(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
New .York, June 22 Chong S'.ng,
the friend of Leon Ling, supposed
murderer of Elsie Siegel, broke down
today under one of the most unre
mitting and determined applications
of the "third degree" ever known at
police headquarters and finally con
fessed that he had seen Ling less
than two weeks ago, that Elsie Sigel
may have been in Ling's room on
June 9 and that Ling had a tistiight
witn Chit Gain on Pell street several
days before the murder. Chong Singn
was under police torture for nearly
fifteen hours before he broke 'down.
The Chinese who were brought to
headquarters after he had been cap
lured in West Galway contradicted
himself many times during the rigid
cross-examination. He was terror
stricken at the end of the ordeal, but
the one declaration that he did not
know where TeOn Ling was now was
i nshaken. He will be put through
the "third degree" again with a few
hours. While Chong Sing was being
questioned, word -came to headquar
ters that a Chinese answering in
pnrt the description of Leon Ling
had been arrested in Pittsburg ana
tlmt a supposed friend ,'- of Ling,
named Joe Moy, of New York, had
been arrested at the union station in
Chicago. Moy was said to be in pos
session of Information which may
lend to the arrest of Leon Ling and
will be brought back to New York,
it is thought Chong Sing, however,
that the police here hup, to locate
Leon. They are convinced that he
knows where Leon went when he left
New York on the day the Sigel girl
was murdered, and they believe he
will confess after he has been put
tnrough the 'third degree"' again.
New York, June 22 With whole
sale arrests of Chinamen going on in
America in the hunt for Long Ling,
or William T. Leon, suspected of the
murder of Elsie Slgeh granddaughter
of General Franz Sigel, the Civil War
hero, these Important developments
stand out:
First. Detective Forbes, of central
office, brought back to this city Chong
Sing. room-mate of Leon Ling, the
supposed slayer of Elsie Sigel, and
he was locked up as a material wit
nessr The police are certain that un
der the "third degree" he will reveal
something as to. the movements ol
Ling. ,
Second. The arrest of a China
man, believed to be Leon Ling, on a
westbount Canadian Pacific train at
Revelstoke, about 300 miles eaBt of
Vancouver, by order of the New Yon;
authorities.
Third. The translation of the let
ter sent by "Sam Wing", or No. 85
Bayard street, to "William L. Lone",
at Washington, which disclosed a plot,
against white women and fixes the
murder of Elsie Sigel, the police say,
jipon William Lone. ,
, Chong Sing, who was arretted at
wVst Galway, N. Y., by the police of
. Amsterdam, admitted having roomed
next ,, to Leon in the Eighth avenue
house,where Elsie Slgel's body wa
found in" a trunk, but he said he saw
Leon only .once every two weeks, be
cause most'of the time he slept in a
restaurant ae No. 482 Twenty-ninth
street where he. had beeil employed
for the last five months as a cook.
In thus describing himself Sing
talked glibly enough, but he soon in
volved , himself In contradictions.
First he said he had left New York
June 10 to go to the Kennedy.home,
having been engaged fn New York,
hut when he was shown a New York
paper of June 12 he said he had
bought that In New York.
Asked about his room-mate, Leon,
. he said, he did not see him for sev
eral days before he left New York.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, June 22 Western
republican senators who are insisting
that the presont duty of fifteen per
cent on hides shall be retained, say
that they have the votes to adopt the
committee amendment, and that they
will serve 'notice on the senate con
ferees that the duty must stand ot
the tariff bill will not get through in
a hurry. .
Nothing has so split the finance
committee as the hide question. The
eastern senators are arrayed against
those from the west. If it were not
for the democrats, who are opposed
to free raw material, the finance com
mittee would be defeated, which
would be the first defeat for Senator
Aldrlch.
Senate leaders deny the assertions
made yesterday in certain quarters
that bi'caust) there will probably be, a
long debate on the Taft amendment
levying a two per cent tax on the in
come of corporations, the amendment
will go over until next December. XA
member vo-he. nartce-eonrmlttee
said today that the amendment
would in all probability be ready to
report to the senate tomorrow after
noon or Thursday morning, but this
does not mean that it will come up
at that time for consideration. It
will be printed for the use of the
senate. ' Comparatively few senators
have any knowledge of the wording
of the amendment.
