and
BOSTON. Mass., Oct. 31 Just bcfoits
leaving his office at police headquarters
tonight. Chief Inspector W. B. Watts
stated tlat the doctor who dismembered
the body of Susanna A. Geary, the suit
case victim, had been located. He did not
expect, however, that any arrest would
be made for a day or two. Intimating that
the police were awaiting something mere
definite from Morris Natnan. the lover ot
the girl, who is now In custody In Pltt.-
burg, Pa.
The theory of the police regarding the
wholo affair. In which the most serious
charge In connection with It can only be
manslaughter, Is that Miss Qrary went to
a woman and submitted to an Illegal
operation. The operation was not suc
cess, but before the girl died a male
physician wa. called in and he attempted
to save the girl'.' life by a second opera
tion for peritonitis. Miss Geary died, the
doctor then dismembered the body and
distributed portions ot It In two suit case
which were subsequently found.
The charge against the woman can only
be one of manslaughter,' while, according
to Superintendent Pierce of the local force.
It will be difficult to bring any charge
against Nathan utiles, he should be
charged with concealing a crime.
Woman and Man Concerned.
That both the woman and a man were
with Miss Geary during her last hours or
days Is believed to be shown by the
physician's certificate, which was sent to
the manager of "The Shepherd King
company, of which she and Nathan were
members, giving an excuse for her ab
sence. The certificate was written by a
woman, while the address on the envelope
was In a man's handwriting.
Mrs. Geary, the mother of the unforlun-.tte
girl, accompanied by her daughter Evelyn
had a long conference with the Cambridge
police officials this afternoon during which
she denied she knew of her dnughter'.
trouble and expressed her belief In
Nathan's innocence..
A dispatch from Pittsburg this afternoon
to the effeot that the Pittsburg authorities
hnd stated that there would be nn arrest
here of a man and a woman was rhown
Superintendent Pierce who regretted that
publicity had been given this statement as
he believed that It would defeat the ends
of Justice.
With the exception of a few minor details,
the police regard the suit case mystery as
practically solved.
Nathan Starts for Boston.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 31. With the reluctant
consent of his attorneys and against the
advice of the physician called In, Morris
Nathan, arrested here in connection with
the Winthrop suit case mystery, voluntarily
left the city toplght at 11 o'clock for
Boston In the custody of Silas P. Smith, of
the Massachusetts state constabulary. In
spector McGarr, of the Boston metropolitan
police, remains here to further interrogate
tomorrow members of the "Shepherd King"
theatrical company , of which Nathan was
a member. .. ; .;
Nathan was In such an extreme state
of nervousness today.' that officers Dunn and
Dennlson were defiled , to guard his cell
lest he do himself harm.
Manager Relnold-nd other members of
the company were examined separately to
day by the Boston officers, the examina
tion lasting all day. Inspector McGarr
will resume it tomorrow. Further Informa
tion as to the result of the examination
was withheld other than the fact that
with what they had learned the mystery
had been solved and arrest. In Boston
would be the final chapter of the ease.
Nathan was advised not to go to Bos
ton, but he insisted that he wanted to
return as quickly as possible and help to
avenge his sweetheart's murder.
He la in a pitiably nervous condition.
One of the reasons assigned for this was
that his cell In police headquarters was Just
across the alley from the Nixon theater,
where the "Shepherd King" Is bring per
formed, and the strain, of the music for
the dance In which Miss Geary formerly
participated were distinctly audible to the
prisoner at each performance.
Hay. Miss Geary ia Alive.
Attorney Henry 8lskand. accompanied
Nathan to Boston, and while waiting for
his train at Union, station, startled the
newspaper men by saying that he expected

He refused to say to what extent his
firm had Information that Miss Geary was
alive, but suli1N that he expected to find
her.
The departure of Nathan for Boston was
not accomplished without a struggle,
despite Nathan', desire to return home.
Inspector John R. McGarr of Boston, ac
companied by Detectives George Cole and
James Egan of the local force, searched
the room, of Nathan and secured from his
trunk and from members of the "Shepherd
King" company six letters which are
alleged to contain Incriminating evidence.
When Siskand learned of thl. find he In
sisted thit they be turned over to him,
aa they were the property of his client.
The Boston polloe officials refused and
Siskand retaliated by refusing to permit

It looked as though the prisoner would
remain for a while lnnaer in Pittsburg.
The mstter was Anally settled by giving
Siskand verbatim copies of the letters.
Some of the letters. It Is said, were writ
ten by Miss Q'sry to friends of hers In
the theatrical company, and three were
written by Mrs Geary to Nathan. The
letters from the mother are alleged to
have told Nathan, of the condition of her
daughter and begged him to take some
act It n In the matter. The reason they
were not married, it is said, was due to
a sudden dislike the girl conceived for
Nathan. Attorney Siskand declared that
the letters did not contain Incriminating
evidence, but that they would help clear
Nathan of the charge of having any part
In the alleged crime.

