ATTENDS HUSBANDS BURIAL

Providence, R. l., Sept. 4.-The
defense of Mrs Elizabeth Tiffany
Blair Mohr to the charge that she
plotted the death of her husband,
will be that both Dr.. Franklin Mohr
and herself were victims of con-
spiracy, according to beliefs here.
In an interview yesterday which
was terminated when she lost her
composure for the first time snce her
arrest, she declared her belief that
three Negroes who now accuse her,
had planned to waylay DR.. Mohr and
rob him. She holds that when they
broke down under the grilling OF
the police they hoped to mitigate
their punishment by representing
that they had been melted by her
upon promise Of a reward. The body
of DR.. Mohr yesterday was placed in
a receiving tomb at Swan Point Gem
etery. Mrs. Mohr and her two chill
dren were present.
Miss Emily G. Burger, doctors
secretary, jealousy of whom, it is al
legged, inspired the crime, has not
yet been told of the death of her en-
ployer. She is recovering from bull
ct wounds received while on the
utomobile ride when DR.. Mohr was
,acked.
After visiting her, her brother-in-
.aw, George Rookie, declared that
Miss Burgers feeling for Mohr were
UGH that news of Lis death would

Arthur Cushing, chief counsel for
Irs. Mohr, said 1T was doubtful
ether his client would make more

III the case comes up on Sept. t.
~ rs. Mohr yesterday met for the
time Charles ~. Mohr, son Of
+ Mohr by another marriage. She
cured him there was no question
It that he and his sister would
are in their fathers estate. In
.aking of the meeting Mr.. Mohr
pressed his belief in the innocence
his stepmother.
Lawyers here last night express
doubt whether the confessions of
he three Negroes would have any
landing in court, insofar as they
tend to implicate Mrs. Mohr. The
Rhode Island law, they explained,
does not allow the admission as evil
dence of confession by one person
tending to incriminate another.

Every Brownson player scored at
least one double decker, while NC
Donough, Walsh and Burke finished
the game with three two-pointers 20
their credit. The Philadelphians
started off with a rush, and things
looked bad for the locals when Ries
dropped in a field goal a minute after
play had started After McDonough
tied it with field goal and Burke
put his team ahead with counter
from the 15-foot mark, the game was
never in doubt.
