son, formerly connected-wItAAtAe-Br-
Bishop office at lis fremont street. Is
now a matter OF great interest TO the
state md city police. Both departments
are exerting every effort TO secure an
interview with him regarding the death
OF Susie Geary.
The officers have been seeking Hender-
son Tor some time. but when they visited
Ills home on Westland avenue they learn
ca that he had left the city. someone az
the mouse volunteering the information
that he had been gone since the middle
OF August.
Although tho police have had Hender-
son In mind almost from the discovery
or the torso, their attention having been
directed TO him by Annie Brown, another
attache OF the DR.. Bishop office. who Is
now doing five years i'm Sherborn as an
accessory TO the death OF a Winthrop wo-
man last January, they had absolutely
nothing that they could fasten any con-
nection with the present crime upon him
untll about two weeks ago. when Pawn
brokers' Berkman and Rubin, who aold
the dress suit cases, partially identified
a photograph of Henderson as a likeness
OF the man who'purchased the suit cases.
The altman who drove two men carry
ing q dress suit case TO Chelsea on the
night OF Sept. 20 has declared, however
That the photograph Is of one of the
men.
The identification OF the cabman is en-
phatic. and the police place more reliance
upon IL than they do upon the halr-un-
certain recognition OF the two pa wnbrok-
ers.
THOUGHT NATHAN RICH.
After the visit OF Mrs. Geary and her
daughter Evelyn to the Boston police
Mrs. Geary was seen by a newspaper re-
porter. She said:
MY daughter and / were before the
Boston police all the afternoon. Every
thing In regard TO the case was discussed.
] had To tell them the history OF my child
from her birth. Next they made me tell
all I knew about Morris Nathan and his
relations with my daughter.
This subject brought to light several
new points of interest. 1t was learned
that the couple knew each other before
Susie Joined The Shepard King company
and that her position was secured through
the efforts OF Nathan. We supposed him
TO be a very wealthy mar.
w told the police that VIC do not
believe that Nathan Is guilty OF any
crime. but we are sure that all the trou-
BILE was caused by him. and that he
knows OF the whole affair and can by
his knowledge help the police solve the
rest OF the mystery.

"The kilograms which l sent to Mr..
Nathan. asking his help In the case, was
a strong point. ] wired him several
times, asking his help, and wanted him TO
come and tell me tho whole story, but he
was either too busy or did not care 20
help an anxious mother, so he did not
come TO my assistance.
THE police are OF the opinion that he
was afraid to face the facts OF tho case
n did not want 10 have his name con-
nected with the affair"
Mrs. bertha Conwell, halt-sister OF Mrs.
Geary, said:
yesterday afternoon my sister and her
daughter were put through an examina-
ton by the police authorities of Boston.
! am sure that they are not under tho
least suspicion at the present time, and |
know that the 10 not know anything
about the affair. The whole arrangement
before an operation was performed | be-
lieve was left In charge OF Mr.. Nathan.
"Stil | may be mistaken, for Ethel may,
upon her wi accord, have rome to some
place for the operation. but I doubt IT.
NATHAN's FAMGIY's VIEWS.
Mark Nathan. brother Of Morris, In a
recent Interview said
1--WE have nothing 60 say concerning the
confession which my brother. Morris
Nathan, IL alleged 10 have made this af-
ternoon In Pittsburg. We do not know
whether IL IL true or not, n until we do
we shall certainly not oner any critl-
cismE.
My people and I believe Norris Is In
nocent OF any criminal charge brought
against him. We believe that n Miss
Geary was I'm a delicate condition prior 90
her death. someone else. other than M
brother Was responsible FOR "a. and that
my brother IL simply being made "a Scapo-
goat 10 shield someone who is perhaps
rich and has more Influence.
W. are not prepared 80 admit th.t the
