CLIMAX IN
SUIT CASE
SENSATION
Dr.. MCLeOd'S Case Goes
Into Jury's Hands.
BACK BAY PHYSICIAN
DENIES DISMEMBERING BODY
Charged With Being Accessory to
Performance Of Criminal Opera
ton on Susan Geary.

Boston, Dec. 1.-The jury which has
been hearing the evidence at the trial
of DR.. Percy de Mile Mcleod, the
Back Bay physician, who is charged
with being accessory to the perform
ance of an illegal operation upon Su-
san A. Geary, the dress suit case
victim, retired to consider the testi.
mony at 4;45 o'clock this afternoon.
Judge Stevens before whom the case
has been tried. instructed the jury to
seal the verdict, should one be reached
tonight, and present 1t tomorrow
morning.
The proceedings today furnished a
dramatic climax to an already sensa-
tional case. DR.. Mcleod in his own
defense testified that he did not dis
member the body of the chorus girl.
He denied that he had ever had any
connection with the Mrs. DR.. Bish-
op" offices, where the illegal operation
Is said to have been performed, and
swore that he had never been inside
the Winthrop street house where the
girl died, until summoned to perform
an operation to save Miss Geary's life.
According to Dr.. McLeods testimony,
lie was called to the Winthrop street
house by DR.. ]. II. Pettee, who a few
days ago testified that he was sum-
moned there by DR.. Mcleod. He tes-
titled that his only connection with the
case was the performing of an opera
tion known as laparotomy, the only
hope, he claimed. of saving the wom-
ans life.

TerritOry'S New Governor Believes Time
Has Come to Settle Question,

tom are purely local, Such discussions
serve onH TO confuse the minds Of
people who are truly seeking such
light on the subject as will enable
them definitely and correctly to make
up their minds. After eliminating
these questions there is still a chance
for an honest difference of opinion but
| believe, when considered from the
broad standpoint of our best future
welfare, a majority of the people in
this territory will declare in favor of
jointure, If congress gives them an OPP
portunity to do SO. Because of the
larger opportunity which joint state
hood would give us and the higher and
broader duties which it would force
upon us. the difficulties incident to the
change would soon be forgotten and
we should quickly adjust ourselves to
the opportunity to become a worthy
member in the family of great and in
fluentlal states We must not forget
that single statehood for either New
Mexico or Arizona is extremely inn
probable for long time to come.
How long they would have to wait II
joint statehood Is not secured, no
man can tell The reasons for this II
is not necessary to discuss. 1t Is
enough to know that they exist and
that nothing that we can do now will
change them. If single statehood
would be unquestionably better for
us in the long run, then we ought to
wait as long as necessary to secure IT,.
But it seems to me that joint statehood
is not only better in itself, judged from
the standpoint of the future, but that
1t is the only change from our present
status which is possible, or. at least,
probable under present conditions. II
joint statehood bill Is passed by the
next congress and if it Is signed by
the president, and If II Is fair and lib
eral in its terms, then ! think 1t ought
to be cheerfully accepted by the peo-
pie of the two territories Its discus
sion and the formation of a constitu-
tion under its terms ought to be kept
free from all considerations of merely
local and personal Importance. The
people should inform themselves fully
and should settle the question them
selves. in their own way, by their free
votes. honestly counted"

Herbert J. Hagerman, the newly APP

firmly in favor of the merger bill

state of feeling, prejudicial alike to
our political and material interests.
To have the question properly settled

what their permanent political future
is to be, and they would resolutely set
themselves to work to adjust them
selves to II. The new state would be
large enough and have a sufficient
population to command the respect of
people in other states. 1t would call

PROSPECT GOOD FOR A
WAR WITH BULGARIA
While Sultan Is Listening to Ha-
raugue Of Priests Warning
Of Powers Falls on
Deaf Ears,

Constantinople, Dec. 1.-Speaking to
nent diplomat said;
THE people of the United States
do not realize the seriousness of the
present situation. The tension be-
tween the sultan and the powers is
growing daily and the general feeling
OF uneasiness is increasing, though
there Is probably no reason for ankle
ty as far as the safety of foreigners is
concerned, especially in the capital
The powers could not have chosen
worse time than the present for their
ultimatum. They might as we'll send
an ultimatum to the Pope during
Holy Week, as expect the sultan To do
anything In the last week of the fes-
uval of Ramazan or during the festi-
val of Bairam.
THE sultan and his ministers are
this week engaged daily from o'clock
in the afternoon in listening to fanati-
cal discourses by the Mullahs (or
priests), who dwell on the past great
ness of the Caliphs in a manner which
undoubtedly impresses their audience
with the impossibility, certainly with
the undesirability OF yielding to the
powers.
These performances will soon be
over, however. when matters will
probably assume more sane and nor
NAL course; but there 10 no doubt In
my mind that the sultan will neeu. on
this occasion. much squeezing. He
may be content enough to see certain
islands in the possession of the pow
ers rather than see his hold on the
last of his European possessions weak
ened
This feeling naturally is shared to
certain extent by the higher army
authorities, who would be very much
disinclined to see Turkish territory
ceded. or anything equivalent to such
cession, without striking a blow.
Turkey Spelling for Fight.
Should 1t be reduced to a question
between Turkey and Bulgaria Rou-
mania or Greece, or between Turkey
and all three, Turkey would most as
suredly be found spelling for a fight.
She has between 100000 and 400, 900
men In European Turkey today and
she could easily and quickly concen-
trate 100000 there.
Although Bulgaria has a we'll drill
ed and well equipped army, Turkey
great numerical superiority would
count for much.
Turkey clearly is eager to fight on
this matter with the bordering coun-
tries and every day that passes with
out witnessing a settlement of the
present difficulties makes It increasing
ly harder for either the Sultan or the
powers to give in"
American interests in Macedonia
are somewhat inconslderable. With
the exception of a few scattered mis-
sionary establishments they hardly ex-
tended beyond Salonica and Dede-
Agach.
At the great reception November rs,

ram, the foreign diplomats were not
permitted to occupy the usual seats
but were assigned to others from

BULGARIA WAKES INDIGNANT
Ar PONERS, WARNING

Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 1.-The Bull
garian foreign minister today made a
verbal reply to the note presented by
Austria and Russia supported by 9TH
er powers, warning the governments
of the Balkan states to observe neu-
trality during the naval demonstration
against Turkey.
The minister expressed surprise that
the powers should resort to such an
admonition to Bulgaria, which he said
had Invariably taken a correct posi-
tion. He said that the existing condi-
tlons In European Turkey would con-
tinue so long as the Ottoman govern
ment connived with the Greeks In the
persistent persecution of the Bulgar-
ian population. If the prosecutions
provoked an outbreak or led to a mas
sacre, the minister said. the Bulgarian
government would repudlate all re-
sponslbillty for the correctness. be-
cause 1t would be impossible to resist
the pressure resulting from popular
excitement due to sympathy for the
Bulgarians In Turkey.
The minister did not conceal his
distrust that the financial control ol
Macedonia by the powers would re-
suit In the prevention of outrages
against the Bulgarians.
