fanners and villagers rushing about
endeavoring to rare for the wounded

Keeper of the Restaurant Above

turned and Surrendered Himself.
Girl's Mutilated Body Is Burled
Quietly Meeting of Converted Chi
namen Held to Raise Money For
Reward For Capture of Murderer.
New York, June 22. After a bit of
police flurry, an hour or two of un
verified reports and telephoning be
tween cities, the murder of Klsie Sigel
of this city and granddaughter of Ma
jor General Franz Slgcl of Civil war
fame, has resolved itself into an un
solved crime again.
Chung Sin, who formerly occupied a
room adjoining that where the girl's
body was found, Is held by the police
at the little city or Amsterdam, N. Y.,
but what has been learned from him
has served to clear up the case little,
If any. Ar, Schenectady, the China
man, at first thought to be Leon Ling
or William L. Leon, who is sought as
the girl's murderer, has, accoiding to
all Indications, pretty well established
that he is an unoffending Celestial
who formerly worked in a restaurant
in New York and whose arrest was
brought about merely through a strik
ingly unfortunate resemblance to Leon
Ling.
The disappearance of Chung Shi
about the time the murder was dis
covered here made the police eager
for his apprehension, which was con
sidered second in Importance to that of
Leon, but the interview with him at
Amsterdam Beenis to have brought out
nothing of value to the authorities.
He maintains that he rarely associat
ed with Leon and while acquainted
with Elsie Sigel knows nothing of the
murder.
Sun Leong a Material Witness.
While the authorities up-state were
putting the Chinamen through an In
quisition Sun Leong, keeper of the
restaurant above which the body was
found, was being questioned at police
headquarters here. Sun Leong disap
peared on the night the body was
found, but quietly and calmly surren
d' red himself early yesterday. He is
being detained as a material witness,
but his voluntary sut render Is taken to
mean that he Is not Implicated In any
way in the crime.
In the midst of all the police activity
the body of Elsie Sigel was quietly
burled In Woodlawn remcitery. As
the father had announced that he
wished to avoid any more publicity,
the coffin containing the mutilated
form was taken directly from the
morgue to the burying ground in a
plain undertaking wagon. The cere
mony at the grave was strictly private
and was attended only by her father,
two brothers, Reginald and Theodore,
and by her uncle, Franz Sigel.
Mrs. Sigel, it will be recalled, broke
down completely when she learned of
her daughter's death and Is now in a
sanitarium.
Chinamen Offer Reward.
Although the mission In Chinatown
where Elsie Sigel formerly taught has
been closed, a meeting of Chinese
whohavcheen converted to Christianity
was held in a Dover street mission to
disniss plans for raising a fund to he
offered as a reward for the capture of
Elsie Slgti's shyer. No definite sum
was decided upon, but a committee
will go through Chinatown soliciting
subscriptions. Thirty Chinaman, all
scholars of various Sunday schools in
the district, attended the meeting and
Rev. Fung Y. Mow acted as chairman.
In discussing the case Rev. Mow
said that Leon Ling had never been
connected with the mission In any
way and as far as ho knew had never
attended any school In Chinatown.
Miss Sigel, he said, had taught him.
The scholars, he continued, keenly
felt the a sgrnce that the murder had
brought upon the mission schools and
stood ready to aid the police in every
way to bring about the capture of the
murderer.

known. All that is definitely known

Caused Decline In Union and Southern
Pacific Stocks.

E. II. Harriman was critically 111 In
Vienna, a report that at times was ex
aggerated to the extent that he was

recovered only a quarter, leaving a
net loss of 3 for the day.
Southern Pacific showed a net loss
of 2, Reading 4Vi, and Amalgamat
ed Copper 3. Losses as high as 12
points from the high water mark of a
few days ago were recorded.
As to the wild rumors, one of Mr.
Harrlman's closest associates said
that he felt convinced any report pur
porting to Indicate that Mr. Harriman
was seriously 111 was utterly false.
"We have received several cable
messages from Mr. Harriman today,"
he said. "One of these was address
ed to a member of his family and gave
no hint of any rhange in Mr. Harrl
man's condition."
