10 That the Trunk Remained In
Newark for One
Night.

New York. June 37.--On the ninth
day after the discovery OF Elsie Sigers
body, and presumably the. eighteenth
day after the crime was committed,
the New York police are obliged to
admit tonight that, IL anything, they
are q little further from any clue TO
he whereabouts of Leon Ling, the man
who Is thought to have killed her, than
on the afternoon when her body was
found wedged In q trunk in the rooms
of Chinaman in Eighth Avenue. They
still believe. however, that he Is sure
to be run down.
The most significant fact of the case
Is that there Is absolutely nothing to
indicate when or how Leon Ling left
the city. II it Is argued that he still
remains here, hidden In the rooms OF
some friend, It can be answered that
every house In Chinatown has been
searched room by room and every wall
ana floor sounded. No isolated laun-
dry or restaurant has been overlooked.
The information coming from New
ark yesterday that Leon Ling left the
trunk In q restaurant there has been
substantially confirmed, with slight
alterations In details and hours; but
Il only makes the case more puzziing.
1t appears today from the books OF the
Lawrence Cab Company that Ii Sing
the restaurant keeper, oio hccopt thc
trunk and that he kept II In his place
for twelve hours. although he has de-
MED It..
But police investigation shows that
the trunk was taken to Newark be-
tween midnight. June O. and q. m.
OF June TO- and remained there until
the afternoon Of the 10th. This places
the time Of the murder day ahead
of the time previously hxed by the
police, -ad on the same day that the
girl disappeared from home.
James r. Halsteed. the Newark cabby
who drove Leon Ling and the trunk
back AFTER its twelve hours rest in
Newark, has positively Identified the
trunk In which the body was found