PAPERS FOR NEW HEARING
Plans Drawn by Attorneys for Murphy
and Xash Katatea In Inheri
tance Tax Fla-ht.
Messr.. Crofoot & Scott and George E.
Prltchett. attorneys for the E. W. Nash
and Frank Murphy estates, respectively,
are preparing papers to be presented to the
supreme court for a rehearing of the In
heritance tax cne. They have forty days
from date of the decision in which to pre
sent their brief and motion.
It will be remembered the supreme court
upheld the constitutionality of the tax, re
versing a decision of County Judge Vln
sonhaler to do so. The county Judge's rul
ing wss supported in the supreme court by
Mr. Prltchett for the Murphy estate, as
County Attorney Slabaugh had contended
for the constitutionality of the tax at the
local hearing. The county attorney suc
ceeded In getting the supreme court to take
his view of the tax, but Its opponents are
not at all Mtlsfled to let It rest at that.
The Board of County Commissioners Is
watching this litigation with anxious eye,
because under a law of the last legisla
ture all the money collected from the tax
on Inheritances will go Into a fund for the
building of permanent county roads. And
incidentally. It is pointed out, Omaha Is
vitally Interested, because permanent roads
constructed under modern methods would
mean a largely Increased traffic between
the country .districts and the .oily.

KURCLARS IN BOSTON STORE

ROBBERS ESCAPE WITHOUT ANY PLUNDER
One of Them l,ea fea' Old Pair of Shoe '
M filch He F.rldently Intended
to Pisrhanae for a
ew Pair.
The Boston store was entered last nlitht
by two burglars, who had suoceeded In
filling two suit cases with plunder before
being discovered by the watchman. They
ran away without the stolen property- At
11:45 as Watchman J. Kasper was making
his rounds he heard a noise as he was
coming up the stairs to the fourth floor.
He located the sound as well as he could
and shouted "Who's there." Then he
turned on his light and saw one man near
the window which looks Into the new
Hayden building Just west of the Brandels
store. A he turned on the light h heard
some one behind him say, "Shoot him,
there." This voice was at the foot of the
stairs he had Just climbed.
Thinking the place was too dangerous,
the watchman swung himself over the
banisters and dropped to the floor below.
He heard the second man run up the stairs
ns he was going to turn In the alarm. He
found the A. D. T. box, but Instead of
giving the police alarm he gave the Are
alarm. The department responded, but
the noise and confusion gave the burglars
time to get away. After turning In the
Are alarm the watchman called up the
police and all the nvnllable men responded.
The watchman fould do little until the
police arrived, for he had given his gun
to the second watchman who la guarding
the bank In the new nufuilng.
Robber Leaves Shoes.
When the iolice arrived a thorough
search was mude. On the fourth Aoor they
trtitrA tm a, lit fanna whlph hail han I
h .carfoldlnf of
,,...,.. ,..,, tk ..
a suit of clothes,' an extra pair of pants
and un overcout One case contained a
pair of new shoes. Near the window the
police found a second lr of new shoes
and also an old pair. It is thought that
one of the men was in the act of changing
his old shoes for the new ones when the
watchman discovered them. At all events,
he left both pair on the floor. This pair
of shoes, the suit rases and the open
window are the only clues the police have
to go on. The shoes were pretty well worn
i and the right one has several cuts over
the toes and the upper hud been worn
through In several places. The left one
was In pretty good shape.
It Is not thought the burglars got away
with anything of great value, but this will
not be positively known until the store
opens this morning. Another window, one
In the new part, was found half way open,
but this was thought to have no signifi
cance In the case, as a watchman had been
on duty there all the evening.
BOYS KEEP THEPOLICE BUSY
Not Many Serious Depredation. He
ported to the station on
Hallowe'en.
For the most part the pranks of the
boys who were out last night were of a
mild nature, so far as reported to Iho
police. There were several case, of a
nature bordering on the lawless which
came under lllelr" hotfc. From 8 o'clock
to 10' the 'telephone'-was 'kept pretty warm
with calls from anxious people front all
parts of the city. Most of these resulted
In nothing. At about 7:30 a brick wa.
thrown through one of the plate glass
windows cf the Calvary Baptist church
at Twenty-flfth and Hamilton streets. This
will mean a loss of nearly $100, If not more.
At about 8 o'clock John Chapman, a
grocer at 40 Grand avenue, shouted for
l help. He said, "These kids have stole my
i wagon alrciidy and I want an officer right
away. I will treat him fine If he'll only get
here quick!"
Mrs. Marthena B. Saunders, widow of
Governor Alvln Saunders, telephoned at
8:15, saying that there were "a million
boys" around her house, 2008 Sherman ave
nue, and that they had torn down her
fence on the aide facing Eighteenth street,
,n he evenl) .h, aga,n agk(d fop
help, as the boys had returned after being
dispersed the first time. They got more
of the fence on the second occasion. At
! about 8:30 some of the boy. raised the
1 do which holds the electric light reel at
' Twenty-first and Blnney street, and let
the arc lietit fall Into the street. Thev left
tne wlre, and tne extinguished lamp in the
..-eel and ran away. A areat crowd of
boys made a rendevoua of the old vinegar
t,, . e-i.....-. fji-. ....
, nue amJ wak,nea the neighborhood with
unearthly yells and coyote calls.
At o'clock nme boy threw a brlrk
through the windows of a Dodge street
car, causing much alarm to the passengers,
but luckllv hurting no one.
At 9:10 the boys pulled the Are alarm box
at Twenty-sixth and Poppleton avenue and
g:ive the firemen a fruitless run.
The boys were very wary, however, and
kept well out of sight of the police. Not
an arrest was made, though the whole
police department was out during the esry
evening.
