The sun., 1909-06-22

Sun Leungs chop sney house on the
morning OF Wednesday. June 9. the day
Elsie disappeared. They believe that
after Leung straneled the girl he re-
hid them, intending to come back and
get the trunk which held the body. They
think it Is likely too that he wanted to
kill Chu Gain before he fed from New
York, but that his nerve broke and he
hurried out Of the city without paying
any more attention to the body OF liking
vengeance on Chu Gain.
LgUSG c.a. sATiEG TO THs siGhi.5
PARTY.
Paul Sigel. Elsies father. had some
thing to say yesterday in support Of the
theory that Leung's jealousy was Of re-
cent origin. Mr.. Sigel said he knew that
his wife and Elsie were receiving China
men at the house and going about with
them but that his wife had concealed the
true situation from him and he had no
idea how far things had gone until after
his daughters body was found: Then
he learned that both Chu Gain ana Leung
we're in love with Elsie and that I.e,lng
had grown savagely jealous in the last
few weeks.
LEUNa IIvRD AT the sIGELs'.
Leung got 30 angry about this time that
he went to the police and complained
that the Sgels. with whom he had lived.
were keeping his clothes away from him.
Lieut.. Mc(irath OF the West 152d street
station remembered Last night that on
June about 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
LemnR came into the station house and
asked to have a policeman sent with
him to the Sigel house while he got some
Of his clothes which were there. The
Chinanlan said that he was afraid to go
alone as he feared Mrs. Sigel would put
up some game on him as she owed him
$500.
Ieung told the lieutenant that when
the Sigels lived at $50 West lSsth street
he had boarded with them for a time.
That was while he was running a stand
at Fort George. he said. When they
moved to 200 Wadsworth avenue. he said.
they had taken his clothes with them.
McGrath said last night that he told
Leung the facts hardly seemed to warrant
sending policeman. but sent Bicycle
worth avenue house. The policeman
waited down stairs while Leung went UP.
He returned soon with a bundle and went
away apparently satisfied.
McGrath said that he hadn't spoken
OF the incident before because II had only
Just come to him that the name was the
same.
Ou une aIteiHOOu oi iuocNhy, ouho q,
there was q party at the Sigel house at
200 Wadsworth avenue. Several China
mon were among the g,iests. Chu Gain
was one OF them. but IIeung Lin was not.
While the party was going on i'eung went
to the house, either drunk or bali crazed
with rage and banged on the door. He
was ordered to leave. but he refused to go
without seeing Elsie. She ventured out
finally and talked to him. Lenng told
her that she had better let Chu Gain alone
or both would be sorry for it.
Il believe said Mr.. Sigel. shat Leung
sent word to Elsie on the morning OF
June 0 that he was siok. sending the mes
sage by Chung Sing. and that Elsie be.
lieved the lie and went to see him. l
can't believe that 1eung killed her by
himself. He was a slim. weakly looking
Chinaman and must have had help"
cHu GAIN AMAZED THAT HE'S ALIVE.
Carey went after Chi Gain again yes
terday to extract something from him
about his relations with Elsie and his
familiarity with her movements. Chu
said it was true that he was in love with
her He said he couldn't help it. II she
hadn't come to his place with her moth er
and Mother Todd Of the Mott street
mission it never would have happened:
man who never bothered white women
in his life and that he had never paid any
attention to Elsie Sigel until the girl
showed she liked him. He told Carey
he believed that 1,eung had killed her
and he was much surprised that l,eung
hadn't made an attempt, to get him before
was too frightened after the murder
to make the attempt.
STUCK BY CIPHER CHINESE LETTER.
A great deal was expected from the
letter the Post Once Department seized
at Washington. the one directed to will
lam Leone with directions to return 1t
to Sam Wing 81 Bayard street. New
York city. Commissioner Woods hired a
translator yesterday morning and put
him to work. The translator sweated
and toiled for hours and made nothing
but gibberish out OF 1t. The letter was
written in cipher. and a mighty clever
cipher at that. and il there is any cipher
expert at the Chinese Consulate here who
wants good paying job he can get IL
by addressing 800 Mulberry Street, care
7. Bingham or A. Woods
Some interesting little lights on the
the discovery that somebody at the laun-
dry in Bayard street. using old Sam Wing q
had written in Chinese cipher
to Leung Linn at Washington. Commits
sioner Woods men learned pretty quickly
that the two by four laundry was the
private post office Of the Chinese Masons
They called there individually and got
letters sent to them in care OF good old
useful Sam Wing.
When they got that about the post
Office the detectives figured it wouldn't
be good business to take the Four Little
Lees, 80 mysteriously returned to their
tubs, and locked them up in tight cells
It would be much better to let the Four
Little Lees iron shirts and keep the post
ofioe open. There might be other letters
and things might happen. But the Four
Little Lees are watched. There are de-
tectives within eyeshot OF the laundry
night and day. and u 10 certain that II the
Little Lees tried a getaway they would be
