DIRECTED BY NATHAN
Superintendent OF Police Alexander Wal
lace. AT Pittsburg, gave this statement
out after another talk with Nathan:
IF young Nathan did not direct Ethel
Durrell 90 the person who performed a
criminal operation upon her, ! am great
ly mistaken. i not only believe that he
did direct her. but that he made arrange
ments for having her sent" This state
ment was made this afternoon by Super
intendent OF Police Alexander Wallace.
after another talk with Nathan.
For several hours today the police
superintendent was in the cell OF the boy
getting what information he could from
him.
II do not like TO dispute the word OF
Rita Marie and Eleanor Barren" he
continued, who claim that they never
discussed the matter OF a criminal opera
ton with the Durrell girl; but either they
are not telling the truth or Nathan has
lied TO me.
Nathan made the positive statement
10 me that on Saturday night. Sept. 2.
while he, Miss DurrSl. Miss Marie and
Miss Barren were on their way TO the
subway station in Boston, the matter was
discussed.
HE DISCUSSED BISHOP PLACE.
During the course OF their CONVERSE
ton. Nathan told me, one OF the girls,
he did not remember which it was, the
Marie or Barren girl. told OF a friend
OF hers who had "A sister who was In a
delicate condition. A physician advised
her 10 go TO Mrs. Bishops place, where
she could be operated on.
she went there and the operation was
successfully performed. In the subway
station. all three of the girls discussed
this at length, and Miss Durrell was adj
vised 10 consult the Bishop woman.
Nathan did not admit that he had adj
vised her to go 10 the Bishop woman.
but he did admit that he had discussed
the advissbility OF her going there.
MY candid opinion is that the girl at
first attempted to perform the operation
herself: that she realized. too late, the
seriousness OF her condition. and then
hurried TO either tho Bishop office or some
similar place. where another operation
was performed: that the girl died while
this operation was gutrg on. and the per-
sons who performed It cut up the body
in order to hide the evidence OF their
crime.
FOUND IMPORTANT LETTERS.
81 hin that the mother and sister Of
the girl suspected her condition and knew
that she had consulted a person TO per-
form the operation"
This line OF reasoning on the part OF
the superintendent was partly borne out
by the fact that this afternoon Superin-
tendent McQuaide and superintendent
Wallace held n conference. the result OF
which was that Detectives George Cole
and James Egan were hurriedly sent to
the place where Nathan has been rooming
on Ross street, this city.
All of his private papers were taken
possession of and carried TO the two SUI
p~erintendents. While the latter would not
give out the contents Of these papers, IT
is known that among them were n num-
Der Of letters from tho mother OF the girl
To- Nathan.
These letters. IL Is admitted by the po-
lice. contained sufficient evidence 10 prove
that both the mother and the boy knew
of the girls condition and also knew that
-sha-Aaa-e either consulted a person about
an operation or was about TO do so.
MRS. GEARY MAKES DENIAL.
Mrs. Geary. mother OF the suit case
victim, emphatically denied last night
that she was aware OF her daughters
condition, or that she had advised Susie
TO seek medical aid. She denied also n
either her daughter or Nathan had ever
