Boston Police Hot ON Trail of Mur-
derers of Chorus Girl.

Pittsburg Oct 3O-It is the firm conviction OF
every one who is in touch with the winthrop
dress suit mystery that while charge OF
murder has been lodged against Morris Nathan,
secretary to the manager of The Shepherd
King company, he is not the principal in the
affair. and Is held because it is believed he can
| throw more light on the crime than any one
| else.
That the police have complete story from
Natha.,- telling all he knows and suspects, is
not denied but, aside from few statements
that have leaked out concerning the exarnlna-
ton, the authorities refuse to disclose the III
formation obtained until after the arrival of the
Boston officers who are expected early to-iilor-
row morning The police say that the publica-
ton of Nathan's story might interfere with the
purposes of the Boston authorities.
1t is known that Nathan admitted to the police
| that he was intimate with Miss Geary, and in
his statement he implicated woman who, he
says conducted a maternity home in fremont
ST. Boston. The Boston police were Immediately
informed and started out in search OF the Wonl-
an When they have arrested the woman VINO
conducted the place where Miss Geary went lor
treatment, which may be tonight, the ponce
believe that the mystery will be cleared ana 'iie
neonle to blame for the murder of the girl
brought to trial.
Nathan stated to the police officials tnat ne
was not aware of the girls condition. He de-
cIares that they were to have been marrieu- ne
said he overheard conversation in Whlch girl
friend advised Miss Geary TO go to the fremont
st house for treatment. Nathan said he was
