street establishment, the place with
which Crawford is connected, and that

Charged DR.. Mcleod Specifically.
Chief Watts informed the officials here
that the confession of Crawford IN New
York included the specific accusation
that Dr. Mcleod was the person who
dismembered the body Of the chorus girl
Immediately upon receipt Of this mes
sage an inspector called up the doctors
Office on the telephone and made an
appointment. The inspector did not dis
close that he was police official. The
physician kept the appointment and
was at once arrested and removed tc
police headquarters. Captain Dugar
questioned the arrested doctor, but the
latter declined to discuss the case il
any way.
From Captain Dugan it was learned
that Friday night two headquarters in
spectors had visited DR.. Mcleod at hi.
home. They drove him to the Office
of Pawnbroker Berkman, who sold tht
suit cases. The pawnbroker had statet
that DR.. Mcleod looked like the mar
who purchased the cases, although hi
would not be positive that the doctol
was in fact the man.
During the drive, according to Cap
tain Dugan, Or. Mcleod expressed th'
opinion that second operation, sucl
as was performed upon the victim o
the suit case mystery, would necessi
tate the assistance OF three or four mel
in addition to the operating physician
The second operation would have beel
performed for the purpose Of saving TIN
girls life.
Captain Dugan further stated that !
was shown that DIR. Mcleod had a.
extensive practice, particularly anon
the private hospital. He had the repu
tation, the captain added, of being
stcleyer surgeon"
