THK CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1000. HI Several Accomplices In the Elsie Sigel Murder. AIDED IN THE TRANSFER OF BODY Expressman Tells of Taking Trunk C6ntaining Corpse of Girl Mis sionary to a Chinese laundry In Harlem. New York, June 30. Information Is at hand which for the first time since the discovery of the murder of Elsie Sigel, the girl missionary, definitely establishes that Leon Ling must have had accomplices and that, though a telegram signed with his name and in his writing was sent from Washing ton, he could not have been there on the date on which She message was Bent. New facts as to the movement of the body In Ntw York, now added to the details previously unearthed concern ing the trip to Newark, N. J., came out through Arthur Logan, an express man in the employ of the Constitution Express company of .this city. He told that at 12 30 p. m. on June 0, the' day of the murder, n lean, light colored Chinaman, ifgreelng perfectly with tho descriptions of Leon Ling, called at his ofllce and told him that he wanted a trunk carted from the top floor of 782 Eighth avenue to the Chi nese laundry of Wall Kee, 370 West One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. When Logan entered the Eighth av enue house shortly afterward he found Leon Ling waiting 4'r him at tho top of the fourth flight 'of stairs, he says. The door to bis room stood open, but it was so dark that the place looked to the expressman like a cave. All tho shades were drawn. In fact, he didn't see the trunk until he stumbled on it. but he noticed that tho door to the adjoining room was, ajar and that four Chinamen, who worfc cues, were mov ing nbout In the obscurity. This Is the door that Chong Sing, Leon Ling's In timate, who is detained as n witness, has sworn was closed. Logan lifted tho trunk with the help of his assistant and. though ho Is a strong man, found it heav,-. lie no ticed that it was stoutly roped. AVhen he got to the Ilurlom address he found Wah KeA waiting for him. "All right; 50 cents,! said Kee. ' Fifty cents had been the charac agreed on- with Leon Ling. Wah Kee knew of It In advance, so tho express man thinks, and his views are shared by tho police. There was no hesitancy about accepting tho trunk. Wah Kee ordered It carried through the laundry to the kitchen and sleeping room lu the rear, where Logan left it. Nearly eight hours later Leon Ling called at the ofllce of tho New York Taxicab company at the coiner of One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street nnd Eighth avenue and asked how much It would cost him for a taxicab to Newark. He was told $12 and in structed the driver, Martin Luria, to call at Wah Kee's laundry. AVhen Lurla got to the laundry at 11:55 p. in. he found that the heavier part of his fare was n stoutly corded trunk. Leon Ling was pacing the street nervously while the truuk was being lifted to the front seat, and insisted that f tightly lashed, lest it fall and breui The trunk secured, he stepped Into ihe taxi himself and pulled all the shades. Not once on the journey to Newark did ho put his head out the window, except at the ferry to pay the tolls. To the restaurant nt 04 Market street, Newark, he had been told to drive and when he arrived there at 2 o'clock in the morning of June 10 LI Sing, the proprietor, met him at the door and helped him carry the trunk to a rear room. He was paid nnd drove back to Nov? York. , The foregoing 1'aets accounting for. I'.jw the body got to Newark came out for the first time through the taxi cab driver himself, Martin Lurla. His narrative dovetails with the testimony of James Ualstead, a Newark cab man, who took the body and Leon Ling back to the Eighth avenue room on the afternoon of tho same day, where the body flayed until fountl by the police. Leon Ling vanished in the meantime. WAR ON BROWN TAIL MOTH. Fifty Government Experts Begin Op erations at Rye, N. Y. Rye, N. Y., June 30.

