Police, However, viii Make
NoArrestfor Dayor Two.
Theory Is That Miss Geary Sub
mitted to Illegal Operation
At Hands Of Woman-.-M Doc
tor Called as Last Resort,

Boston, Oct. 31.-Just before leaving
his office at police headquarters, to-
night. Chief Inspector w. B. Watts
stated that the doctor who dismembered
the body Of Susanna A. Geary, the suit
case victim, had been located. He did
not expect, however, that any arrest
would be made for a day or two, init
mating that the police were awaiting
something more definite from Morris
Nathan, the lover Of the girl, who is
now in custody in Pittsburg, Pa.
Chief Watts statement was as fol-
lows:
1.-The doctor has been located. We
knew where he is and can put our
hands on him when we want him. There
Is no need Of seeking any further clues,
as far as this one man is concerned, be-
cause we know where he is"
The chief then added that he did not
look for an arrest either, tonight or to-
morrow.
The theory of the police regarding the
whole affair, is that Miss Geary went
to a woman and submitted to Il GRIM
inal operation. 1t was not a success
and male physician was called in who
attempted to save the girls life by
second operation for peritonitis. Miss
Gerry, however, died. The doctor then
dismembered the body and distributed
PORTIONS in two suit cases which were
subsequently found.
The charge against the woman can
only be one of manslaughter, while ac-
cOrding to Superintendent Pierce of the
local force. it will be difficult to bring
any charge against Nathan unless he
should be accused of concealing a
crime.
That both woman and a man were
with Miss Geary during her last hours
or days, is believed to be shown by the
physicians certificate. which was sent
to the manager of 1.-The Shepherd
King" Company of which she and Ma
than were members, giving an excuse
for her absence. The certificate was
written by aswoman. while the address
on the envelope was in a mans hand
whiting.
Mrs. Geary, the mother of the unfOr-
tanate girl, accompanied by her daugh-
ter, Evelyn, had a long conference with
the Cambridge police officials, this af-
ternOon, during which she denied that
she knew OF her daughter's> trouble and
expressed her belief in Nathan's inno-
cence.
The Boston officials had several long
conversations by telephone with the
two men who wene sent to Pittsburg,
Sunday, to bring Nathan back.
A dispatch from that city. this after
noon, to the effect that the Pittsburg
authorities had stated that there would
be an arrest here of a man and
woman, was shown Supt. Pierce, who
regretted that publicity had been given
the statement, as he believed that 1t
would defeat the ends of justice.
With the exception of a few minor
details the police regard the suit case
mystery as practically solved.

Fort Fairfield. Me-. Oct. 3l.-An au-
topsy by three physicians, today, upon
the body of Pearl Barnes, aged IA, who
died at Sprague's Mills Sunday night,
while suffering great agony, revealed
the fact that she had taken a teaspoon
full of epson salts containing strych-
nine. The liver. stomach and kidneys
together with a quantity of the salts
were taken to BowdOin Medical School,
today, for examination by Prof. Frank
lin c. Robinson.
Edward Jewett, a sOn-in-law. also
took a half teaspoonful of the salts and
shortly afterward was discovered near
~ paralyzed. He recovered.
County Attorney Herbert T. Powers.
Deputy Sheriff c. H. Dinsmore and
Coroner S. w. Boone. NJ. D.. are con-
Quoting an investigation and ii Is con-
sidered possible that an arrest may be
made.
The officers say the salts were OBJ
tanned several weeks ago and had been
used without i'll effects previous to
Sunday night.
A jury empanelled by Coroner Boone
viewed the body and adjourned until n
report has been received from Prof.
Robinson on the ssfalysis Of the con-
tents Of the girls internal organs. This
report is expected the latter Part of
the week. 1t seems that the salts were
mixed In water by the victim for n
younger brother, and as he refused to
take them she swallowed the solution.

Red Flag Above Aearst's and
Old Glory Over Mcclellan
Creates a 6ood-Sized Disturbance al
City HALL, Tuesday.

