tain of Rinss Found ON
BODY.


BOSTON. Nov. 1.-Pending the arrival Of
Morris Nathan. who left Pittsburg last
night for Boston, it was believed here to-
day that no arrest Of physicians would
be made in the suit case mystery until after
the police officials had an opportunity Of
questioning the young man. The state
ment Of Attorney siskind, representing
Nathan, that he hoped 10 show that Miss
Geary is, in fact, alive and that he eX-
pected to demonstrate this by producing
the young woman. created something Of a
sensation in police circles The statement
of the attorney was read with interest in
Cambridge. where the Gearys live, because
of the fact that some of the members OF
the Geary family are not certain that the
rings found upon the hands of the victim
were those of Susan. 10 the police the
statement suggested Nathan's possible de-
fense and emphasized the necessity of the
commonwealth proving positively that the
dismembered parts Of the body in the suit
case the head being missing, were portions
of the body of the Geary girl.
Nathan and a number of officers arrived
in Boston at 4:2O A crowd blocked the
! platform at the South Union station await
ing the arrival of the train. Nathan, pale
and weak and apparently quite i'll, came
down the car steps with the officers The
| trip to police headquarters was made with
the horses driven at a gallop, and Nathan
| was taken at once into the private office
of Superintendent Pierce. He had hardly
| reached the room when a messenger came
| out. lie stated that Nathan had col
lapsed and needed medical treatment.
Or. Dunn. the police physician, who was
summoned to attend Nathan, informed the
police officials that it would be imprudent
TO question the prisoner tonight and. act
ing upon this advice, the examination OF
Nathan was postponed until tomorrow
Nathan has been charged with abortion
