LING CERTAIN OF CAPTURE.
Inspector McCafferty Gives the First
Authentic Account of Miss Si
gel's Murder.
N-w York. June 28.-Inspector Me
Cafertv. chief of the New York de
tee-ive bureau, gave out to-night tie
first authentic statement en the mur
der of Elsie Sigel that has been made
by :he police since the -discovery of
*he zirl 's body on June 18, in a trunk
in the bed room of Leon Ling, an
Americanized Chinaman, in an 'Eighth
avenue chop suey restaurant.
"We shall catch t'he murderer,"
the inspector said. "Delay does not
alter that, although it ehafes us. The
whole country is one vast rat-trap
wit.h every exit guarde'd.
"The girl was killed between 10
o 'elock in the morning a.nd noon of
June 9. and we believe Leon Ling is
the man who did it, with Chung Sing,
his intimate, as a possible accomplice.
We 'have Chung ~Sing. From his
room in Eighth avenue, Leon Ling
-went straigh-t to Washintgon and
there sent the "don't worry'' tele
gram signed "Elsie,'' received on the
nialht of the murder by the Sigel fain
ily. From Washington he retu-rned
to New York .and somewhere about
miainight of June 9 took the body in
a t:ank to Newark, arriving there
about 2 a. in., on June 10. We don't
know how 'he took it. That leg of the
journey has not been accounted for.
Unable to dispose of his trunk, Leon
returned to New York with the body,
0on the afternoon of June 10, and left
it in his room. From that moment we
lose all trace of him. So far as we
know he 1had no other possible ac
complice than Chung Sing.
"No other murder that I can re
men:ber has attraeted such wide in
ter&st or such enthusiastic coopera
tion on the part of the police of other
cities. All the forces of the country
are working as one great machine. We
have fiftv men of our own in the eit
ies of the East.
" The only possible ship on which
Leon could have left the country is
due :o arrive in Yokohoma on July 3.
She will be watched."
All the Chinese laundries in the
eit.v, which are operated by four comn
panes in the name of individual man
aers. received noti-ees to-day in Chi
nese from the owners warning em
ployees that they must have nothing
to do with white women beyond bus
iess over the counter, on pain of dis
mssal.
New York. June 28.--An express
man brought information to head
quarters late to-night apparently at
varaance with Inspector McCafferty 's
statement. He said that on June 9, he
had taken a trunk from the house in
which the body was found to a Chi
nese laundry in Harlem. He could not
remember the address, but showed a
receipt signed Wath Lee.

A. J. GIBSON,
J. H. WEST,
and the declaration of State's Attor- to
ney Taylor that lie was through with tr,
the case. the strange dual tragedy, st
which has for nearly a week focused at
the eyes of the entire country upon ro
this little out-of-the-way hamlet of
Maryland's famous eastern shore be
came a closed incident to-day. St
Four of the twelve jurors, who lis
tened to the testimony at the reopen- br
ed inquest, refused to sign the verdict H<
until the words "or accessory to the
crime" were added to the draft, la4
which, approved by the majority,
bluntly accused Eastman of the mur- or,
der. None of the four dissenting jury
men would say that any other per- hi;
son than Eastman was responsible for
the girl 's death. Thef merely wished
to protest, they said. against the man- Ci
ner in which the inquiry was conduct
ed, declaring that much available ev- as
idence was not adduced.
The jury sat for a time to-day in
the lonely bungalow itself, within we
sight of Eastman 's unmarked grave,
not fifty feet away. Mrs. Eastman si<
ad visited the place earlier in the
day, and had stood dry-eyed for a in
time beside the, new made mound. m
Some one with ill-,judged humor had
planted a tomato vine on the grave. thI
Mrs. Eastman, thinking the vine was
a native flower, asked what it was. No
one had the temerity to te4l her. Sheh
stood by the grave until at last a
convulsive shudder shook her shoul
ders. Then she was led away.
No one was seen about the bunga
low on the Sunday when Mrs. Woodill
was slain. There was absolutely no
evidence that any one other than m
Eastman could have been responsible
for the crime.
And the final t'heory of the authori
ties is this: That Eastman was in
need of money; that he probably had
been getting money from Mrs.
Woodill for some time, that he un
doubtedly knew something of her
past life, and that he had been black
mailing her; that he attempted to
continue this practiee, and that the
woman rebelled, intimating that she,
too, had found out certain things
about Easiman, and that if driven
to it would expose him.
An interesting development of to
day was the finding of the scraps of
a torn letter in the cracks of the
bungalow. Little of sense could be1
made from the fragments of the let
'ter. but the writing was identified as
that of Mrs. Woodill. The letter was
about the visit of someone to some
place, to be "chaperoned or not as
she saw fit."
There was talk to-day of having
an analysis made of the contents of
the bottle found in the shack on yes
terday, and which is believed to con
tan narcotic drugs. which may have
been used upon Mrs. Woodill prior to
her murder. But the analysis was re-1
garded as unnecessary in view of the
finding of the jury. and the coroner
remarked t:hat -the county already had
spent enough money on the lament
able case.
Mrs. Eastman was granted letters
of administration to-day and all of
her husband's real and personal
property will be turned over to her.
She will go back to New York soon
and return to the stage.
