When Carl Wendlandt. painter

was trespassing on the cause of a

POLICE BAFFLEO
y IN SIGEL CASE
Leon Ling, Murderer of Mission
Worker, Has Made Good His Escape
Aided by Criminal Band. III

NEW YORK, June 29.-The train
ed and expert sleuths of this city
aided by the detectives OF every city
in the United States practically admi
today that they have proved no mattel
for the elusive oriental and that Leul
Linz, the supposed murderer of Else
Sigel, has slipped through their nets
and passed beyond their reach.
II is conceded there is practically
no hope now of apprehending the
celestial in whose home the grand
daughter of Gen. Sigel, the civil wal
hero, was strangled &c death by the
hand OF a slant-eyed son OF the :ai
east.
The thousands Of officers. with al
the complicated and complex system
OF detection OF which the western
world boasts, apparently have been
utterly outwitted by the cunning ol
an oriental. who evidently buneled
badly for one OF his race.
I'VE are just running down rumors,'
said Inspector McCaiferty today. All
we are sure of in the case is this
Elsie Sigel was killed on June 8 be.
tween 10 a. N. and 1890 p. nj. in
Leon Ling's room in Eighth-ave. Leon
is the murderer, and perhaps Chung
Sin, his satellite, now in the house
OF detention under police treatment
for partial loss OF memory, is an ac-
complete.
I'VE are hunting for nobody but
Leon. After the murder Leon went
to Washington. He returned in time
10 take the trunk 10 Newark and ar
rived there about o'clock in the
morning OF June TO- He got Cabman
James Halstead to bring the trunk TO
New York on the afternoon of the
same day"
With this breaf statement the in
formation obtained by the search CON
Quoted by the police Is exhausted.
II was the first time that the po-
lice confronted the secret machina-
tons OF the Chinese tongs in SER
ious manner in several years.
The detectives had not measured
the strength or cunning and resource
fulness of the secret oriental organ
izations. The Revolutionary Tong, to
which Leon belongs reaches with its
bony fingers around the world. It's
secret activities are so well guarded
that almost nothing is known about
it except to the Chinese. Ii is a
great, silent, unseen force that deals
in life and death.
