44U r.
NEW YORK, June 2S.-If the state
ment made by Chung Sing last night,
accusing Leon Ling of having killed
Elsie Sigel has given the authorities
any tangible clue to the hiding place
of Leon, the police have not made it
known. and 1t has resulted in no ar
rest.
Today Chung Sling was taken to the
Eighth avenue restaurant, where the
girl was killed, and part of the guess
tfoping Of the prisoner was carried
ON in the very room in which the MUIR
der was committed. :
by Chung and even after he apparently
gave in under the incessant accusa-
tions and questions of the police, Chung
is quoted as asserting that he does not
know where Leon fled after tying Miss
Sigel's body in the trunk, although he
admitted giving Leon the larger part
of $3.50 which Chung had borrowed
from Chu Gain.
The renewed activity of the police,
during and after Chung's statement
might Indicate, however, that the China
than the police have allowed to become
public. There was much .teIegraphIng
about the country by the police today,
Following Chuns's story tina he saw
Leon ~strangIing the young woman.
Important Arrest Today
During the questioning of Chung Sing
hurried messages were sent to several
cities, and it was believed that Chung
had told where Leon Ling might be
found. Inspector McCnGerty admitted
that an important arrest was expected
To-day.
Chung's reluctance in telling the
facts, his evident first intention to deny
that he knew anything at all about the
murder, and his extraordinary indiffer-
ence as to the terrible fate of the young
woman, all convince the police that he
has by no mean told all he knows
abou the murder Further attempts
to make him divulge the facts which
the police most desired-those giving a.
clue to Icons hiding place-will be
made. but there seems to be scant hope
of getting any useful information.
"Elsie Sigel, the girl, was on the
bed" said the Chinaman, while his
hearers drew closer in Mortified sus-
pense, land Leon he was bending over
her. A handkerchief was sticking out
of her mouth, and I saw the blood on
1t. she was lighting with him, but he
only pressed the handkerchief harder
into her mouth. Finally she struggled
no more and lay still and Leon stood
up and looked down at her"
