BODY CUT UP TO
HIDE THE CRIME
Susan Geary the Victim of Criminal
Operation.
NATHAN TELLS HIS STORY
SEARCH IN BOSTON FOR FEMALE
VAMPIRE.
NATHAN TELLS HIS ST0R'

OITTSBURG, Pa. Oct, 30.-The heads
of the local police and detective
bureaus are firmly OF the opinion
that they now have in their possession
enough Information TO thoroughly clear
up the celebrated Boston suit case mys-
terry.
AS the result of admissions made by
the prisoner, Morris Nathan, when
questioned this afternoon, they are al
most positive that the death of Susan
Geary resulted from a criminal opera
ton performed by woman in Boston,
and that the body of the girl was after
ward mutilated TO hide the fact. The
name of the woman has been divulged
by Nathan, and upon receiving this in
formation the officials dispatched word
to the Boston authorities to apprehend
her.
While Nathan does not appear to
know enough to lead TO positive con-
clusions, he gives sufficient information
70 settle the mystery in the minds Of
the Pittsburg detectives. Nathan ad-
mitted under pressure that while the
last time he saw the girl was on Sept.
8 he knew that the girl had Contem-
plated and discussed with him the ad-
Visibility Of submitting to a criminal
operation, and that during more than
one of these conversations the name of
the woman to whom she proposed to
go had been mentioned and the conclu-
sion is that she finally carried out this
plan with result fatal to herself.

that there were forgeries in connection
with the warehouse receipts upon which
Mr. Block loaned" said Mr.. Baker. THE
only difficulty was that more money was
advanced than the collateral was worth.

yesterday that wealthy Mrs. Margaret

that he had no jurisdiction, as she died
in another city. He would, however,
he said, prevent the funeral from TAX

requested TO do so by the Philadelphia
coroner or police.
The body of Mrs. Todd will be buried
