NATHAN IS RELEASED.
Grand Jury Falls to lndict Man In-
 plicated in Geary Mystery.

Boston, November 13.-Morris Nathan who was arrested two weeks ago today in Pittsburg in connection with the death in this city of Susana Geary, the Cam bridge chorus girl. was given his free dom in the municipal court today.
 The reason for this action was that the grand jury, which has considered all the phases growing out of the Geary girls death and which indicted four per- sons. failed to find any indictment against him. Nathan was subpoenaed to appear at the trial of the persons who have been indicted as one of the important witnesses. The general charge of abor- ton against Dr. Percy D. Mcleod was quashed in the district court today since the grand jury also disposed of the case by reporting an indictment charging ac- cessory before and after the fact in the death of Miss Geary.

Again. this class of laborers has a splendid opportunity to establish repu- ta tion of honesty for us. They have ac- cess to the keys and valuables of the people for whom they work. They can easily conceal small valuable articles and remove them, or, they can by their faithfulness and honesty, strengthen our reputation as domestic servants and con- vince our employers and their associates that we can be honest and be servant of she highest type. l am sorry to say that our reputation in this particular is not so good as 1t should be. We do not accuse you of any wrong. as we know nothing about your reputation along these lines, but we do know that we have grand opportunity of helping to redeem the standing of domestics by acting faithfully ourselves and in con demning dishonesty at every point.

the claim of the Bangor soldiers that

There is no official record or report
whatever of such an occurrence as BAN
gor folks claim, as there would have
been had it occurred. Furtherlnore, as
the officer in charge, would have heard
of the incident The only irons ever
put on Davis were light leg irons, put
on by civilian einploye under the or

partment. They were put on while
some changes were being made in his
quarters. for the purpose Of fFpreventing
Davis from injuring himself Of any 81

That this was possible, IS proven by
