Found in Stufy Little Room in House Occupied
Mostly by Chinese
NEW YORK POLICE FACE NEW MYSTERY
Officials Believe the Body to be that of Young Mission
ary-Victm May be Llsie Sisel, Granddaughter of
Gen. Franz Sise, who Has Been Missing Since June
1O-Was Engaged in Chinese Mission Work

New York, June 1S.-Packed In a
steamer trunk, tied with ropes and
left i'm a stuffy little room in house
occupied principally by Chinese, the
body of a young woman was discON-
cred tonight. All indications are that
she was murdered by strangulation.
While the body had not been iden-
titled late tonight. the police say they
have reason to believe that 1t may
prove to be the body of a young wo-
man missionary.
Police Get Valuable Clue.
The murder. following closely on the
recent finding of the dismembered
body of a man on the East Side gives
the New York police two sordid mys-
teries to work upon. The efforts Of
the police tonight were being centered
in an attempt to establish the Identity
of the young woman. In their inves-
LEGATIONS, they found Henry G. Bar
neel who is Interested in the Ameri-
canizing Of the Chinese. and who gave
the police a valuable clue. in that he
described a Chinaman who had for
merly occupied the room where the
body was found.
While there is no direct evidence
to connect this Chinaman with the
murder, the fact that he was the last
occupant makes him a valuable Wit
ness. at least.
Miss Sioel Missing.
PAU Sigel. a son Of Gen. Franz ST.
| gel Of civil war fame, was also sum-
| moned to police headquarters. as his
| daughter has been missing for more
than a week and the police were anX-
| ious for him TO view the body. Bar
nell said that he knew a young white
woman by sight only who had been
| interested in work among the Chi
nese. and he was inclined to think that
the name was Sigel. although he was
not sure of this. With this partly CO.

| and uncertain, the police began their
| investigations

Evidences Of a Struggle.

New York, June 1S.-The flow Of
testimony adduced by the defense in
the suit for separation brought by
Katherine Clemmons Gould against
her husband, Howard Gould, kept edg-
ing more and more today toward Dus-
tin Farnum, the actor, whose broad
shoulders and mop of curly hair have
become familiar figure in the case.
There was besides further reiteration
by servants and personal attendants
that Mrs. Gould was repeatedly seen
b---them under the influence of liquor
and that when she had been drinking,
as they alleged on the stand, she
changed from charming; anaple .wo-
man, to a creature of whim and ca
price, ill ll-tempered, not nice in her
choice of language, overbearing and
quarrelsome.
