railings. Horse and rider take posi-
tion on this platform. Slowly the
balloon ascends to the dome Of the
arena, the picture of the horse and it's
rider calling to ones mind the myth
illogical tales Of Germany's war heroes.
Pleasure gives way to surprise and
then to fear as 1t Is realized that
should the horse become nervous there
is nothing to prevent his taking step
1t would precipitate himself and his
rider to the ground far below.
With this realization comes the very
thing that would make the animal
nervous-the explosion Of a series Of
rockets attached to the platform. The
shower of fireworks envelopes horse
and rider. Involuntary comes an
audible gasp from the on-lookers,
which is relieved as the ba1lon reaches
the ground and the beautiful animal
and his fearless rider are seen 70 be
all right. Then there sweeps through
out the arena salvo OF applause Of
the most enthusiastic kind. In Ger
many this act was extolled as the best
arenic number that the world had ever
seen. The man who knows anything
about horses win say the same thing.
There are other great acts In which
horses take part on the circus pro-
gramme. From Hungary come KArol-

to this city, he was piled with ques-
tions. 1t was not until late today
however, that his spirit was sufficient
ly broken, or sufficient inducements
were offered, as the case may be, for
him to cast aside his air of stolidness
and tell of the death of the young
missionary. Then, smoking ciragette
after cigarette, to quiet his nerves, the
Chinaman told bPokenly, but with
brutal bluntness of the girls death.
He was surrounded at the time in
the office Of Assistant District Attor-
ney Ward by detectives from police
headquarters who previously had put
him through grilling. Mr.. Ward and
District Attorney Jerome were also
present and from what can be learned
1T was Mr.. Jerome himself who finally
drew the story from Chung Sins lips.
He was told that Leon Ling had been
captured and laid the blame upon his
(Chung Sin's) shoulders brought rne
confession. 1t was made partly in Eng
lish and partly in Chinese, for there
was an interpreter present and all
was taken down by stenographers.
No statement Of the gist of his re-
marks was made public, but the more
salient points of the confession soon
became known about the building.
Victim First Drugged.
From the mans story 1t Is appar-
ent that Elsie Sigel was first drugged
with caloroform and tflel. cnoked to
death. She was killed apparently on
the night of June 3, although Chung
Sin appeared a little mixed in his
dates. But he says that early in the
morning of June 10 he heard very
strange noise in Leon's room, ad-
joining him, and, booking over the
transom, saw the girl lying on the
bed with a bloody towel over her
mouth. He passed through the room,
he said. to go out to wash his hands.
and as he did so felt the body, which
was still warm. Afterward he went
down to the chop suey restaurant be-
low and then returned To the room.
Leon, In the meantime, had covered
the body with blanket up to the
cnin and pulled trunk to the middle
OF the floor The trunk Leon was
calmly emptying, preparatory to plac-
ing the body therein. The rope. with
which the body was bound, was lying
on the floor at the time. according
to Chung sin. Once again ne went
down stairs. said Chung Sin. where he
remained untfl Leon called him. When
he entered the room the body was not
visible having been bound with the
rope and paced in the trunk.
At this point of the story the little
Chinaman was asked savagely IL no

ceptibly, but said that he had had no
hand in 1t.
Il didn't see her no more" said
Chung Sin, "and when / asked Leon
how she died, he said she had bitten
ner tongue and bIed to DEATH"
Leon told him, Chung sin added
that he was going to send the trunk
to Jersey City, thence to Europe. AS
matter of fact, it lay untouched in
the stuffy little room until Sun Leung,
proprietor Of the restaurant below,
noticed the odor about the building
and summoned the police.
Until Chung Sins complete account
Is made public, it will not be explain
ed why he saw the dead girl and the
preparations for the removal of the
body with such apparent unconcern
at the time. Also, despite repeated in
terrogations, he declined to say what
happened in the room when the girl
was murdered. He admitted having
heard a scuffle in the room during
the night and told Of Elsie having ar
rived on the previous afternoon, the
day when she disappeared from her
home.
"Did Leon take her there or did
she go Of her own accord?" he was
asked.
"She went there alone he, replied.
| "Was she in. love with Leon or
Leon in love with her?" was another
question.
At this Chung Sin relapsed into
silence and then onls smiled and
shook his head. He indicated. how
ever. that the girl had sought out the
Chinaman.
Taking up his own case. Chung
Sin explained mis- sudden disappear
ance after the murder. by saying that
! ne had been employed by well-to-
do New Yorker at whose country place
near Amsterdam, he was arrested yes
I terday. Chung says that he accepted
| this position In order to get out OF
town, having hurried from rhe scene
!. OF the murder in fear and sought out
his brother in Chinatown, who Drocur-
ed him the position.
He admitted having borrowed $3.50
from Chu Gain. proprietor of the Port
Arthur restaurant In Chinatown. whu
Is also held in connection with the
case
Incidentally he said that Leon Ling
and Chu Gain had come to blows over
the girl in Chinatown some weeks
ago.
The theory Is that Leon xilied tho
girl because OF her attentions to CHI
Gain.
