4HE:P0uCE HAVE
NEW THEORY IN
S|GEL MURDER

New York. June 30.--Ths police
have new theory today regarding
the Sigel murder mystery. They now
believe that two women mlssiona ries
aided Leon Ling to hide the murder
OF Elsie Sigel and that seven Chi
namen were present when the muir
der was committed.
Three Chinese were crested to-
day at Ciudaj Juarez. Mexico. OPP
posite FL Paso, and one or them il
believed TO be Leon Ling.
This theory is entirely st variance
with the theory OF yesterday that
Leon Ling was probably murdered
by the same hand that murdered the
girl. and that her murder did not
take place in Leon Ling's rooms but
In that OF his enemy.
