BY the finance committee and the latter 8
amendment placing 10 per cent. 90
vaIorem duty on hides was adopted. The
placing of duty on hides is especially
interesting for the reason that the move

Probing the Murder Mystery.

New York, June 24-Once more
Chung Sin has admitted he is q liar.
The stolid yellow msn, after fifty weary
hours Of tireless third degree, told the
police today tina, his story OF seeing
Elsie Sigel slrsngIed to death by Leon
Ling in his room over the Eighth avenue
chop suey restaurant, was not true. His
story, which he told yesterday, he brand
ed as false, after detectives had told him
it was impossible to see the bed in
Icons room through the key hole in
the door between the rooms where the
Cinnamon lived. Beyond establishing
the fact that Ohu0g Sin knows practi-
eally ali there is to koow of the murder
of the white girl missionary by her
celestial pupil, the terrible third degree
through which the police have dragged
him after contradictory stories has been
practically without results.
His story today is that be did not see
Elsie killed, but saw the body imme-
diately alter the killing. He says Leon
Ling came to his room about noon on
June 8, and told him Elsie was dead, or
dying, asking Chung to help him dis
pose OF the body. Chung says he was
scared out of his Monaghan stolidity.
He vent to Icons room aud saw the
girls body lying on the bed. The face
was discolored, and the mouth was COW
cred with q bloody handkerchief. Chung
still denies that be saw rope about the
girls neck then. He saw Leon pre-
pare the trunk for the body, but left the
room before the body was placed in the
trnnk. When he returned Leon WAS gone
Chung promised to tell the truth, but
when the detectives came at him with
the important question, "Where is
LeOn?" they met the same old answer;
"Me no know. No understand"
Attorney Jesse Henry, representing
Ohu Gain, the general manager of the
Port Arthur restaurant. and one OF the
sweethearls OF Elsie Sigel, today sur
rendered to Assistant District Attorney
WaId, two letters in Chinese, which are
alleged to have been written by Lem
Ling, in which he threatened the life of
Gain, and also OF Elsie Sigel. The let
! tiers are nov being translated. They
were written to the Saw Ke Company,
which controls the Port Arthur restau-
rant, and are signed "rhe Chief"
These are the letters which were referred
to by Ohu Gain in his testimony before
