MYSTERY CLEARED UP
Young Girl Stenographer Of Sar
Francisco Died of Operation.

Trained Nurse, Who Has Acted Fol
Year as the Doctors Assistant
Made a Full Confession to Police
Declared that Paul H. Parker, Well
known Stanford Graduate and Prom
inent Athlete, Was Responsible Fol-
Miss Swans Condition.
The police of San Francisco. Cal.
have secured positive legal evidence
of the guilt of DR.. James Grant in
causing the death Of Miss Eva Swan
the young stenographer, whose mutt.
lated body last April was crowded in
to a trunk and buried under the base.
ment of a lonely cottage in Mission
district.
Marie Messerschmidt, the trained
nurse, who for year has acted as DR.,
Grants assistant, made full confes
sion to the police.
She told a straight story. She said:
"Eva Swan had made two visits to
Or. Grants office before she came fol-
the operation. On the tenth day after
the operation she died.
"Dr. Grant was in a state of great
alarm, but decided that the body must
be removed promptly and he swore
both me and Willis Sack, the office
boy, to secrecy, declaring we were all
IN one boat. Then he fetched trunk
from upstairs and began saving the
bones of the dead girls legs, so he
could crowd the corpse into the trunk,
HE went about this work as
though he was butchering an animal
nnd 1t made so great an impression
on me that / tainted. When | came
to, the doctor was chatting my hands, ]
told him ! could not help him as ]
could not stand the sight of blood Sc
he told me to go home and brace up,
u don't know when the body was re-
moved. All ! know is that when ]
came back two days later the trunk
was gone"
The nurse also declared that Paul
II. Parker. the wellknown Stanford
graduate and prominent athlete, was
responsible for Miss Swans eondi
tion and was present during the opera
ton which resulted fatally.
When the news was broken to DIR.
Grant in his cell that Miss Messer'
schmidt had confessed all about the
girls death and the placing of the
body in the trunk, he broke down and
had a regular hysterical attack. He
sobbed an moaned and declared the
woman had sent him to his death.
The only way In which DR., Grant
can stop the mouth of this nurse Is to
marry her as his predecessor, DR.
West, did In The famous case Of Addie
Gilmour, the girl who was done to
death under the same circumstances
and whose case at the time attracted
widespread interest,