The senate met at 10" o'clock. The
tariff bill was taken up at once for
consideration. After several minor
changes were made in different
Schedules the hide amendment was
taken up;' Senator MeCumber, of
North Dakota, addressed the senate
In favor of a duty on hides.

INVESTIGATION
TO GO ON STAND
Say That They Never Saw
Ber Intoxicated or Under
Influence of Liquor
NEW WOMAN IN CASE
Further Rebuttal of the Charge of
Intoxication Offered Today by Mrs.
Could in Her Suit for Separation
Mrs. Gould Accompanied to Court
by Stylishly Dressed Woman Who,
it is said, Will Testify in Her Fa
var But the Identity of the Woman
is Not RevealedJames J. Bren
nan the First Witness Never Saw
Mrs. Gould Drunk.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
New York, June 22 Further re
buttal of the charges of intoxication
prepared against her by Howard
Uould was offered today by Mrs.
Katherine Clemmons Gould before
lustice Dowling.
Mrs. Gould was accompanied to
court by a stylishly dressed woman
who, it was said, -would testify in
her favor. The identity of the new
witness was not revealed by Mrs.
Gould's lawyers. She was termed
the 'woman of mystery" Immediately.
Clarence J. Shearn called as his
first witness James J. Brennan, at
present janitor of the public school
it Westbury, L. I.
'I was employed as general util
ity man at Castle Gould from .May,
1904, until April, 1906," Brennan
said. "I never saw Mrs. Gould In
toxicated or even showing the least
signs of having taken liquor."
"Did you ever hear Mrs. Uould
swear?" asked Mr. Shearn.
"1 did not, although there were
times "
Tlie answer was not completed be
cause of Nicoll's objections.
Specific denial of tbe testimony
given by Carlson against Mrs. Gould
was then given by the witness. Bren
nan said that on the occasion when
Carlson said he had, to put his arm
ibout Mrs. Gould to prevent her fall
ing from a skeleton brake, the fact
was that Mrs. Gould "had a better
position on the seat than the driver."
"Mrs. Gould supervised the laying
out of the race course on the grounds
and gave instructions in regard to
putting up hurdles," he continued.
"I thought Mrs. Gould - was the
most democratic person I ever met."'
Mcoll tried to have this excluded
but Justice Dowling allowed it to
stand, . :.", ;,.
Airs. Gould smiled her appreciation
of the witness' descripton of her.
Brennan told Dr. Nicoll that be was
usually called In to take charge of tho
tables, when Mrs. Gould discharged
her help.
"And you were old reliable" called
in to hold the fort until the new man
irrivcd?" Asked Nicoll.
"That's right Old Reliable," re
sponded the witness while everyon
laughed.
To Shearn the witness said he kept
no diary while employed at the castle.
rhis was offered to show that the
Servants who testified against Mrs.
Uould did so under Instructions of
others. -.
Frank J. Kohn, for U months chef
for Mrs. Could, was the next witness.
Mrs. Gould wkas very particular
about menu cards. She said that Mr.
i loiild Was under the doctor's care and
could not eat brown gravy and pars
ley," said Bohn before Nicoll Inter
rupted him.
Asked why he lost his position on the
Niagara the chef said that the captain
wanted him to cook for the crew as
well as for Mrs. Gould. Bohn said he
wouldn't do that and he was asked to
leave. :
Mali Ice Denach, a "ladies hair
dresser" of No. lO West 29th street,
said he knew Mrs. Gould for : nine
years. "''.
"I dressed Mrs. Gould's hair twe or
three times a week during that time,"
lie said. f
"On February 1, 1906, MrS. Gould
called me to dress her hair, he want
ed to go to the wedding of Miss Louns
bury at St. Thomas, Church." ,
Nicoll objected. He said ' that no
evidence had been Introduced on the
point in question. i
"Hut you make, very scandalous al
legations In your answer," Shearn
offered.
Justice Dowling ruled to allow the
evidence. . - , .!:
"Mrs. Gould was not under the In
fluence ''of liquor that day, nor did I
ever see her In that condition ' the
"artist" said.
Nicoll endeavored to show that It
was the custom for ladies having thler
hair dressed to partake of , refresh
ments, mineral water or sometimes
whiskey.
