Geary, the dress suit case victim, bave retired to consider their verdict, Judge Stevens instructed the jury at some length before they re tired. The proceedings furnished a dramat- Ic climax to an already sensational case. Dr. McLeod testified in his own defense and stated emphatically that he had pot dismembered the body of the chiorus girl.

Frequently he made half the circuit of the ring, literally running Johnson pounded him unmercifully whenever he could catch up, but was unable to score a knockout blow, Jack son fully sustaining his reputation for toughness. Jackson fouled repeatedly. Boston May Prohibit Foethall.
