Ling Blamed for Message in Elsie Sigel Case
Washington reporters say police doubt proof Ling visited Washington after the suspected murder date yet believe he was here. They think he did not have a woman with him and that a telegram to Elsie Sigel’s parents was a ruse to ease their fears and buy him time to hide. The parents suspect Ling or a friend sent the message, not Ling with another American woman.
