Early in the afternoon the Schenectady
police notified Headquarters that they

were certain that they had Elsie Sigel's
murderer. McCafrerty's men doubted
from the start that Leung had been caught
and we're inclined to believe that the pris-
oner at Schenectady was telling the truth
when he said he was Chu Hop. a cousin OF
Chu Hong, manager Of the Tuxedo res
taurant at Doyers street. However,
Deputy Commissioner Woods sent two
men to Schenectady TO have look at

they were humping shirt bosoms as usual.
What pleased the detectives most and
sent them further along than they had
