Boiler denied that he testified In

fired in rapid succession. He acknow-
lodged that he met curry in the corn

detective remarked "Go over and

The state objected to the defense
introducing as evidence, what Curry
said after the shooting Judge Babst
allowed the statements to be entered

Boiler was on the stand when court

ST. LOUIS. June 20.-Mrs. Rose SigeI
widow of Gen. Franz SigeTs youngest
brother, living in the retirement of her
old home here, today decried the ambi-
ton of her grandniece to do missionary
work in the Sums, but glorified the
girls motives, which she likened TO
those of her distinguished grandfather.
They tell me Elsie is dead she said.
I've tried for a whole day to realize

about her awful end.

NEW YORK. June 20.-Commissioner
Bingham saw the newspaper mer1 after
having spent most of the day going over
the mass of letters, picture posi- cards,
bills, Chinese documents. and Other pa
pers found in Icons trunk. He Sid he
could not permit publication of any Of
the letters at present. as the informa-
ton contained in them would be of
greater value to the police in their hunt
for the Cinnamon II not disclosed.
The commissioner secretary. Dan
Slattery, made the following statement:
Altogether we have found thirty-five
letters written TO Leon and signed Elsie.
They were all what I would call clean
love letters, but the endearing terms
she called the Chinaman were revolving
10 me. There was never mention in
any of the letters OF marriage, and II is
not true that she upbraided the China
man for his love growing cold. There
was nothing ike that in any of them.
Every one read just as If the China
man had been white man and decentIy
engaged to the Sigei girl.
From these thirty-fve letters, which
cover a period OF two years, we are con-
WINGED Elsie loved the Chinaman with
all her heart. and Leon either returned
her love sincerely or fooled her com
pletsly. We feel sure of this because
in all her letters the girl writes in 2
happy spirit and continually refers ia
former meetings at which they both
were evidently perfectly contented in
each others society.
No Mission Work
"Of peculiar significance is the fact
that not once in these thirty-five letters
does Elsie so much as mention her mis-
sionary work. There Is nothing in them
to indicate that either she or Leon re-
gsrded each other in the light of pupil
and teacher in the missionary sense
They were simply the ingenious love
notes of a girl madly in love with a
man she respected and evidently con-
sidered her equal in every way. But
for all that she does not ask him to
marry her or so much as refer to such
thing once.
Il can also say that we are satisfied
that Elise's father and mother both
knew all about their daughters rela-
tons with Leon. We know that the

NEW YORK, June 3o.-The news Of
The finding of the dead body Of Miss
Elsie Sigef. and the fact that a China
man was supposed TO have done the
killing. has upset Chinatown COM
pletely.
With the grim, cool elaboration char
acteristic OF the race, they discussed to-
day the tragedy among themselves, hut
ali conversation was Immediately hush
ed. although II was in Chinese, on the
approach OF a white man. From early
yesterday morning and all through last
night and today, Capt Mike" Calvin,
OF the Elizabeth street station and his
squad Of plain clothes men were on the
scene trying to obtain some trace Of The
missing Leon. Every suspicious place
was ransacked from top TO bottom, IN
til the whole of Chinatown had been
gone over with a fine comb.
Standing in the center of Pell street.
Captain Calvin directed the movements
of his men, hearing their reports, and
thinking up new schemes to trap the
man If he was in the district. They got
no help from the residents OF China
town.
do you know Leon?' asked Calvin Of
one Chinaman, who stood on the corner
reading the latest account Of the trag-
edy from late afternoon paper.

'.Me no speakee Inglish,' said the yell
low one, with a sickly smile.
Can you beat that?' said Calvin.
There is a guy reading the baseball
news and laughing himself to death
over the cartoons in an English news
paper, and he goes and tells me he
can't understand American. Beat it,!
he yelled 10 the Chinaman, who i'm
medfately disappeared down the street.
~ ell, he understands that any way
said Calvin.
That the missing man was not well
known in Chinatown was fully proven
by Calvin in his Investigations. Tom
Lee, Of Boston, and Gin Gum well
known in the Chinese colony, when
shswn his picture, said that they re-
membered such a man several years
back, but that he had not been seen
around for two years at least 1t is the
usual custom for Chinese living away
from Chinatown to visit there over Sat
uTdsy and Sunday to get their prOvi-
sions and incidentally hop, for the
coming week. but Leon was never no
