xLsIE's LETTERS SUGGEST THE MOTIVE,
With Chung prisoner and the motive
pretty we'll explained. the detectives
were gayer and a lot less talkative than
they had been. The motive, Leung Lim's
Jealousy because of Chu Gains progress

It seemed absolutely certain to the
detectives that Leung Lin became in
certain that Elsie was playing two strings
10 her bow. From several sources Of in
formation they gathered that Leung
hadn't known until quite recently that
Chu Gain was suppianting him In the
eiris affections. The police got a story
Yesterday that Chung Sing was the tattler.
Chung. II appears. had worked for Chu
Gain and had been supplied with money

heard, he went to the Sigel home with

Chu was rooming with Leung Lin at Sun

It has been established that Chung took
