Chinese in New York in June Of 1909. is
believed TO have been found i'm Oak
land. In the rooms of Lee Dor. who
was arrested on charges Of having
opium, United States Treasury agents
found set of press clippings describ-
ing the death Of Elsie Sigel and several
photographs of pretty white women.
Prior to this discovery the prisoner
had been released under 81 600 bond.
His whereabouts now are unknown.
John w. Smith. Treasury agent,
who unearthed the evidence against
Lee Dor, said to-day:
Lee Dor tried to convince us that
he had no knowledge of English. but it
is significant that a Chinese who pre-
tends no knowledge of our Language
should 50 treasure the reports Of
murder that took place in New York
four years ago"
The Chinese suspected of strangling
Elsie Siegel was Leon Ling. His de-
scription does not tally with that Of

that the information received by his as
sistant, William A. de Ford. TO the effect
that Hoffman has fed to British Column
bia is true, he has no positive proof Of
it. and he is clinging to the possibility
OF Hoffman appearing at the last mo-
ment. although efforts in the past few
days TO reach him have been unavailing.
Hoffman, who was employed as a pri-
vate detective by Thaw, was the chief
witness against Anhut both at the Gov
