New York. Special: Elsie Sigel and Chu Gain, the wealthy Chinatown restaurant keeper, who supplanted William Leon in her affections, were married in Philadelphia, according to the latest information received by the police. This alleged fact, learned by Leon, drove him to kill the girl, the police nw believe, and also to plan the murder of Chu Gain. This startling phae of the case became known through a clergyman of St. Ni holas Church. He told the police a girl resembling Elsie Sigel and a Chinese answering the description ol Chu Gain came to him shortly before
June y. the day of the murder, and asked to be married. The clergyman, whoso identity has not been revealed by the police, refus-d to marry the co.:ple because one of them was a Chinese. He told thim he would ha? to get into communication with the girl's parents first and obtain their permission, also their presence. This so disconcerted the pair that they left abruptly, saying they were going to

murdered in Robert's bungalow. Mrs. Woodlll had been associating with Roberts for some time. Last Saturday she went to Dr. Smlthers, a dentist, at Hnston. to have her teeth treated. Roberts had arranged by letter to meet her at Royal Oak Station. Roberts got as far as Has ton in his launch, then, missing the train, hired a team and drove to Royal Oak, where he met Mrs. Woodlll and drove back to St. Michaels, avoiding the main streut and malting directly for the pier where his launch was tied. Leav
ing Mrs. Woodill standing on the bridge he disposed of the team. After the pair had pushed off from the pier, they wei passed by Edward Orem. one of the Jurymen at the Inquest which decided that the young
woman had come to her death as the result of foul play. Early Tuesday morning, crabbers, who were working th night previous said they saw a boat not far from them and a heavy object was raised and Uscd into the water with a loud splash. The body was borne by a strong westerly wind to the opposite shore, where it was found bv two boys. A heavy iron iot was tied to the body and it was testified at the inquest that it was formerly used In the house which recently burned down on the site of Robert's bungalow. The murdered woman's husband was hero only two weeks ago and it is thought his presence aroused the jealousy of Roberts. Mrs. Woodlll was educated in Enrope and is said to have sung in the
best theaters and music halls in the
Chicago. Special: The cup of free ! dorn was hid to the Hps of a prison
er in Judge Ilrentano's court, only to be snatchl away when It was dlscovered that the clerk of the courl
should have read the Jury s verdict as

Robinson, government caretaker ol the Summit House. Is hovering be
tween life and death at tho St. Francis
Hospital In this city.
The ficht was the result of n quar
rel over the charge demanded by Rob

resting place for those who make the peak trip. The fight took place in to
tal darkness In the middle ol tnc night, whon the three men were the
only ones on the mountain top.
Shipley and Clark arrived In this
city from the East two days ago. Thoy
were well dressed, seemed to have plenty of money and made a number
of friends. Saturday night they de
cided to walk up to the summit ol
Pike's Peak, a favorite trip of tourists in the Rocky Mountain region.
They reached the summit at 1
o'clock and were weakened to th
point of exhaustion by the icy winds and the blinding snowstorm. They rapped on the door of the Summit
House, where Robinson was nsieop.
The latter admitted them and they had something to eat. After thoy had
come back to the main room, which
was Illuminated only by the candle in an adjoining room, a quarrel arose
over the price of rooms for tho remainder of the night. According to
the story of one of the men. Robinson
ordered them out. With no place tc
spend the night until the little train
of tho famous cog road could take them
back to Manltou, they refused to leave. When the two continued to remain. Robinson, who Is said to possess a hasty temper, went back to tho lunch counter and drew a short heavy billy.
which he kept for protection. Then the three men closed in a fierce death
struggle. After several minutes ol desperate fighting Robinson dropped back unconscious.
