MCLEOD UNDER ARREST
SURGEON WHO PERFORMED OF.
GRAFTON ON MISS GEARY.
Now Believed that Nathan Conducted
Negotiations for the Illegal
Treatment, and Was Aware
of the Result.

Boston, Nov. 3.-Following a brief
consultation by officers by telephone,
the scene of developments in the IA
nous suit case mystery has shifted
from New York back to Boston.
DIR. Percy D. Mcleod. a reputable
physician of the Back Bay district, was
arrested today on the charge of per-
forming an illegal operation on Susan
Geary, the Cambridge chorus girl.
whose remains were found In two suit
cases in the waters of Boston Har-
Dor.
Through the confession of Louis
Crawford and William Howard, the two
men arrested in New York yesterday,
the authorities received evidence which
in their opinion warranted the arrest
of Dr. Mcleod this afternoon. 1t Is
alleged that DIR. Mcleod was called
into the case after the first operation
was performed in the fremont Street
Office, and that he performed a second
operation of a desperate nature In the
vain attempt to save the life of the
young woman. Miss Geary falling to
recover, 1t is alleged that DR.. Mcleod.
in an effort to conceal the crime, dis
membered the body.
DR.. Mcleod will be arraigned in
court tomorrow morning. No sum has
been set tonight as the amount of his
hail bond but District Attorney NJ. ].
Sudrhue stated that 1t was believed
that owing to the gravity of the case.
a large bond would be required.
Morris Nathan. the lover of the cho-
rus girl. who was arrested in Pittsburg
and brought to this city in a state of
coIlapse, is gradually recovering at
the city hospital. wher he was taken
on his arrival here. but is not yet in
a condition to be brought into court.
Nathan will probably be arraigned
Monday.
While at first the police were of the
opinion that Nathan was not directly
connected with the case, they now say
that Nathan conducted the negotiations
with the proprietors of the fremont
street establishment. the place with
which Crawford was connected, and
that he was fully aware Of the result
of the operation.
