SOLVES SUIT CASE MYSTERY
Mother Identifies Victim as Her
Daughter, Chorus Girl-Her
Fiance Is Arrested.

Boston, Oct. 30.-The victim in the
suit case mystery was Miss Susanna
Agnes Geary,' chorus girl, 20 years
cid, whose parents live at No. 6S5 Main
street, Cambridge. The identity of the
young woman, who was operated upon
illegally and whose body, dismem-
tered and headless, was found in two
suit cases, one in Winthrop harbor on
September 81 and the other near tbs
Charlestown bridge on October q, was
positively established Sunday by Mrs
Catherine R. Geary, the dead girls
mother. The mother and Bertha and
Evelyna Geary, sisters. recognized
three rings found upon the fingers OF
the right hand of the victim as those
belonging to Susanna A. Geary. None
OF the women would look at the torso
nor at the arms nor at the disarticu.
lated legs, because they were satisfied
that the rings could have belonged to
no one else. Miss Geary was mem

which played in Boston during the

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 31.-Tracing
clews given by Morris Nathan, sweet
heart of Miss Susan Geary, victim of
the grewsome suit case murder of Bos-
ton, who broke down Monday and con-
fessed intimacy with the slain girl, To-
cal police announced that they were
ready to place their hand on the person
who first killed the beautiful Boston
chorus girl and afterward sliced up her
body and placed the pieces in two suit
cases. The most astounding part of the
whole astounding crime is, the police
say, the fact that the guilty person is
. woman and that the carving up of
the body and the disposing of the re
mains was all the work of this wo-
man. 1t is the firm cow tion OF
everyone who is in touch with the case
that, while charge of murder has
been lodged against Morris Nathan
secretary to the manager of the Shep'
herd King company, he is not the
principal in the affair, and is held be-
cause it is believed he can throw more
light on the crime than anyone else.

PEELED to abandon a public address be-
fore he got well started on it. 1t was
contemplated that the military and
civic parade should pass in review be-
fore the president at the city hall, but
the crowd which gathered at this point
was so tremendous that neither the
police nor the troops were able to
move it and the president. foreseeing
possible catastrophe in the event of

speak and left the platform. The crowd
damned st. Charles street from prop

from Poydras to Ninth streets and it
spread over Lafayette square almost
from St. Charles to Camp streets.
Probably $4,000 people were gathered
in and around the stand from which
the president was to have delivered
the address. When the president de-
cided to abandon his effort he shouted
to the throng to Ego home and be good
citizens" and then disappeared into
the mayors parlors we'll nigh ex-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
