the money from her.
According to her complaint to the
police Melvin had come to her house to
engage a room and when she asked
for a deposit of a dollar, he reached
into his pocket and asked her If she
had change for a ten dollar bill. He
produced no money from his pocket
but she had gone for the change and
returning Melvin grabbed the 50 and
showing it into his pocket hastily left
the place. The police set about imme-
diately and captured the man they sus-.
pected. booked him at the station for
investigation and telephoned her to
come over and identify him.
AS soon as she saw Melvin she said
he was the man and his charge was
changed to robbery from the person,
But Melvin protested his innocence and
denied any knowledge of the woman or
her house only once letting his tenn
per get away and almost committing
himself. That was when she had told
of the horribly mean way in which he
had acted and point blank asked him
several things which tended an insult,

POLICE JOTTINGS.

A great deal of congratulatory COM
ment was made Monday as the officers
of the police department led the grand
parade up Kansas avenue and not a
| little was due to their pressed and spot
less new uniforms though their week OF
conscientious training spoke more for
their appearance. The men think the
praise partially, at least, merited, but
as to the uniforms, Topeka paper
gave all the credit to Wolff the tailor
and the men who got their clothes else
where at friendly prices think that
some credit should be diverted from its
present resting place and be shifted to
the August Clothing company which
furnishes large portion of the police
outfittings. And more than that the
new uniforms which attracted atten-
ton have been gathered to the force
piecemeal-a coat or a pair of trousers
at a time and not in one glorious show
er. The white gloves of the dress
parade are kept in stock at the station
and handed out on occasion.
John Kaberline tried last evening for
keeping a nuisance in the free beer
drinking he held at his house in Little
Russia in celebration of his Cousins
wedding the night before was dis
missed until June 10 when the city is
expected to have their ordinance ready
in accordance with the law. There was
doubt whether he was guilty of main
tanning a nuisance and the new ordi-
nance will be tried out on the case.
John SPAIN, the other arrested revel-
er charged with being drunk. was dis
charged.
According to the evidences about the
police station there is day of reck-

morrow for one of them. N. Leach, in
moving a house along Eleventh street
broke a number of huge limbs off the
trees in the park of Fred Walker, the

excuse for breaking the trees which ii
there was, would not make it lawful &c

on Leach before night. There have
been many complaints of the destruc-

VICTIM OF MURDER IN CHOP

Days Ago, Is Choked to Death
Three Days Afterwards in
Her Admirers Room.

New York, June 20.-The authori.
ties of Colon and Panama, are watch
ing those ports to capture Leong Lee
Lin, alias William H. Lion, a Chinese
who occupied a room in an Eighth
avenue house, in which was found the
body of Miss Elsie Sigel, 20 years old,
the granddaughter of Gen. Franz Sigel.
strangeled and packed in a trunk. The
police learned that Linn loved Miss
Sigel, who had converted him, and
that she reciprocated his admiration
IN measure was shown by letters
found in the room with the body.
Linn started for Vancouver, by way
OF Panama, a week ago Friday, when
he was last seen in his room above
the Eighth avenue chop suey restau-
rant. With him is Lii Chung, who oc-
cupied room adjoining that in which
Miss Sigels body was found, and
other Chinese. Chung is also sought
by the police.
Crime Committed Week Ago.
From the condition of the body and
other facts it is believed the crime
was comitted at least week before
the body was found.
From Mrs. Margaret Todd, mis-
sionary who first introduced Miss
Sigel into the work of converting the
residents of Chinatown to Christianity
the police learned that while the
young woman taught Leong Lee Linn
the creed of Christ. he at the same
time learned to love her. From MIS-.
Todd's statement and letters found in
the ROOM where the girl had been
strangled, partially stripped and
wedged into an old trunk, it has been
discovered Leong Lee Linn was not the
only admirer Elsie Sigel had.
A letter to Elm threatened him with
death if he did not cease his atten-
lions to the young missionary.
Although Mrs. Paul Sigel unhesitat-
ingly identified the jewelry and pieces
of clothing found in the room as those
of her daughter, the father refused to
believe that the victim was his child.
He is said to have started for Wash
ington in the hope of finding Elsie
Sigel alive. Ten days ago a telegram
was received from her at Washington,
saying she would be home in two
days. When she did not arrive the
police were notified of her disappear
ance.
Mrs. Sigel was so affected by the
news of her daughters fate that today
she is Frustrated and under the care
of physicians and nurses.

CALHOUN's CASE TO JURY
MILLIONAIRE STREET CAR PREsI-
DENT CHARGED WITH BRIBERY.
Record of Trial Contains More Than
Four Million Words and Cost
Exceeds $4,000.

San Francisco, June 20.-Conclud-
ing the greatest issue in the history
of San Francisco's graft scandal, the
case of Patrick Calhoun, millionaire
president of the United Railways,
charged with bribery, was given to
the jury shortly after noon Saturday,
after trial that dates back to Jan
uary IL, 1909.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
j. Heney, in a session of court that
opened an hour before the usual time,
added materially to an argument that
had already extended over period of
is hours before Judge William H.
Lawlor began his charge to the jury
few minutes before IL o'clock
Every faction of municipal politics
and every shade of bitter sentiment
! that has arisen since the overthrow
of Boss Abraham Ruef three years
ago, was represented in the over
WIDENING throng that stormed the
doors of Carpenters hall when court
assembled. Mounted policemen rode
into the crowds again and again, and
a full company of patrolmen inside
the building and out was scarcely able
to preserve order.
When Heney faced the jury the hall
was packed to suffocation Men and
women prominent in every detail of
the citys life, who had fought for en-
trance, stood in remote corners. In
the street hundreds were marshaled
in line by the police, denied even the
privilege of remaining in the vicinity
of the hall.
Notable in History.
Not alone because of the exciting
bitterness that has marked many of
its stages, but because of its length,
has the trial ben notable one in
western history. Between January 12,
when the attempt to secure the first
juryman was instituted, and Saturday,
when the case was given to the -
men, five months and week elapsed
and 1853 days had interviewed.
OF this period ITO days had been
devoted to court sessions. In this re-
spect the case outstrips every record
established in the case of Abraham
Ruef, who was convicted after 76
days actual court procedure.
A thirteenth juror, Michael Murphy,
was added to the regular panel of IL
by order of Judge Lawlor, with the ex-
pectation that his services might be
required by emergency. Three months
and two days were necessary to quail
ify the 10 jurors. OF the 2,310 citi-
zens summoned by the sheriff, 1923
were actually subjected to interroga-
ton by the attorneys in the case.
