ADMIT SIGNATURE A FORGERY
Brandenburg New Claims It Was Sub
stituted for Real One.
New York, Juno 19. Tho two words
on n Blip of .paper Jn a glass case
Grovor Clevolnml nbutit which tho
trial of Uroughton Brnntlonburg, the
magazine writer, charged with grand
larceny for tho sale to tho Now York
Times of nn article purporting to liavo
been written by Mr, Cleveland, has
largely centered so far, lost something
of their Importance when Brandon
burg's counsel announced that his ell
ent would admit that the signature
was a forgery and not that of the
former president.
This rather surprising turn in the
cubc occurred after Richard Watson
Qlldor, the veteran magazine editor,
had declared emphatically on tho
stnnd that the stgnaturo shown him
wns not that of his old friend, Grovei
Cleveland. At this point Branden
burg's lawyer said: "We do not con
tend thnt tho signature In the glass
case Is genuine."
Brandenburg turned and said: "Wo
intend to show that tho forged signa
ture was substituted for tho real one
I never saw this s'ignaturo till the
trial commenced.'"

SIGEL SLAYER

FITTED DESCRIPTION OF LEON.
Roommate Also Caught at Amsterdam,
N. Y., but Little Has Been .Learned
From Him Body of Murdered Girl
Is Quietly Burled, Attended by Rela
tives Only Mission Where Victim
Worked Is Closed.
New York, June 22. After a hit of
pollco flurry, nn hour or two of unveri
fied roports and telephoning between
cities, tho murder of Elsie Sigel,
daughter of Paul Sigel of this city and
granddaughter of Major General
Franz Sigel of civil war fame, resolved
itself Into an unsolved crime again.
Chung Sin, who formerly occupied a
room adjqluing thnt whero the girl's
body was found, is held by the police
at tho little up stato vlllago of Amster
dam, N. Y., but what has been learned
from him has served to clear up tbp
case little, If any. At Schenectady a
man nt first thought to no Leon Ling,
or William L. Leon, who is thought to
bo tho girl's murderer, according to
all indications, pretty well established
that he is an inoffcndjng Celestial who
formerly resided in New York and
whoso nrrest was brought about mere
ly through a strikingly unfortunate
resemblance to Leon Ling.
Tho disappearance of Chung Sin
about the time the murder was discov
ered made tho polico eager for his ap
prehension, which was considered sec
ond in importance to that of Leon,
but tho interview with him at Amster
dam seems to havo brought out noth
ing of value to tho authorities. He
maintnins that he rarely associated
with Leon and, while acquainted with
Elsie Sigel, knows nothing of tho mur
der. Thus, with his arrest of no great
Import, the caso, asjde from develop
ments in Nw York, Is about where it
was when Elsie Slgel's body was
found In the trunk in a room over the
Eighth avenue chop suey restaurant
last Friday night.
In the midst of all tho police activ
ity the body of Elsie Sigel was quietly
burled in Woodlnwn cemetery. As
tho father had announced that ho
wished to avoid any more publicity,
the coffin containing the mutilated
form was taken directly from the
morguo to the burying ground in a
plain undertaker's wagon. Tho cere
mony at tho grave was strictly private
ahd was attended only by her fnther,
two brothers, Reginald and Theodore,
and by her uncle, Franz Sigel.
Mrs. Sigel, it will be recalled, col
lapsed when she learned of her daugh
ter's death, and is now In a sanita
rium. Although tho mission in China
town where Elslo Sigel former
ly taught has been closed, a meeting
of Chinese who havo been converted
to Christinnjty was held In a Bojer
street mission to discuss plans for
raising a fund to be offered as a re
ward for the capturo of Elsie Slgel's
slayer.
A dispatch from Vancouver received
here says that a Chinaman answering
tho description of Leon Ling, sup
posed murderer of Elsie Sigel, was
taken from a westbound Canadjan Pa
cific train at Reveistoke, B. C. When
the murder was first discovered It was
supposed that Leon Ling had departed'
for Vancouver. . t
GOULD RESTS HIS CASE
Believes Evidence Already Submitted
Is Sufficient.
Now York, June 22. sensation seek
ers and the curious who have attended
dally the sessions of Katherjne Clem
mons Gould's suit for a separation
trom her husband, Howard Gould,
were disappointed at tiio resumption
of tho hearings beforo Justice Dow
ling in tho supiome court, when it wus
announctd that tho defense rested and
that Howard Gould wouid not take the
stand. Clarenco J. Shearn, counsel tor
tho plaintiff, apparently was greatly
surprised. Air. Gould seemed relieved
and Mrs. Gould annoyed.
"Slnco tl)e recess of last Friday,
your honor," said Do Lancey NJcoll,
counsel for Mr. Gould, "my associates
and I havo decided that the testimony
which we havo offered Is so complete
that there is no necessity for going
further. Therefore, we have decided
to rest."
Mr. Shearn led off tho rebuttal with
testimony designed to show, ho ex
plained, "tho falsity of the charges
that Mrs. Gould was continually and
constantly Intoxicated from 1902 to '
the present date."
Ho proved by many bolow-stalrs wit
nossos, whoso testimony wns followed
by the reading of depositions by
friends and guosts thnt Mrs. Gould's
disposition was always affable.
