ELSIE SAID TO BE FLIRT Friend or Dead Girl Declares Mission-Worker Toyed With Celes tials' Hearts and Adds She Thinks Case Suicide. ARREST SrSFECT OX TRAIN". VANCOITEB, B. C. June 21. A 1 Chinese anwrtni the dlscrlptton of J I,on Lln. auppoied murderer of j Elile Sigel. wii taken from a vtn- I bound Canadian Pacino train at I Revelstoke, B. C., today. f : NEW TORK, June atter a bit of police flurry today and an hour or two of unverified reports and telephoning het-ti-een cities, the murder of Elsie Sljrel resolved Itself into an unsolved crime again tonight. Chung- sin. who formerly occupied a room adjoining that wnere the girl's body was found. Is held by the police at the little upstate village of Amster dam. N. T.. but what has been learned from him has cleared up the case but little. At Schenectady, the Chinese arrested today as I.eon Ling or William H. Leon, who is sought as the girl's murderer, pretty well established that he Is an unoffending Celestial, whose arrest was brought about through his striking re semblance to Leon Ling. Chung Knows but Iiittle. The disappearance of Chung Sin about the time the murder was discov ered made the police eager for his ap prehension, but the Interview with him at Amsterdam seems to have brought out nothing of value to the authorities. He maintains that he rarely associated with Leon, and knows nothing of the murder. While the authorities up-state were putting the two Chinese through an inquisition. Sun Leong, keeper of the restaurant above which the body was found, was being questioned at police headquarters. Sun Leong, who disap peared on the night the body waa found. quietly surrendered himself parly today. His voluntary surrender is taken to mean that he is not impli cated In the crime. Chinamen to Raise Fund. A meeting of the .Chinese who have tieen converted to Christianity was held this afternoon to discuss plans for rais ing a fund to be offered as a reward for the capture of Elsie's slayer. A committee will go through Chinatown soliciting subscriptions. IUv. Mr. Pungymow, who acted aa chairman, said Leon Ling had never been connected with the mission in any way, and as far as he knew had never at tended any missions In Chinatown that Miss Slgel had taught. In support of the belief that Eleie was killed through jealousy, Mrs. Florence Todd said: Klsle Wa Flirting. "1 knew Chu Gain very well. He is one of the few Chinese whom I would trust with my life. Mrs. Sigel also knew him for many years. Within the last year, despite her love for Chu Gain, Elsie be came apparently Infatuated with Leon Ling. But I think It was only a flirta tion. "He, I know, asked her to marry Mm, but she refused. In fact she told me eno refused him. Her mother knew all about It." Despite her statement. Mrs. Todd said she was not Inclined to believe that Leon committed the murder, and she tvent on to relate that she had had a dream that Klsle Sigel had commuted suicide. Chu Had Bream. Chu Gain, she said, came to her after the murder is supposed to have been committed and told her that he had also had a dream. In this dream Chu Gain, according to Mrs. Todd, had seen the form of the girl appear before him, cry ing: Chu, save me." This seemed to worry the Chinese greatly, because Elsie was, missing at the time. LKGATION' BECOMES ACTIVE Chinese Diplomat Issues Orders Calling Vpon Consuls to Give Aid. WASHINGTON. June 11. Orders were Issued by the Chinese legation here today to Chinese Consuls through out the United tSates to do all In their power to assist In the apprehension of the murderers of Elsie Sigel. Those In New York and San I'raiiclsco were or dered to exercise surveillance. I OVIXG LETTERS FROM ELSIE Both Chinamen Got Them and Jealousy Drove I.eon to Murder. NEW YORK. June 11 Wedged Into jn old trunk of Leon Ling, the police round a score or more of letters which the girl had addressed to him. They were endearing in tone and Indicated a friendship more than Platonic. In the raid of the private rooms of Chu Jain, the detectives found about 200 letters which had been addressed to him by Elsie Sigel. These letters were even more endearing In tone than those found In Leon Ling's room. In these Flie addressed him as "tar own dearest beloved." "my own dear Chu." and she frequently signed herself, "ever your loving Elsie." The chu Gain letters gave the first information aa to the motive for the murder. Miss Sigel told Chu Gain In some of these letters of her conduct with Leon Ling, told him not to be Jealous and explained her object In maintaining her friendship for Ling The police will not give out the full contents of these letters. It Is now supposed that Leon Ling decided to end tragically the romance of the girl and his rival. Her affec tion for Chu Gain was known, as Is shown by the letters received by Chu Gain, In which he and the girl are LLiwienco wun death unless their re lations ceased. The murder apparently was the execution of that threat. The . Chinatown mission, popularly known as the "Girls' Recreation Rooms.' was closed last night for the first time since It was opened eight years ago. In these rooms Miss Sigel first undertook missionary work In Chinatown, and It was here that she was brought In contact with many of the resident of that section. The young girl missionaries use these rooms to meet the unfortunate women of Chinatown and talk religion with them. On stated occasions Chinese were In vited to the rooms and there they met the young girls. In that manner many Chinese were induced to attend Chris tian Sunday schools, and from these first meetings many romances have de veloped Chinese marriages with white women.