New York, Oct. 31..-An invasion of
the City hall was made, today, by a
great crowd of men and boys who were
angered at tie raising of a Tammany
campaign banner on which there was a
red flag above the name Hearst" and
an American flag above the name of
Mcclellan"
The crowd, shouting "let's tell Me-
Clellan what we think of him." over
ran the City hall steps for a quarter of
an hour until dispersed by the police.
When the immense banner was raised
hear the statue of Benjamin Franklin
in Park Row, bearing beneath the two
flags the inscription: Under which
flag" an excited crowd Immediately
gathered and self-cOnstituted leaders
made speeches from the bases of the
monument. The great triangle at this
point was quickly blocked by a crowd
which howled curses at the banner
overhead. Several persons attempted
TO pull the banner down by climbing
the tall poles which supported it, but
they were palled off the poles by men,
lners Of the mounted police and one ar
rest was made.
One of the speechmakers was then
seized by the crowd and carried on
their shoulders, the way was led toward
the City hall, directions being given to
continue the demonstration in the may
or's presence. On the City hall steps
few policemen attempted to stop the
rush, but were swept aside, and, seeing
a few members of the crowd entering
the corridors of the building, they sent
for assistance. Except for shouting its
opinions, the crowd showed no signs
of violence and made no further at
tempt to reach the mayor.
Until an extra force of police arrived
q mass meeting was conducted on the
steps and when the police ordered the
gathering to dispense the order was
obcyed in a peaceable spirit. The man
under arrest was later let go on a sus-
pended sentence.
Later. when a man who said that he
was. acting under orders removed the
obnoxious banner, police reserves were
again called out to prevent a crowd
from destroying it. 1t was announced
that n regular campaign banner would
be displayed in it's place.

Peter HisIel Of. SolnerviI|e
Witnessed the Purchase
Of Revolver by Mrs. Cooper in
Wards Store, Augusta.
Tells Of Hearing Conversation Between
nohhy and Mrs. Cooper.

South Windsor, Me-, Oct. 31.-(Spe-
ciaD.-Although it is exactly three
weeks, today, since Charles D. Northy,
Jr, met his death by shooting, at the
Edwin Cooper residence, the happen
ings on that eventful day are still a
subject for discussion among the peo-
pie here. Many theories are still ad-
vanced as to how Northy met his death
and the more recent developments in
the arrest and finding probable cause
against Mrs. Alice Cooper are still
discussed.
Every individual in this community
has some idea or theory in the case
which he thinks correct and is look
ing forward anxiously to what the
authorities may do in the mat
ter. The older residents of
the Four Corners, here. dislike
to discuss the matter other than
among themselves as they dislike
the notoriety their little village has at
tanned by this unfortunate episode, and,
as one stated to the Journal reporter.
THE irresponsible newspaper report
ers that were simply looking for a
story have made it a great deal worse"
All sorts of rumors. too, have filled
the air since the tragedy, most of
which have been found to be the un-
founded halucinations of some indi-
vidual, but there's one exception. 1t
was reported that Peter Hisler had
heard the conversation between Mrs.
Cooper and Northy in the church,
Sunday evening. Oct. 8, had driven in
from Augusta back of her in a team
the day following and had also wit
messed the purchasing of the revolver
in the hardware store the same day.
These facts in the main We're some

Hisler was seen by a Journal reporter
and told in his own way substantially
the following story:

MoguI of the Athletics Thinks
That the Bafons viii Finish
About Third in the Pennant
Race.
How the Team Looks Now
That All the Players Are
Beginning to Arrive in
Town.

Connie Mack seems to think that New
Orleans, Shreveport and Birmingham have
first division teams. and that they will
finish in about the order named.
There is not a wiser judge of baseball
players in America than this same Con-
ME Mack, who is the mogul Of the Athlet-
les, and when he sees a man play ball he
comes mighty close to sizing him up then
and there.
In recent interview he sized the team
up as follows:
.aThe full New Orleans team hasn't re-
ported" said he, when we arrived, but
the men they had looked to be above the
average. They trimmed us two games.
but then we had only been together one
day. Frank has few good slabmen. and
the main strength of his team. 1 judge,
will be in the fact that most of them are
old heads and know the game. Shreve-
port has another strong team. They have
two fast men on their intield in Hess at
third and Absteens while their pitchers

and they are getting into pretty fair

weeks they had a hard break with luck
IA the weather was very bad and for
days at a time the men were unable

ting into condition for the season IN
the big league.
On the other hand Birmingham has
three or four pitchers who are in fine
condition. and have worked we'll against
the major league teams which have
played here during the past week. They
make especially good showing against
the Colts who played here Thursday
and Friday
The games will be called at o'clock
each day. and It is expected that the
attendance will be very large. Cincin-
rati and Birmingham have a friendly
feeling for each other and its probable
that the Reds win train in Birmingham
