in Providence.
"She says if we got in any trouble
she would spend her last dollar to get
US out Of il and be sure TO tell George
, HealiS) to come over so as she could
have a good talk with him. After nine
DAYS she would have everything set

other two children, belonging TO his
first wife. would come in for their
share and she would pay me $4,000

Negro Overplayed Part.
II George Heals. chal eur of the
murdered doctors $4,000 touring car,
had not overplayed his part Tuesday
4 night, both he and his accOmphces
might have evaded the law for a while
at least Chief Inspector O'Neill ad-
mitted tonight that his suspicious
were aroused when he noticed Heals
staggering around and fegning eX-
IRENE hysterical grief after he had
helped carry Or. Mohr into the hos

robbery was the motive of the men
who attacked the doctor was never
taken seriously by the police.
After a gruelling third degree ses-

confession at a. m. which implicated
Brown.
81 then called up Mrs. Mohr," said
! Chief O'Neil. land told her that we
had confession from Heals and that
we were searching for Brown. She
said she was sorry TO hear that Brown
was implicated, because he was nice
boy When ] asked her il she knew
where we could find Brown she replied
that he formerly lived on llsmmonds
Street. IN RoXbury We found that
Browns wife does live at 80 Hammonds
street in Roxbury, so Mrs. Mohr was

Brown when the latter had been hauled
OUT and arrested Back to Early Street
they went and found Spellmsn sleeping
soundly.
He corroborated Browns story that
they rode out to the scene OF the muir
