she had been kept a prisoner there and

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Sigel knew Leong
Lee Lin very well. After the daughter

grams 10 John H. Helms and the agents
of the United Railroads.
On Saturday and Sunday, March Is
and q, the offices OF Abbott, Brown,
Calhoun and Mutually were raided by
the police upon a search warrant Sc
cured by Burns. who professed to have
information that the men named were
in possession of his stolen papers. Safes
and desks were forcibly opened in the
presence of protesting attorneys and
officials. and documents TO the number
of 2.000 were seized and delivered into
custody Of the police judge who grant
ed the warrant. Before the raiders had
completed their task, attorneys for the
United Railroads secured and served an
injunction fOrbidding further search.
Another order was secured to forbid
the police judge opening the sealed
packages, and after a few days of ar
gument Superior Judge F. j. Murasky
took under Amusement an application
for an order adjudging District Attor-
ney f. J. Heney and two detectives
who participated in the raids guilty of
contempt of court. No end of cOmpli-
cation has been created, through the
activity Of private detectives, several
of whom are admitted to have been
privately i'm the employ of one side
while secretly furnishing information to
the other.
A fortnight was added to the length
OF the proceedings by the testimony of
John H. Helms once a detective in the
employ of the United Railroads, who
was later secretly added to the force of
Burns, to obtain evidence of alleged
Illegal activity on the part of the United
Railroad agents. Helms testified that
he had paid Plat and other Burns men
to secure papers, and had turned them
over to Abbott. Prior to his appearance
as a witness, he charged, several at
tempts were made TO prevent his testi-
flying for the prosecution: Another
Burns agent produced in court sums ag-
gregating $3.50, which he alleged had
been paid him by Luther G. Brown to
betray secrets of the district attorneys
office. One of the witnesses called dur
ing the trial was Rudolph SpTeckels,
president of the First National bank,
who instituted the graft prosecution by
to pay the expenses in
VOlVed. The testimony presented showed
that fund of 1924 900 had been raised
and expended, and Mr.. Spreckels' ac-
counts voluntarily produced i'm court,
showed that he had contributed approx
imately $4,000 of the total.

Had Several Admirers.
From Mrs. Margaret Todd, mission
airy, who first introduced Miss Sigel
into the work of converting the resi-
dents of Chinatown to Christianity, the
police learned today that while the
young woman taught Leong Lee Lin
the creed Of Christ, he at the same time
learned to love her. From Mrs. Todd's
statement and letters found in the
room where the body had been stran-
gled, partially strapped and wedged into
an old trunk. it has been discovered
Leong Lee Lin was not the only ad-
mirer of Elsie Sigel. Letters to Lin
threatend him with death if he did
not cease his attentions to the young
missionary.
Although Mrs. Paul Sigel unhesitat-
ingly identified the jewe1ry and pieces
of clothing found in the room as those

victim was his child. He is said to
have started for Washington early to-

alive. Ten days ago a telegram was
received from her at Washington say

days. When she did not arrive the pO-

it was stated at the home of Mr.. Sigei

had gone TO Washington ito bring Elsie
home"
Suspect Has Several Names.
Leon, who was also known by several
Chinese names, was still unbound today,
as was also Chung Sin, who occupied a
room adjoining that of Leon. Both
rooms are on the fourth floor of 7S2
Eighth avenue, between FOrty-seventh
and Forty-eighth streets. over a Chi
nese restaurant conducted by Sun
Beung. The police are searching for
Leon, but with scant hopeof finding him,
as it is believed the murder was COM
mitted possibly as early as Thursday.
Today the police gave out a report that
Leon and Chung Sin had sailed last
Friday for Vancouver, B. C, on a
steamer, by the way of the 1sthmus Of
Panama. Precautions have been taken
to intercept them if possible.
The police of Washington have been
asked to aid the New York police by
finding the original copy of a telegram
which was received by the girls par
ents from that city last Saturday, say
ing:

week. Don't worry"

missionary work among the Chinese Of
the city for a few years, having become
interested therein by the activity of her
mother in behalf Of the Characterization
Of the Orientals The young woman was
about 90 years Of age. This morning
Florence Todd, one of the missionary
workers in the Chinese section. who
identified Miss SigeFs body, told the po-
lice that the girl and the Chinaman had
been thrown much together for a few
years and that Leon was greatly enam-
ored of the girl; that he was intensely
jealous Of her and disliked her TO re-
ceive the attentions of other men. This
had caused Miss Sigel to fear Leon,
Miss Todd said.
Many Letters Found.
That Leon had other correspondents
than Miss Sigel was discovered when
between 1900 and 1900 letters, mainly
from various women in New York and
other cities. were found in his room.
Among the number were a number
signed Elsie" which were described by
the police as love letters. The contents
of most of them were not revealed by
The police, but in one OF them Elsie"
