New York Police Throw Cordon About
Narrow Territory in New Jersey.
New York, June 30. The police cordon thrown about the comparatively narrow territory comprising Paterson, Passaic, Hackensack and other neighboring towns in New Jersey is tightening today around a number of Chinamen among whom the police hope to find trace of Leon Ling, the supposed murderer of Elsie Sigel. Fifty of the best detectives of Inspector McCafferty's staff have been sent into this district and the concentration of so many of them virtually in one spot lends color to the belief that some important information, so far carefully guarded from the public, is in the possession of the police.
The double mystery of the independent movements immediately following the murder, of Leon Ling on the one hand and of the trunk containing the body of Elsie Sigel on the other, was no nearer solution today, after the detectives had run down the latest clue, the alleged moving of the trunk on the night of June 9 from Leon Ling's rooms in Eighth avenue to a laundry in West 126th street. According to the story related by the man who is supposed to have moved the trunk, Leon Ling did not accompany it on its travel from the Eighth avenue address to Harlem, but sent it on by express. The laundry was found untenanted when the detectives visited it, however, and no evidence of value obtained.
