When the Boston party. arriv- ed at police headquarters to-day the prisoners were brought out for inspec- ton. Chief Watts recognized Craw- ford and said: "I feel sure that Craw- ford is the head man in this case.

 Chief Watts said that the case against those who caused the death of Miss Geary was practically closed now but there would probably Dc other ar rests within few days. Who is to be arrested and where, he would not say.