FOUND IN SLAYER'S BUNGALOW Lyman J. Gage's Ward, Though the Wife of Another, Wrote Pas sionate Poetical Missives to Fugitive Broker. Baltimore, June 30. Letters found upon the person of Robert E. Eastman at the bungalow following his death and which throw light on the mystery of the murder of Mrs. Edith May Woodill were made public by the state attorney. Probably the most remarkable letter was one found in tho bungalow signed "Edith." This letter, sent to Easton, not only indicates the warm feeling of Gilbert Woodili's wife for the fugitive broker, but seems to prove that she had known him for at least more than a year. The letter was In part as follows: "Is the Iron immodest when it creeps to the loadstone and clings to its Bide? Is the seed Immodest when it sinks Into the ground with budding life? Is the cloud bold when it softens Into rain and falls to earth because it has no other choice, or is it brazen when it nestles on the bosom of heaven's arched dome and, sinking Into the blue black infinity, ceases to be itself? "Is the human soul immodest when, drawn by a force Ui cannot resist, it seeks a stronger soul, which absorbs its ego as the blue sky absorbs n float ing cloud and as the warm earth swells the sea, as tho magnet draws the Iron? "I do not feel myself to be bold or wrong or 'in myself for drifting to ward you as I do. I would not feel myself wrong to go straight to you to morrow. "There is ever and always some hu pian soul to love and trust us and whoso confidence wo would not niter. Wo are not of our own making, and our lives belong to another Brahma, who rules and is wise. "Dream of you, did I say? Long for you would be better, for every heart beat scorns to cry out against the enor mity of tho crime that makes me no longer yours. All tho best in every thing seems only to exist because of you and for you. "I hate existence away from you. "Kemcmber me always, as you loved me best, and, though were you a a bandit anything my heart would beat In responsiveness to your's." On the same paper in Eastman's handwriting is the following: "Little Dear I cannot live after our short of bliss, with our parting ever before me. If we meet in the un known lets continue the blissful times that wo spent here. I am with you in every thought." SWEET THINGS. How Boti. Them Wanted to Pay the Car Fare. "Really," sii J tho lady with the bee hive hat, "I insist." "No, dear," protested her compan ion, whose hat was nearly as great in llameter as a turntable at a round louse, "you mustn't. Please let mo. I iavo tho change right hero. Let me iee. I wonder" "But you paid for me last time. I have tho money all ready. Conductor, :an you change a ten dollar bill?" "Now, I shall not permit you to have that broken. I have some change all ready, if I can only find it. Dear me, I tvonder what I" "It's all right. I want to get this bill :hanged anyway. I wonder where I put" "No, no, really, you mustn't. I thought I had the change all ready. I must have lost a nickel of it somehow. But I have n five dollar bill that" "Did you say you had a nickel?" "Yes." "Well, I have one, too, so I'll pay for fou next time." "No, you shan't do so. I shall insist." Then each handed out her nickel, laying to herself: "The idea of her pretending to have i bill! She never had more than 20 :ents at one time In her life." Chicago Record-Herald. Red Was Reminiscent. "Why Is that haughty Miss Labur Dum so prejudiced against everything red?" "Don't you know?

With a fizz! and a boom! and a bang! With a bang! and a boom! and a fllzz! Oh, this the song the firecracker sang With the boom! and the bang! and the fllzz: "From the farthest of faraway lands, From the land of the rice and bamboo, By the cunning Chinee with his dex trous hands We are molded and fashioned for you. "Would It seem like the Fourth of July Without our explosion and noise? Oh, the men on parade march quiet ly by, But the crackers belong to the boys! "There's no need for the sun to arouse All the world on this Fourth of July, For we're up and we're off, though the grown folk may drowse, We wake the whole land when we try.'' With a fizz! and a boom! and a bang! To the very last sizzle and sigh. Oh, these are the words that the fire cracker sang, "Hurrah for the Fourth of July!" St. Nicholas. JULY 4. Spread your bunting; hang yovr wreaths; Let your banners be unfurled. Shout until the welkin seethes All about the deafened world. Get your old time speeches out, Cheer until you split the skies, But be careful while you spout Of your eyes. Drag the ancient cannon forth. Load it to the muzzle's brim. Let the east, south, west and north Echo with its blim-blam-bllm! Let the crackers hiss and spit, Rocket sticks come down kerplunk, But be careful how you sit On the punk. Let the Roman candles flare All the darkened heavens through. Let the mortars fill the air Full of stars red, '.white and blue. Let the fluent red lights flow. Dimming both the moon and sun, But be careful how you blow Down your gun. Roar, rejoice and speechify. Go through all the bag of tricks With which now we glorify Heroes of old seventy-six, But, no matter what your glee Mid the roar of bursting bombs, Careful, oh, most careful be Of your thumbs! Liberty a blessing is Worthy to be glorified, Worthy of the fiery whiz Of a nation full of pride, But It seems a bauble vain Empty, useless thing of chance, When there follows in itf train. An ambulance! John Kendrick Bangs. HIS PROTEST. The boy held the firecracker too long. When it shattered itself it burned his thumb. He howled with pain and thrust the wounded member into his mouth ' "We are getting too much govern' ment in this country," he presently cried.

He was all here in the morning When forth from his home he set out, Safeguarded by many a warning Which he his forgetting, no doubt. .His state of completeness was pleas ant When for tireworks he started to roam. This is the question at present: How much of him's coming back home? Will there be fingers found missing? Will he have all of his toes? His mouth, is it still straight for kissing? Has he altered the shape of his nose? Tis a moment for waiting and guess ing. Are we victorors ore are we bereft? This is the question that's preying: How much of dear Willie Is left? A Valued Possession. My little sister, three years old, had a peach given her which was the first she had ever seen. When I saw it I went up to her and, taking the peach from her, took a bite out of it. Immediately sho began to cry, nnd I asked her what sho was crying for. "I wanted to keep that little woolen apple," was her reply. Delineator. The Era of New Mixed Paints' This year open.3 wicn a deluge of new mixed paints.
