Boston, Nov. 29.-The counsel for
DR.. Percy d. Mcleod now being tried
in the superior criminal court on a
charge of being accessory to an illegal
operation on Miss Susanna Geary the
dress suit case victim, stated at the
opening of the defense, today, that an
attempt would be made to show that
William f. Hunt, had dismembered
the body Of the girl as well as assisted
IN dlsposing of the different parts by
dropping them in suit cases in the
harbor.
Former Senator c. II. Innes. who
began the defense of the accused doc
tor. also stated that it would be ad-
mitted that DR.. Mcleod performed the
operation known as laparotomy upon
the girl, but that he did so to save her
life. Mr. Innes accused Hunt, who,
yesterday, was a witness for the gov
eminent of being the greatest criminal
of the age by the manner in which,
Mr.. 1nncs claimed. he disposed of the
bodies of infants while in Phladel-
phia.
The government closed its side with
the testimony of DR.. John H. Pettee,
who assisted DR.. Mcleod in the opera
ton. DR.. Pettee admitted that he was
friend of the accused physician, but
that he advised him to send the girl
to the City hospital. He also admitted
being frequent visitor to the office of
DR.. Bishop where it is claimed that
the illegal operation. which was the
primary cause of Miss Geary's death,
was performed.
The first witnesses called for the
defense Were callers at the Office of
DR.. Mcleod on the day it is claimed
that Miss Geary's body was dismem-
,bered, Sept. 10. They testified to see
ing the doctor at his office and that
he was not nervous.
The defence then took up the charac-
ter of Hunt, by calling William STAN
ford. Philadelphia detective, who tes-
titled to seeing Hunt frequently in that
city where he said Hunt was known as
DR.. Roberts. He heard Hunt say one
time that he (HunD was a doctor, and
an undertaken. and that there were al
SO dress suit cases handy and the Della
ware river nearby.
The last witness of the day, Mrs.
Grace Ashmead Stanford, wife of the
detective, was relating what Hunt told
her Of the disposal of the bodies of in
fants when the court adjourned until
Friday.
The statement that he had advised
DR.. Percy d. Mcleod to send Susanna
Geary to the City hospital was made,
today, by DR.. John H. Pettee at the
trial. today, of DR.. Mcleod on the
charge of being an accessory in the
case of the death of the Geary girl. The
witness said that he had been called in
tc the case by DR.. Mcleod who had
recommended that they wear masks
while performing the proposed opera
ton to save the girls life DIR. Pettee
said that he agreed to assist in the OPP

When shown the note which was
received by the manager of the Shep-
ard King Co. in Lowell and which stat
ed that Miss Geary was i'll and could
not join the company, witness express

looked like that of DR.. Mcleod. DR..

MIN Owners After Edward Hatch.

An action for libel against the New
York Il Pennsylvania Pulp Co, Of which
A, q. Paine is president, has been
brought by Edward P. Hatch, Jr., Of the
firm of Lord L Taylor. The damages
are placed at $4,000.
The company Is charged with sending
letters to divers persons accusing Mr..
Hatch Of originating lies and spreading
false reports regarding the pollution OF
Lake Champlain. The suit il the result
OF a fight, prolonged over ten years and
vigorously prosecuted for the last two
years, against the pollution Of the waters
of Lake ChampIain by pulp mills. 1t
was waged by the pulp owners OF ripar-
ian rights along The shores of the lake,
many of whom are well known New
Workers.
Mr. Hatch, who is the owner Of extern
sive property about the lake, assumed
leadership of the movement in which he
obtained the active interest and support
Of DIR. w. Seward Webb, George III. Allen,
Henry Holt, and numerous other well
known summer residents AS the result
Of unceasing efforts against the min
owners, in which Mr.. Hatch's life was
several times imperilled BY the lawless
element in the Adirondaeks, Governor
Odell was impelled to order the state
board of health officials to make an in
,vestigation, which resulted in definitely
establishing the fact that the waters of
the lake were polluted by the sludge
from the mills.
"A great victory thus was gained by
Mr.. Hatch and his associates. The mills,
under the pressure of the state health
authorities, have built sedimentation
beds, and into these the refuse has been
deposited. The mill owners now find
that the by-products of refuse are Of
considerable value.
sSome while ago says Mr., Hatch,
"the mill owners were instrumental in
allowing it to be stated publicly that
they had brought suit against me, which
they later saw fit to deny. Every state
lment that / ever made about the pollu-
ton Of the lake has been verified BY the
state health authorities. It has been
said that corporations have no souls, and
am determined to find ont whether
thew are also speechless. 1 intend to
see whether a corporation can cause let
ters TO be sent to various persons and
publications rejecting on my honesty,
character, and reputation, and escape
such punishment as is prescribed by
law simply on the theory that corpora
/ ton can do no wrong.

Paris, Oct. 19.-The French armored
cruiser Desaix, which is understood to

Augusta, Me-, Oct. 19.-The tramp

case at kent's hill in the town of Red
field, on the night OF Aug. II, was eli
minated when Joseph Afford Johnson,
Alias Jones, the alleged hobo, was re-

Johnson was present in the barn with

He was committed to Jail just two
months ago, the day after the murder.
He received 81 a day as witness fees.
The county authorities have evidently

The prisoner held his right hand be-

boy spoke comforting words to her.
The mothers sympathies are entirely
with her imprisoned son, though on the

the killing occurred she weeps silently
for hours at time over the death Of her

The most frequent affection Of the
stomach is catarrh, as the delicate mem
brane which lines the stomach is easily
irritated by harmful food or oyereating.
Keep a strict watch for the first symptoms
OF stomach trouble. Take this friendly
warning in the spirit in which it is given
and profit by it.
Shortness of breath, black specks before
the eyes, furred tongue, dizziness, belch-
ing Of gases or sour food, weakness and
debility are all signs of catarrh OF the
stomach. There is no need to be unduly
