NEW YORK, june 23.-In the
dim, close room of Leong Ling,
with its scarlet satin red bed can
opy, its grinning green and gold
josseS, its picture of the Madonna
looking down on the scene where
the dead body of Elsie Sigel was
found packed in trunk last Fri
day, Chung Sing, roommate of
Leon, today re-enacted the brutal
murder of the girl by Leon as he
claims he saw it through the key
hole of his room, adjoining.
Stolidly smoking a cigarette, and
occasionally cra7king his Yellow
visage into a sartonic- smile, he de-
scribed the strangling of the girl as
she lay on the bed in the shadow of
the red canopy, but denied he had
anything to do with the killing or
that he had any knowledge of
the Whereabouts of his missing
countrynan. District Attorney Je-
rome and the police are confident,
however, that Chung has not told
all he knows. and they announced
that they intend to keep at him with
the third degree until he tells all he
knows.
Led to Leong's Room.
After his partial confession, told
District Attorney Jerome yester-
day. Chung was kept under

discovery of the body. with an air
of nonchalance.
He was closely followed by the police

Carey. and he jumped for the China

the life out of him. Then Chung wilted.

Then In answer to question after ques-

1t is good sign when public
sentiment and the journals of this
State severely criticise and con.
denim the acts of a public official
who brutally assaults a minister
of the gospel who criticises the
official acts of the public officer.
Such an outrageous assault Is not
only a denial of free speech, but
also the right of a citizen to crit.
else the acts of a public official.
