prove successful, even to the extent pro

Under Constant Guard to Prevent
Doing Injury to Himself!

PittSburg, October 31.-With the re-
luctant consent of his attorneys, and
aaginst the advice of the physician
called in, Morris Nathan, arrested here
in connection with the Winthrop suit
case mystery, voluntarily left the city
tonight at II O'Clock for Boston, in the
custody of Silas 2. Smith, of the Mas

Inspector McGarr of the Boston Me
pOlitan police remains here to further
interrOgate tomorrow members Of the
"Shepherd King theatrical company,
Of which Nathan was a member.
Nathan was in such an extreme state
of nervousness today that Officers
Dunn and Dennison We're detailed to
guard his cell, lest he do himself harm.
Information as to the result Of the
examination was withheld other than
that which said the officers had learn
ed the mystery had been solved, and
arrests in Boston would be the final
chapter of the case.
One of the reasons assigned for the
prisoners nervousness was that his
cell in police headquarters "a just
across the alley from the Nixon the
atre, where the "Shepherd King" is be-
ing performed, and the strains of the
music for the dance in which Miss
Geary formerly participated, were dis
tinctly audible to the prisoner at each
performance.

Starts for Boston. Where Ii is Ex-
pected He Can Throw Additional

rests i'm Boston vii be the Final
Chapter i'm the Mystery.

Boston, Mass, October 31.-Just be-
fore leaving his office at police head
quarters tonight, Chief Inspector w.
i. Watts stated that the doctor who
dismembered the body Of Susanna A.
Geary, the suitcase victim, had been
located. He did not expect however
that any arrest would be made for a
day or two, intimating that the police
were awaiting something more definite
from Morris Nathan, the lover Ct ,he
girl.
The theory of the police regarding
the whole affair, in which the most Sc
rious charges can only be manslaugh-
ter, is that Miss Geary went to 4 wo-
man and submitted to an Illegal Ope-
ration. The operation was not ii sue
cess, but before the girl Gied ii male
physician was called in. and he at
tempted to save the girls life by a
second operation for peritonitis. Miss
Geary died, the doctor then dislEem-
bered the body and distributed portions
Of it i'll two suit cases, whichever sub
sequently found.
The charge against the woman can
only be II Of manslaughter, while ac-
cording to Superintendent Pierce Of
the local force, it will be difficult to
bring any charge against Nathan I'M
less he should be accused of conceaiing
q crime.
Mrs. Geary, the mother of the unfor-
tunate girl, accompanied by her daugh-
ter Evelyn, had a long conference with
the Cambridge police officials this fore
noon, during which she denied that
she knew of her daughters trouble and
expressed her belief in Nathan's in
rOcence.

doubt in my mind that this so-cailed
famous Winthrop suit case mystery
has been cleared. Morris Nathan, the
young man now in custody, admitted
this afternoon that he is responsible
for Miss Gary's condition and hat he
e~ndeavored to get her out of the troll
BILE. From the admissions made by
Nathan there will undoubtedly be
something doinG soon. While the de-
mands of courtesy prohibit me from

be arrested shortly and this suit case
mystery will be cleared without a
doubt"

Director Harry Moore. of the public
safety department this afternoon.
That a man located at Boston is i'm

of what I have seen aboard this ship;
the discipline. the ready subordination
Of each man. whether officers or en-
listed men to duty. the care taken of

"What must impress especially any
observer is how essential it is that
every Individual on a ship like these
should do his whole duty. and in any
crisis more than his duty. Any man
in the whole ships who does
his full duty can claim as his own the
honor and repute of the ship and has
a right to feel a personal pride in all
