 ton of Morris Nathan, the young man in custody here charged with com plicity in the Winthrop dress suit case mystery, is serious. He has a high fever and is practically physical wreck. Inspector W. ]. McGarr of the Boston metropolitan police, and Silas F. Smith. an officer in the Massachu- setts state constabulary, arrived in this city shortly after ' o'clock. Ac- companied by Superintendent of De tectives McQuaide the officers were immediately taken to Nathan's cell. Up until II o'clock the Boston authorl- ties were still examining Nathan and nothing could be learned. It is known that Nathan is In bad physical condi- tion and Pittsburg officer, who saw Nathan this morning, said: "The young fellow has q high fever and looks pretty bad If the officers don't watch themselves he will die on their hands"
 Superintendent of Police Wallace said this morning that watch was put over Nathan last night.
 He is in an extremely nervous con- dition," said Superintendent Wallace, ''and might harm himself"
 Arrangements are being made to have all the members of the "Shep- herd King" theatrical company at the central station today. They will be questioned as to what they know of Nathan and Miss Geary while both were in the company.a isl slelp
 A telegram was received by Superin- tendent McQuaide from Mark Nathan. a brother of Morris, inswhich he asked if he was needed in Pittsburg. Super .lntendent McQuaide asked Morris if he wanted his brother to come here and the prisoner said:
 "Tell him no. I will be in Boston shortly"
 The Nathan family have sent Henry Siskind. a lawyer, here to look after the prisoners case.
 Boston, Oct 31.-The work of tho police on the suit case mystery having occupied the time far into the night there was period of quiet at head quarters early to-day. Chief Watts and Superintendent Pierce did not ap- pear until after 9 o'clock. Officers in touch with the case said that 1t stood where it did last night.
 Do you expect to make an arrest to-dayT was asked.
 "It is impossible to tell at this time" was the answer.
 The police. admit that they could readily make an arrest if either of the two physicians whom they want could be found in the city. The question of securing the men in another state, however, on the evidence In hand, 1t is understood. is delicate one, and is receiving careful attention from the heads of the police department.
 While Mrs Geary, mother of Susan Geary, the victim of the tragedy, in the two exhaustive examinations to which she was subjected by the police yesterday. gave many important facts. 1t is understood that the authorities are impatient to get Morris Nathan, the girls betrothed, back here from Pittshurg, where he is under police detention. by request of the Boston department Even if Nathan, whose admission to the Pittsburg police have 
 been of greatest value in bringing the case to it's present standing. adheres to his consent to return to Boston without extradition. it is uncertain when Inspector MeGarr and State Officer Smith. who left for Pittsburg yesterday, can get back here with him.
 Captain Dugan. assistant to Chief Inspector Watts. said to-day:
 'I have not the slightest idea when to expect Nathan"
 When asked for word on the status of the case. Captain Dugan said:
 'There are no new developments"
 Chief Shaw of the state police said that nothing new had come to his at- tention since yesterday. The state officers expect some word from Detec- tive Smith soon after he reaches Pitts burg. He was expected to get there at 6:30 a. m. to-day.
