Sayville. N Y-)-The Overseas News
Agency made public today a dispatch
from Vienna giving the address of
Emperor Francis Joseph to the deIega-
ton of Hungarians and Croatians who

peror is quoted as follows:
One of the greatest joys of my life
has been that the leading Hungarian
statesmen have succeeded in bringing
about complete accord between the
crown and the nation, and also good
feeling between the Hungarian state
and the other parts of the empire thus
laying a firm foundation for the re-
movai of any Misunderstanding among
the states and their harmonious rela-
tions through centuries to come
Trials Prove Reconciliation.
We now see more clearly than ever
that the present great trials prove the
completeness of this work of recon
ciliation and adjustment. which has
permeated to the hearts of all nations
under my scepter. When our enemies,
driven on by lust Of conquest fell upon
us, Hungarians and Croatians re.
sponded loyalty to my call to defend
the nation, and devoted their entire
strength to the task. We are con
ident that the heroic troops of the en-
pire and of our loyal allies will sue
coed In bringing about honorable. per.

The emperor concluded his remarks

Meets Dead Husbands Son.
Arthur Gushing, chief counsel for Mrs.
Mohr, said 1t was doubtful whether his
client would make more than a bare
plea of mot guilty when the case
comes up on September Is.
Mrs. Mohr yesterday met for the first
time Charles NJ. Mohr, a son of DR..
Mohr by a former marriage. She as
sured him there was no question but
that he and his sister, who is the wife
of DR. Ernest Mari of Baltimore, would

the accused woman.

In an interview yesterday which was

police they hoped to mitigate their
punishment by representing that they

Negroes Who Implicated
Widow in Crime Repudiate
Their Alleged Stories.
DEFENSE CLAIMS A PLOT
AGAINST MAN AND WIFE
Murdered Doctors Wounded Secre-
tary Issues an Account Of
the Shooting.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Septem-
Der A denial that they had
confessed to the murder of DR.. c.
Franklin Mohr was made to the
Associated Press today by George
w. Heals, Henry Speelman and
C. Victor Brown, the negroes,
who, according to the police au-
thorities, had previously declared
that they killed the physician at
the instigation of Mrs. Mohr.
Claims Confessions Barred.
It has been the contention OF the de-
Tense that the confessions of the ne
groes which implicated Mrs. Mohr could
have no standing in court under Rhode
Island law. Prosecuting officials, on
the other hand, insisted that the only
way in which the negroes confessions
could be excluded as evidence would
be upon proof by the defense that they
were extorted under duress or by hold
ing out some promise OF reward or
hope of immunity to the person MAX
Ing the confession. 1t was declared by
Chief Inspector O'Neil of the local po-
lice that the confessions were made
voluntarily and without inducements
of any kind.
Written confessions. he said. were OBJ
tanned before the widows arrest and,
the prosecutors admit. could not be
used against her, but that oral confess
sions were made in her presence. and
even II the negroes do repudiate them
testimony of witnesses who heard them
confess would be admissible.
Search for Two Witnesses.
Darlington police officers were search
ing for two men, who, 1t was under
stood. had overheard a conversation
between two motor cyclists on the
night of the shooting. Two of the
negroes who have admitted their COM
plicity in the physicians death rode
to the scene of the crime on motor
cycles.
Arthur Cushing, attorney for Mrs.
Mohr, continued his quest for a will
of the doctor. previous searches having
failed to produce anything except a
document which, Mr. Cushing states,
could not be probated. 1t is understood
in this document DR.. Mohr sought to
deprive his wife of all interest in his
estate.
Charles NJ. Mofr of New York, one of
two children Of DR.. Mohr by former
marriage, said today he did not think
there would be any disagreement in
the Mohr family over the disposition
of his fathers estate in the absence of
will. He said that he and his step
mother had virtually agreed upon
division of the property. which he es-
timated to be worth 100000. He ex-
pected to receive $4,000, and his sis
ter, Mrs Ernest MARI of Baltimore, a
like amount. The rest of the estate
he said would probably go to Mrs.
Mohr and her two children.
