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.

LOVE FOR EASTPilN
Shown In Edith Woodili's
Letters to Him.
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:

READY FOIt THE FOURTH.
Blow the fife and beat the drumsl
The nation's glorious birthday comes.
Land of tho brave, home of the free,
Won't we celebrate? Hully geel
We've been ready a week or more.
Mother's laid in a double store
Arnica, bandages, oil and lotions,
Plaster and pills and soothing po
tions. Everywhere that a fellow turns
He trips on something that's good
for burns.
Mother says with pride that we
Are the readiest patriots you could
see.
Father's bought crutches and wood

Some of his children must lose their

But legs are trifles, says dad, says

When lost in the cause of liberty.
And as for a finger, ear or eye,
They're nothing at all on the Fourth
of July.
Granddad is ready, too, you bet,
With everything that it's wise to
get
Double insurance our house is
wood
A cute little monument, all to the
good,
To place o'er the ono whose happy
lot
May lead to rest in our burial plot.
He's old, Is granddad, but never says

Except, of course, on the Fourth of

SONG OF THE FIRECRACKER.
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. "That order to squelch the
premature fireworks has put me all
out of practice."
And he looked long and tenderly
at his blistered thumb.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Gee whiz!
What a great big man Undo Sam
Is!
And what
A lot
He has done
Since he was begun!
And why?
Because it was on the Fourth of
July
That he began.
His plan
Of stepping out
Wtthout a doubt
That If he waded right In
He'd win!
And, by zucks, so far,
Hasn't he got thar?
And that ain't all.
He ain't small
At all
And all
Of the western terrestrial ball
That ain't otherwise engaged he
Will look after. See?
And some that is
As, for instance, that Spanish
biz.
And why?
Because it's the Fourth of July,
The greatest day
On earth! And, say,
When Freedom leads the way
She waves
She waves
The Fourth of July at slaves,
And they shake off the shackles
then
And become men!
And why?
Because It's the Fourth of July!
Gee whiz,
What a great day it is!
Sizz!
Fizz!
Whiz!
What a glory day it is!
Let the cannon roar
From ship and shore.
Let the eagle scream
By lake and stream.
Let us march with a tread
That will wake the dead.
Let the bands play ,
All day
And sweep the sky
With the flags on hand!
And why?
Because it's the Fourth of July!
Gee whiz,
What a tremendous, stupendous,
Perpetual, perennial, pyrotechni-
cal, Indestructible,
Indescribable, inimitable, incandes
cent, ebullient
And enthusiastic day it is!
And why?
Because it's the Fourth of July!

LITTLE WILLIE ON THE FOURTH.
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

When I saw it I went up to her and,
taking the peach from her, took a bite

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.
