Although the grand jury found no bill
against Morris Nathan, he is still under
arrest to answer in municipal court to
the charge of being implicated in the
death Of Susan Geary. His case yester-
day was put over until Monday.
The Suffolk county grand jury yester-
day heard the whole recital of the suit
case affair, beginning with the home life
of the victim, Susan Geary and continu-
ing down through her stage career, her
visit to the fremont street place, where
the fatal operation was performed, the
removal to the Roxbury house and the
tragic death when with her last breath
she asked those present to pray for her.
Another physician was brought into the
case when DIR. John Fl. Pettee of Rox-
bury was called to tell what he could of
the case. DIR. Mcleod appeared but was
not called before the grand jury.
The first witnesses to be called into
the grand jury room were Leroy Il. Tai
cott and G. Raymond Hodgdon, the two
boys who were out in boat near the
Winthrop racht Club, found the dress
suit case floating in the water and
brought it to the clubs float. They de-
scribed how they had seen the case, how
the men on the yeranda of the yacht club
had told them to bring it ashore. The
suit case contained the torso of wo-
man.
Next there was admitted to the room
DIR. Frank Harris, medical examiner, who
made the first startling discoveries which
told why the woman, then unknown, had
been dismembered, why that crime had
been committed to hide the evidence OF
another.
Following DR.. Harris was Professor
Whitney of the Harvard Medical School,
in whose care the torso was given for
expert examination.
Then came Pawnbroker Rubin, who
sold to the we'll dressed man believed
now to have been Louis Crawford, under
arrest with William Howard or Hunt in
New York, the suit case which held the
torso.
Thomas Madden, engineer of the
lighter +. A. Pike; Edward Fraser, Will
lam Needham and Eugene Lynch, deck
hands, told of the finding of the Sc
cond dress suit case in the Charles River
at the Warren bridge, the suit case that
contained the limbs Of the dead girl, and
because of tile rings left on the fingers
of one hand led to her identification.
Deputy Chief Neil of the State Police
was the next witness
Undertaken Fred Briggs Of Howard
street. who had the care of the limbs
and the head, and Pawnbroker Morris
Berkman, who sold the first dress suit
case to the man supposed to be Louis
Crawford were the next witnesses. At
Ter them came Captain Duncan and
Diver Fred Wallace, who found The bag
containing the girls head between the
East Boston ferry slips.
The grand jury followed the course of
the mystery from one witness to an
other, working late into the night, and
securing chain Of evidence considered
sufficient to bring the indictments re-
ported today. The successful evasion
of he police by the missing nurse, Mrs.
Al6zg Dean, alias Gilfeather, and Of an
cf|zsr doctor in the case had moved the
al}lI5orities to hasten the presentation
