Chung Sin by Assistant District Attor-
ney Ward yesterday, declared today
that there was no truth in the state
ment that Chung Sin had said he wit
messed the actual killing of Elsie Sige
by peeping through the keyhole and
looking over the transom from his
room adjoining. Yam Wick Nam said
on the contrary. that Chung Sin haG
stoutly maintained throughout the ex.
| animation that he was not a witness
of the crime.
Translator's Story.
Yam Wick Mans account of Chung
Sins story is to the effect that the
Chinaman. under the severe examina-
tion, said that he was in his own room
over the restaurant when Leon entered
and said:
The girl is dead.
Leon and Chung were in a position
to exchange condolences of this nature
the interpreter said. because both were
members of which were pledged to pro
tect each other as though they were
blood brothers. Upon learning that the
girl was dead Chung Sin. according to
Yam Wick Mans account of his testi-
mony. said he went with Leon to the
latters room.
There on the bed was the body of Elsie
Sigel. Chung Sin felt of her pulse and
found that life was extinct, although the
body was still warm.
There was some talk between the two
friends. the interpreters version of. Chung
Sins testimony ran, as to how the body
was to be disposed of. Chung refused to
have any part in the disposal and left the
room
Handkerchief Over Mouth.
When he entered Icons apartments
there was a handkerchief bearing reddish
stains over the girls mouth. Chung Sin
came back later and went again with
Leon into the ROOM
The body had disappeared, the witness
told his inquisitors. according to Van
Wick Nam. and Leon's trunk was in the
room securely tied. The interpreter added
that Chung maintained throughout that
he had no part whatever either in the
killing or placing the body in the trunk.
Yam Wick Nam. who is a merchant in
Pell street, expressed the opinion today
that Leon. will be captured. One New
York Chinaman. he said, had already ex-
pended 500 in messages to various ac-
quaintances of his in California. describ-
ing the fugitive and asking their assist
ance in locating him and securing his
arrest.

up the trunk with her body in it and
| left town with the murder secret on
| his conscience.
| 1t was by persistent, relentless ques-
| tioning, by never letting up on the willy
| Chung, that the authorities finally drove
| him to confusion and confession. To
| do SO they had to wear him to the ex-
treme of nervous exhaustion.
| Now they are forced to follow another
| plan. and to let Chung close his beady
oriental eyes and recuperate for a while.
So Chung Sin was not called early by
the jaler this morning.
Chung's story told yesterday in the
| office of Assistant District Attorney
| Ward was fairly hammered out of him
when the Chinaman had reached the
point of mental exhaustion where his
| numbed wits could no longer dodge and
| twist through the nets of the inquisition.
| 1t was a triumph, not of the cunning OF
the prosecution, but of the blunt, brutal
and time-honored police method of break
ing down a witness courage.
Test of Chung's Veracity.
1t is the turn of others to tell what
they know, to corroborate or to discred!t
Chungs story. Sun Leung, the employer
of Chung, will perhaps be able to answer
some important questions along these
lines.
Leungs restaurant, where he was COOK
at 1920 o'clock and hlst heard. then
by peeping through his door-saw what
was going on in Icons room, and that
after that he ran down into the restau-
rant again and stayed there till Leon
called him upstairs to help tie the trunk
holding Elsie Sigel's body.
The restaurant man will have to say
| whether Chung's convenient alibis are
| good, whether he was really on duty
downstairs until the moment when, he
| says, the murder was in progress, and
whether he came down second time
and kept out of crimes way until called
upstairs by Leon.
| Before being allowed to retire last night
after his confession that he had wit
messed the murder Chung Sin was taken
to the room where Elsie Sigel was killed
| In the dimness of the tragedy-haunted
| room he was forced to show, in detail
| how he had seen the girl done to death.
| Chung Sin showed the detectives the
keyhole of the door. separating his own

CONFESSION Is MODIFIED.
Chung Did Not Acknowledge THAI
he Saw Girl Murdered.

NEW YORK, June 23-The district at
torney's office gave out a statement to-
day modifying and to some extent chang
ing the unofficial published reports giving
the alleged circumstantial details of
Chung Sins confession in the Sigel mur-
der case.
According to this statement the story
told by Chung was not that he actually
saw the murder committed or that he
helped to bind up the trunk after Elsie
Sigers body had been placed in it.
He said he went to his room about !
o'clock that afternoon to lie down, and
that Leon came in soon afterward and
said that Elsie was dead. Chung asked
Leon what had happened and that the
latter replied that Elsie had bitten her
tongue and bled to DEATH
Saw Girls Body.
Chung said he went into the room and
saw the body. He felt of the mur-
dered girls hands and found them cold.
Then he went out and when he came
back he found Leon throwing clothing
out of the trunk, which he kept under
the bed.
Chung said he went out again. When
he returned he found the trunk bound
with rope, in the room and the body of
Elsie gone. He supposed that Leon had
placed the body in the trunk.
