for the holding of a convention OF

slGEL MURDER MYSTERY
No Trace Of Chinaman Accused as
Her Slayer

New York, June 2O--Leon Ling with
his string of English Chinese aliases
and his American clothes, may never
be found, but the mutilated body of
the New York girl left behind in a
trunk in his room acre will not be bur-
led in Potter's Field
Paul Sigel, the father, claimed and
positively identified the body at the
morgue tonight. admitting for the first
time that the victim was his daugh-
ter Elsie.
The girls mother. now in a sanitar-
ium. had previously identified the
jewelry; another woman nad identi-
fled the stained underclothing and rel
atives had said that the murdered girl
was Elsie Sigel, granddaughter of
General Franz Sigel. but until this
evening the father had maintained an
attitude of silence unexplained.
Stomach to Be Analysed
Elsie Sigels stomach, however, is
in the hands of tne Columbia Univer.
sity professor, who will make chem
ical analysis of its contents. Although
the murder is supposed to have been
committed on Wednesday, June 8, the
exact cause of her death has never
been ascertained. While the autopsy
determined that death was probably
due to aspnyxiation, whether she was
choked, smothered under a pillow or
drugged, bound with ropes and left to
die horribly in the trunk is as much
a mystery as is the whereabouts of
Leon Ling and his pal, Chung Sing.
Few Developments in the Case
Aside from the positive identified
ton of the body there were few devel-
opments in the case here today. Gnu
Gain, manager of the Port Arthur res
taurant in Chinatown, who was de-
tanned last night as material witness
was held without bail until Tuesday
He has admitted that he knew Elsie
Sigel well, and had incurred the en-
nifty of Leon Ling. and that both ne
tChu GAIN and the girl had been
threatened with death. He will be
put through characteristic police or
deal before he is released.
