tic statement on tho murder of ElaJo
SIgel that has been made by tho po
lice Blnco tho discovery of tho glrl'n

room of Leon Ling, an Americanized
Chinaman, In Eighth avenue.
"Wo shall catch the murderer," tho

LEON LING,
whole country Is one vast rat trap,
wjth every exit guarded. Tho girl

We have fifty men of our own force
