NEGROES DENY
That They Had Confessed to
the Murder of DR.. Frank
lin Mohr.
tsr AsseeiA1se sassn

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 4. "A
denial that they had confessed to the
murder fD.. C. Franklin Mohr was
made to the Associated Press today
by George w. Heals. Henry Spellman
and G. Victor Brown, the negroes,
who, according to the police authori-
ties, had previously declared that they
killed the physician at the instigation
of Mrs. Mohr. The denial was made in
the county jail at Bristol.
Tell the people," Heals said, that
we are absolutely innocent and ina.
We believe Mrs. Mohr knew nothing
of this cr.ira. We haze never signed
a confession and anything so said to
the Providence police was in joking
way or in q spirit Of anger. DR.. Mohr,
to my knowledge. had been threatened
by several prominent Rhode Island
people. found letter in his car
from man living on Elmwood ave-
nue. saying that II the doctor did not
cease his attentions to his wife he
would fill him full OF bullets"
Heals said that the doctors auto
mobile was followed. on the night of
the shooting and 1t was Healis's
theory that DR.. Mohr was shot by some
man who jumped out of car, fired
at both the physician and Miss Berger
and then wrecked the car. At this
point Brown broke in and said: az
see that the Providence police say
that Heals saw Mrs. Mohr in Provi-
dence Monday evening. That's a joke
for Heals was in Newport all day
Monday and Monday night.

q LONDON, Sept. An the abb
'sence Of marked changes on any OF
battle fronts the English public has
again turned Its attention to the dip
Tomato situation in the near East and
to rumors OF tentative efforts in the
direction Of peace negotiations.
1t Is announced officially at Nish
that the final draft Of Serbia's answer
to the note Of the quadruple entente
is ready and will be presented short
ly. 1t is presumed here that the re-
ply on the whole will be favorable in
regard to concessions to Bulgaria al
though little hope is held that Ser
will grant her late enemy all the ter
iritory demanded in Macedonia.
4. Advices from Sofia indicate that
unless the whole of Macedonia Ia
conceded there is little chance Of re-
establishment Of the Balkan league.
1T Is pointed out In official circles at
4 the Bulgarian capital that compliance
with the program of the entente al
!, lies means actual participation in the
war, while agreement to the request
of the central powers Implies merely
friendly neutrality expressed in per-
hitting the shipment through Bull
garia OF arms and other war supplies
for Turkey.
Although 1t has been established
that London has no part in the ini-
tiation- OF sinfornal peace discussions,
1t Is plain oftlcial circles are keenly in
terested in news Of activity in this d.
rection. There are straws IN the
wind which indicate that what are
designated as proper peace over
lures" on the part of Germany would
meet with consideration. However,
THE general public not so we'll in
formed as is the government probably
would regard such overtures as pre-
mature.
While diplomats are seeking to en-
large tho sphere of the war and while
talk Of peace Is in the air, the great
struggle continues along all fronts
without interruption.
The Russians are fighting desper-
!ately along the Dvina protecting the
shortest road to Petrograd They are
developing counter offensive before
wilma, which evidently Is designed to
threaten Won Hindenburg's right flank.
French artillery is pounding the
German trenches along the western
front.
Reports from Washington that eff
forts in the direction OF peace nego-
itiations are receiving impetus from
German sources are commented on
generally by London newspapers
which take the view If such a move
.has been launched it Is with the OBJ
sject OF procuring diplomatic and A.
nancial support from neutrals. There
lis no doubt" says the Palf-Mall Ca
szette, that mockery Of peace is to
form the theme for widespread press
campaign in neutral countries.
