 Although having room next to Leon's, he said his night work as a waiter kept him away a great deal and often he did not sleep In tho room.
 When Leon's association with the girl was suggested, Chung Sin would shake his head and soy:
 She not my friend. she his friend: why should l be jtail?r
 The Chiuaman's arrest came abcut through his employer, Harvey Kenne- dy, a well-to-do New Yorker. and summer resident of West Galway. He noticed Chung Sins likeness to pub- lished photographs of him in New York newspapers and notified the po- lice. Chung Sin readily admitted his name and identity. but stubbornly maintained that he was totally ig- norant of the murder
 Chung Sin reached Amsterdam on Friday afternoon, June H. two days after Elsie Sigel disappeared in New York, and the day on which she ls supposed to have been killed. He was previously engaged in New York by Kennedy as servant. which in some respects Is favorable to the Chinaman. because 1t indicates that he did not flee from the city. He worked here quietly until the police learned of his recent arrival and his supposed con- nection with the murder case, and hln arrest followed.
