communicating with
the Schenectady police that they were
satisfied that the man arrested in that
city Is Leon Ling, in whose room the
body of Elsie Sigel was found. The
description Of the man under arrest
was stated to coincide in every partic.
ular with that of Leon, except that he
was few pounds less in weight. AS
to the other Chinaman under arrest at
West Galway the New York authori.
ties did not feel so positive.
When first interviewed In his cell
after being examined by the detectives
Leon was very cool and showed not
the slightest concern, but when a
newspaper man intimated to him that
his trunk
Had Been Found and Opened
he became excited, though exercising
a very evident effort to control him
self, and Indignantly demanded by
what right his trunk had been opened.
Up to that time he had firmly denied
that he had trunk.
The fact that Leon Ling called at
the Sigel home on Tuesday, June 8,
the day before Miss Sigel disappeared,
and threatened to kill Chu Gain I'M
less Elsie stopped going with him"
was made known by Paul Sigel, the
father Of the murdered girl. Mr.. Sigel
said also that he believed Elsie was
induced to visit Leon's room under
the representation that Leon was i'll;
that she was killed on the day she
left her home and that she did not go
to Washington. Mr.. Sigel said that
Leon was under the influence of liquor
when he called and that Elsie told
him she would have nothing to do
with him while he was in that condi-
ton. IF you don't stop going with
Chu Gain I will kill him and do some
thing else, too," Mr.. Sigel quoted Leon
as saying.

TWO MEN FOUND DEAD AFTER
FIERCE BATTLE
Belief Is Young Bridegroom Was Shot
by Companion Who Was Jeal-
Gus - Victim Then
Killed Him
[By Associated Press. ]

PORTLAND, Ore, March S.-A mys-
terious tragedy was reported today
when Mrs. Oscar Hiett, during a
search for her young husband who had
been absent from home all night Wis
tied a shooting preserve on Columbia
slough and there found the bodies OF
her husband and an old man named
John Dale.
A rife bullet has shattered the side
of Hiett's head and a deep wound on
the head from an AK disclosed the
cause of Dale's death.
Both men We're lying on the ground
near an old cabin, and between them
lay the ak and rife, the weapons used
in the slaughter.
Whether the old man shot the
Younger and then beaten with the ak
by Hiett until he dropped dead, or a
third man was the murderer may
never be known.
The former theory is held by the
police The old man and Hiett, hard
" entered upon his tWenties, had been
companions for a long time, until re-
Gently the younger took to himself a
wife.
After that the old man apparently
became jealous of the boys wife and
they quarreled frequently.
1t is alleged Dale offered Hiett many
Inducements to leave the young wom-
an. and told him that If anything hap
pened to him certain money that he
had buried on the shooting preserve
would go to Hiett when he died.
Recently he is alleged to have told
Mrs. Hiett that he would do some
thing that she would be sorry for.

PATRIOT CELEBRATED
ROBERT EMMETT AND JOHN
REDMOND COMPARED
President of Irish League of America
Extols Efforts of Great States
man to Unite His
People.

NEW YORK, March S.-Two celebra-
tions commemorative of the 131st ami
versary of the birth of Robert Emmett
were held in this city last night. The
United Irish league held a meeting at
the Lyric theater and the Clan-na Gael
gathered at the Herald Square theatcr.
Michael j. Ryan of Philadelphia, pres
ident of the United Irish league of
America, said during the course of an
address at the league celebration:
John Il. Redmond has done more to
advance the political, material, intel
lectual and industrial interests of Ire
land than any other man in the last
century.
Never since the day of Emmett has
the future of Ireland looked brighter
with the promise of victory than it
does today, under the leadership of
Redmond.
HE represent an Ireland united to an
extent unparalleled in all her checkered
history and he is the uhquestioned
leader of an organization that has done
much for the cause of Irish freedom.
IF Redmond would today forget the
cause for which Ireland is fighting he
would become the prime minister Of
England. Intellectually, he is the most
powerful man in all of the British en-
pire, and he is devoting all the talents
with which he has been endowed to
carrying on the work which was begun
by Robert Emmett more than hundred
years ago."

FIVE OF GANG OF SEVEN BE.
LIEvED SAFE IN JAIL
Authorities Deny knowledge of lncar-

Order to Secure Remainder

The final gang of holdup men
existing in Los Angeles is believed 10
be in Jail. At least all but two mem
bers of the gang of seven are, ana tne
police are we'll satisfied with thelr
work, although they expect to nave the
two missing members in the clutches
of the law within the next twenty-four
hours.
When Sergeants Adams and Sparks
arrested Joseph Gotta and Bert Carter
at Avenue Twenty-Five and the
Santa Fe tracks, Sunday night, for the
holdup and robbery of four people
within fifty minutes of one another on
the East Side, they made more I'M
portant catch than they realized at
that time. for the further inVestigatloh
of their records by the police and de-
tectives led yesterday to the arrest
of three other members of what Is
believed to be an organized gang.
Gotta and Carter were arrested Dy
Ssrgeants Adams and Sparks WITHIN
twenty minutes after they had held up
and robbed two men at Monte VISTA
avenue and Avenue FIFTY, and TWO
men in front of S7t0 Pasadena avenue.
The men were captured at Avenue
Twenty-Five and the Santa Re tracks
as they were hurrying from the scenes
of their crimes. At first they put up
a boil. front and disclaimed any
knowledge of why they should be ar
rested, but few minutes of incarcera-
ton in the tanks of the workhouse
broke their spirit of reserve, and they
confessed to the police they were
guilty of the crimes for which they
had been arrested, and then gave the
police information which led to the
arrest, yesterday morning, of G.. M.
Phillips, who was captured by De-
tectives Ingram and Carroll, and
Albert and Edward Trejo. who were
arrested by Detectives Jones, Boyd,
Talamantes and Rico.
All of these prisoners were placed in
detention. and last night the police
denied any knowledge of their arrest
or that any crime had been commit
ted which might cause the arrest OF
these people.
The reason for the secretiveness of
the police lies in the fact that the
detectives have yet been unable to
| locate and arrest two other members
of the gang, who are wanted in con-
nection with the dozen or more hold
ups which have recently been COM
mitted in the city.

Prison Board Appoints Former Cashier
of Pittsburg to Audit Books
and Alleged Discovery
Follows

PITTSBURG, March S.--Convicted
bankers, prisoners in the western
pe9itentiary here, have discovered an
apparent discrepancy of more than
$4,000 in the penitentiary accounts.
The board of visitors of the prison
appointed Henry Reiber, former pay
ing teller of the Farmers Deposit Ma
tional bank and now prisoner, to
audit the books some time ago.
Finding what he regarded as a dis
crepancy and being unwilling to as
sumo all responsibility, Reiber en-
gagged the assistance of William Mont
gomery, former cashier of the Alle-
gheny National bank, and j. B. f.
Rinehart, former cashier of the Farm
ers and rovers' National bank of
Waynesburg, Va, both convicts.
They agreed with him, it is said.
The board of visitors is awaiting the
return of Warden Johnson before
taking further action.
