Coroner and Police Captain Certain
Of Identification of FlOater Found

lice still trying today to positively
identity the body OF the Chinese founc
boating IN the Hudson river last
night, and Coroner Robert +. MELON
aid and Police Captain Dennis Ward
certain that the dead man Is Leon
Ling. wanted for the killing OF Elsie
Sigel, the murderer OF the little mis-
sionary girl now threatens To broaden
out into a chain OF Chinese Tong muir
ders. Captain Carey. OF the homicide
bureau, and Detective Van Wagner
OF the central Office, contend that the
dead man is not Leon
The body conforms in almost eN-
cry particular with the ponce deserip'
ton OF the missing man III whose
room the girls dead body was found
packed in a trunk, and men who
knew Leon have declared that with
the exception or bald spot on the
left side OF the head he is either Leon
or Icons double. The coroner eX'
plains that the bald spot may have
been caused by the body scraping
against the rocks while floating III the
river.
II the body is that OF Leon the po-
lice are sure they are now confronted
with an almost impenetrable Chinese
mystery. All OF the vile and cum
ming OF the oriental is used 10 cover
up the actions OF his Tong, ana II ls
the Tongs the police believe are at the
bottom OF The mystery II the BODY
at the morgue is that of the missing
Chinese Leon Ling.
Lawyers and men who have had
close dealings with the Chinese have
contended since the discovery OF Elsie
Sigel's body that there may have been
two murders instead of one. IL is
claimed that Leon Ling, gambler, may
have in some of his devious dealings
aroused the vengeance of one OF the
powerful Tongs His own Tong, the
Hip Sings, may have found him want
ing, or their rivals, the Or Leong
Tong, may have determined his pres
,ence on earth was no longer neces-
sary.
That the Hip Sing Tong was in
yolved is the theory OF the police.
They contend that Leon may have re-
vealed TO his mission teacher and
sweetheart, Elsie Sigel, some of the
secrets OF the Tong; that the Tong.
having pronounced the doom OF the lit
tie yellow man. sent its Ratchet men
or militant members TO the room OF
Leon on the day that Elsie Sigel was
killed. Elsie Sigel was there, and the
girl. the only witness of the deed,
was killed by the murderers for safety.
