ties his house nd some lots recently
willed to him by his mother. District
Attorney Beach rapidly figured PIP
the vale of the holdings from a tax
book. Then facing Mrs. Mohr, who
was watching him intently. he nodded
his head and annonced that the
sureties were now ample with $500 to
spare.
Everybody crowded about Mrs. Mohr,
with congratulations. but a way was
quickly cleared for her and she was
taken to the nearby Offices of her
counsel where she consented to pose
for photographers.
Too Tired to Talk.
To all requests for statements re-
fusals were given. Mr.. Gushing said
that his client was too tired to talk
and that he had been too busy trying
to get bail to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with her story.
Notwithstanding the sensational dis
closures of the three negroes that they
had agreed with Mrs. Mohr for $4,000
smallest details of the ambush had
been carefully gone over, little sur
prise was felt at her release. The cir
cumstances regarding her separation
| from her husband had become well
known through the court proceedings
in connection with her suit for sep
aration, which is still pending and
also in the suit for assault brought
| against the doctor by Mrs. Mohr's
maid. DIR. Mohr was found probably
guilty. of this charge in a lower court
but was acquitted when he carried
| the case higher.
Had Income of $4,000 a Year.
An examination OF his books today
was said to show that he had an in
come of $4,000 a year from his med
/ ical practice. His office was located
in a quiet neighborhood some distance
from the fashionable residential dis
| trict.
| To substantiate their claim that the
motive for the alleged implication of
Mrs. Mohr in the death plot was due
| to jealousy the police gave out let
ter written by her to a brother-in-la law
of Miss Burgers. the doctors secre-
| tary, In this letter the writer gave
warning that IL his sister "dares to
go to my Newport home she will never
come out alive. She will have a sad
ending If she keeps on against me-"
For some time Mrs. Mohr had not
been living with her husband. With
her two children she had taken up a
residence nearly opposite the DOCTOR
home. in the Elmwood district. Yes
terday she was appointed trustee OF
the doctors property, by her own re-
quest, but this trust she voluntarily
resigned today and the court appoint
ed her attorney, Mr.. Gushing, in heI
place. Mrs. Mohr took this step when
Charles NJ, Mohr, of New York a sor
of DR.. Mohr by a former marriage
petitioned for an annulment Of heI
appointment. When Mr.. Gushing open
ed the doctors strong box he said he
found no will, only a crudely prepared
memorandum which was apparently
the draft of a will, but that 1t was
not in legal form.
Mrs. Mohr Remained Calm.
throughout her trying ordeals to-
day, Mrs. Mohr remained calm A
S o'clock in the morning she was
aroused by police officers and confront
! ed by the confessions which had beer
secured separately from her three al
legged accomplices. She entered ar
-. emphatic denial as each confession wal

NAL when the three men who were
