Inundated by detectives, threatened
with prosecution and confused with
rapid-fire questions, Chung Sin, one.
time roommate of Leon Ling, told of
Elsie Sigel's murder. Under the ter.
rife pressure of the third degree, -
the little Chinaman admitted that he
had seen the body in Leon Ling's
room, that he had touched it while it
was still warm, that he had smelled
drugs and had watched Leon Ling's
preparations for placing the body in
the trunk where it was found horri-
bly, decomposed last Friday night.
Chung Sin, in fact, if what was
learned at the criminal courts build,
ing is correct, described almost every
thing concerning the murder OF Ma
jor General Franz Sigel's grand
daughter. He denied any i'm
plication in it and protested stoutly
that he was ignorant of the where
abouts of Ling, the supposed murder
er. After the inquisition he was taken
before Coroner Hamburger and held in
$4,000 bail in the house of detention

tress' conduct at various times and
places. Mr.. Shearn, the plaintiffs at
torney, said he had about thirty more
witnesses to call and that Mrs. Gould
