ter of the illustrious Franz Sigel, the
German warrior, h served with the
union army during the civil. var. Is,
according to all indications, the VIC
tim of one of the most bloody muir
ders in the history of New York. If
she is not the victim the police are
confronted with a remarkable series
Of coincidental facts.
Taken from a trunk in a room Of
a hin in a chop suey restaurant in
the Tender1oin, the body is in j stat"
of decomposition, which makes its
Identification difficult, and has been
removed to the mOrguc while d"tcC-
tives are collecting the threads OF a
tangled story involving the girl ana
her associations with Chinese. An
envelope addressed to the girl found
in the room where the body lay, a
locket bearing her initials, her disap-
pearance on June 10 and q note fnund
in the room signed Elsie, all soon to
indicate that Sigels daughter was
murdered.

clothing, tied with ropes, wrapped in
a faded blue blanket and crammed
into a dilapidated old trunk, where 1t
lay for a week at least before the Odor
crept through the building, arousing
the suspicious of the proprietor Of the
restaurant below, who summoned the
police and instituted an investigation.
Mr.. Sigel had not Identified the body
at a late hour Friday night, nor had
Mrs. Sigel, although the mother. when
told tina her daughter evidently had
been murdered by q Chink, became
hysterical. She identified the jcwelry
found in the room, however, as that
worn by her daughter.
Mrs. Sigel's condition was such that
it was impossible to interview her and
When the story was told to her with
as much tenderness as possible she
cried, MY God" and tainted.

taurant, who also disappeared shortly
after the discovery of the murder, add
ing further to the mystery. The case

man has been known to call at the 81

ton of the parents. Elizabeth Sigel
was 20 years old and was greatly in
terested in work among Chinese.

that the portfolio will hold more fiat
