Was Leon Murdered?

Failure TO find any trace whatever
Of Leon Ling has caused the New
York police TO give some attention to-
the theory strongly revived that the
missing man may not have killed Elsie
Sigel and that he was himself the
victim of the same hand that killed
the girl. This line of reasoning neces-
states the rejection OF the story told
by Chung Sin, who said he had seen
the murder.
In considering the possibility that
Leon was killed 1t is regarded as prob
able that his body was placed in a.
trunk. as was Elsie Sige,s and that
has drawn renewed attention to the

BRUTAL CRIME
THE MURDER OF MRS. GILBERT
WOODILL TO SECURE
MONEY.
LATEST PHASE OF CASE.
The Case Has Many Remarkable and
Mysterious Features and Some
Shocking Details.

Following the news OF the murder
OF Elsie Sigel, by the Chinaman Leon
Ling in his room in New York, with
the CHASTITY Details comes that OF
Mrs. Gilbert Woodill in the Broad
Greek bungalow, near Easton, Md, of
Robert h. Eastman, a fugitive broker
There Is a mystery about the life of
the woman whose husband is i'll in
Los Angeles. She had told friends that
she was born in Minneapolis about 20
years ago. Her mother, who called
herself Mrs. Ames, died when she
was about 3 years OF age. leaving her
in utter ignorance of her parentage or
forbears.
Mrs. Charles II. Thompson. of Nc
Daniel, Md. then took her and brought
her up, telling her that she (Mrs.
Thompson) was her mothers intimate
friend, but never disclosing to her the
name of her father.
When she was about II years OF
age they went to Washington, where
they lived for some time in the house
of Lyman j. Gage, who took a great
interest in her When she was about
10 he sent her, with Mrs. Thompson,
TO Paris, where she studied music,
Mr.. Gage paying all expenses.
On her return from Paris she went
TO Boston to complete her studies, and
while in Boston she was married to a
Mr.. Caswell, who was an osteopath.
When she was about II she came to
Baltimore to continue her studies at
the Peabody conservatory. leaving her
husband. She was known here as Miss
Edith Thompson, concealing her mar
riage from all but a few intimate
friends. In a very short time there
after she entered suit against DR..
Caswell for divorce.
She left Baltimore on Easter year
ago, being engaged at the time 10
Harry Adams, of Mount Vernon, n. Y.
After a brief stay in New York she
went to California, where in less than
30 days after her divorce from DR..
Caswell, she married Gilbert Woodill,
of Los Angeles. Ii has also been ru-
mored that in her early youth Charles
Thompson, the son of her foster
mother and father, being a rejected
sutton, committed suicide on her ac-
count.
During her residence in Baltimore
Mr.. Gage sent her checks continually,
some of them amounting TO $500,
and when she was married to Mr..
Woodill, he gave her $4,000. At the
time of her death Mr.. Gage was also
building her a house in Los Angeles,
with the understanding that he was to
come to live with her and her hus-
band.
All of these facts, it is asserted.
were stated by Mrs. Woodill TO friends
in Baltimore prior to Ter death.
That the murder was committed by
Eastman is beyond any doubt, and
that there were no wild orgies in the
bungalow is established fully. The wo-
man was under some pretext enticed
to the bungalow and brutality muir
dered for her money and jewels, which
Eastman pawned. His immediate sui
eide TO avoid capture is only one of
many evidences of his guilt. He was
alone with the woman when the hor-
rible crime was committed, il is
thought.

pense Of the author by Herr Loeschen-
