New York. June 23.-Baited and in
undated by detectives. threatened
with prosecution and confused with
rapid questions. Chung Sin. one
time roommate OF Leon Ling. told of
Elsie Sigel's murder. Under the ter
rife pressure Of the third degree"
the little Chinaman admitted that he
had seen the body in Leon Ling's
room that he had touched II while il
was still warm, that he had smelled
drugs and had watched Leon LIng's
preparations for placing the body in
the trunk where IL was found horribly
decompOsed last Friday night.
Chung Sin in fact described almost
everything concerning the murder Of
Major General Franz Sigers grand

murderer. After the inquisition he was

Chung Sin was arrested at West
Galway, n. Y. a small hamlet near
Amsterdam, and was brought to New
York. Immediately after his arrest
up state and all during the trip by
train TO this city he was piled with
questions bullied. persuaded and en-.
tangled in a mass of significant ques-
tons He was told that Leon Ling
had been captured and had laid the
blame upon his (Chung Sin's) should
ers. This. together with the persistent
hammering at the prisoner, brought
the confession.
Girl Was Dragged and StraneIed.
From the mans story 1t is apparent
that Elsie Sigel first was drugged with
chloroform and then choked to death.
She was killed apparently on the
night OF June 3. although Chung Sin
appeared little mixed In his dates.
But he says that early in the morn
ing Of June 10 he heard a strange
noise in Icons room, adjoining his,
and, looking over the transom, saw the
girl lying on the bed. with a bloody
towel over her mouth. He passed

After that he went down to the chop
suey restaurant below, then returned
70 the room. Leon In the meantime
had covered the body with a blanket
up to the chin and had pulled a trunk
TO the middle OF the floor. The trunk
Leon was calmly emptying prepare
tory to placing the body therein. The
rope with which the body was bound
was lying on the floor at the time, ac-
cording to Chung Sin. Once again he
went down stairs, said Chung Sin,
where he remained until Leon called
him. When he entered the room the
body was not visible. having been
bound with the rope and placed in the
trunk.
At this point OF the story the China
man was asked savagely II he had not
assisted his pal in putting the body in
the trunk. Chung Sin started percep-
tibly. but said that he had no hand
IN It.
Leon Said She slsd to Death.

 SHY OF PROFITS

Huntsville, February 21.-(Special)- Members of the Madison County Can taloupe association met Saturday after noon to decide on the future policy of the association, and they decided that they would not continue in business. The as socia1on experienced a disastrous season last year, the first of its existence, and and money. Although this was said to be due to conditions existing in that season alone, many of the members reached the conclusion that they would let cantaloupes alone in the future. There is no doubt that a large number of cantaloupes will be produced in Madison county this spring, but they will be for home con- sumption, and will not be sold through an association.
 R. L. O'Neal, Jr., for the past four years business manager of the Mercury Publishing company, has resigned that position and today left for Birmingham. where he will engage in business on his own account.
 The Eighth district convention of the Knights of Pythias will be held in Athens Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The Huntsville Business Mems club has received definite proposition for the To- cation of large foundry and machine shop, and it is believed that the conditions can be easily met The proposed plant would have a pay roll of $70O0 per month. and 1t would do all of the repair work of the Huntsville cotton mills, amounting to an average of $30,000 every year.

The continual de- feats they had received were, doubtless. the reason of their having so strongly fortified this place, where they had de- termined to perish or to be victorious Few escaped the carnage. Of the killed many by their friends were thrown into the river. whilst the battle ragged; many, in endeavoring to pass 1t were sunk by the steady fire of Coffee's brigade; and 557 were left dead on the ground.

Decorated in a most fan tastic manner-the plumage of various birds about their heads and shoulders with savage grimaces, and horrid con tortions of the body, they danced and bowled their cantations to the sun. Their dependents already believed a commun- ion with heaven sure. which, moved by entreaty and their offered homage, would aid them in the conflict, and give tri- umph to their arms. Fear had no infiu- ence, and when they beheld our army approaching and already scaling their line of defense, even then, far from be- ing dispirited hope survived and victory was still anticipated.

 wounded by cannot shot in the mouth while earnestly engaged in his incan- tations."
 Conclusion.
 In view of the foregoing it Is believed that every patriotic consideration de- mands affirmative action on this me- morial. The establishment of the Horse- shoe Bend battle park would not only l,r memoration of one of the great historic events in the life of people, but it would be another public expression of the patriotic and educatory value of the lessons of the past. Its establishment would be a lasting memorial to the brave men who fought and to those who fell in those trying days, when hostile h. dian aggression threatened our frontier civilization, but 1t would be more It would mean that a grateful government could always be relied upon to do it's duty not only to Its patriotic dead but its patriotic living as well.
 For the further information of Con gress your momorialsts respectfully ap- pend hereto number of historical papers and documents of great importance, which will serve to more fully illustrate the character of the battle referred to, and which they pray may be taken a part of this memorial.
 The premises considered your memorial ists respectfully urge the enactment of the measure proposed by the bill of Hon. J. T. Hefiin. or of some other suitable legislation on the subject.
