Woman Placed Under Ar
rest To-day, and the Three
Negroes Are @ h ar g e d
with the Murder - Mrs.
Mohr Had Recently Start
ed Proceeding for Separa-
tion

Providence, r. T., Sept 2.--Mrs. Eliza
beth r. Mohr, wife of DIR. g. Franklin
Mohr, who was fatally shot while on al
automobile trip from here to Newport
last Tuesday night was arrested to
day after three negroses had signed
written confession that she had hired
them to kill the doctor. The negroes
are charged with murder. They are
George w. Heals, the chauffeur who
was driving DIR. Mohr's car at the time
of the shooting; Cecil V. Brown, former
ly employed as hostler by DIR. Mohr,
and Henry Spellman, half-brother OF
Brown. No specific charge has been pre-
fcrred against Mrs. Mohr. She vehem-
emily denied the accusation OF the ne
groes, which she characterized as abb
surd.
Heals had been detained by the police
since the shooting as his account con-
fiicted with that given by Miss g. Bur
ger, the doctors assistant, who was IN
the automobile and who was also wound
ed
Brown was taken into custody last
night after Heals had told the police
that he and the hostler had plotted to
rob DR.. Mohr on the night of the shoot
ing. After a searching examination
Brown broke down and admitted that
he was concerned in the shooting and
that Mrs. Mohr offered him $1,000 to
kill her husband. Heals and Spellman,
when questioned separately, corroborar-
ed Browns story. and Mrs. Mohr's ar
rest followed.
According TO Browns story Mrs,
Mohr proposed several weeks ago that
he kill Dr. Mohr, promising to pay him
$4,000 nine days after the killing had
been accomplished Brown asked Spell
man to help and all three had an inter-
view with Mrs. Mohr Spellman was TO
receive 81 1000 and Brown and Healis
$1,000 each.
The arrangements, according TO the
confession, designated a spot on the
Nyatt road. There Heals, who was
driving Dr. Mohr and Miss Burger tot
Newport. stalled the automobile. Brown |
and Spelman, who had come from be-
hind on motorcycles crept through the !
bushes and fired. Brown said he shot |
DR. Mohr and Spellman wounded Miss
Burger
After the shooting Brown and Spell
man went back here. Brown declared \
that Mrs Mohr told him to be sure 20
kin the doctor and 10 kill Miss Burger
or anybody in the tonneau. All three
negroes said that Mrs. Mohr was jealous
of DR. Mohr and also desired 10 get pos
session Of an estate which she believed
would be denied Der II she obtained
divorce.
Tho Mohrs were married twelve years
pgo but recently she instituted separa
tion proceedings and Dr. Mohr hroueh,
\ counter-suit.
Mrs Mohr was later held without hail
on the charge Of instigating the murder
of her husband. Tho three negroes also
were held without bail. Brown for muir
Der, Spcllmsn for attempting murder,
Ind Heals for an accessory before and
after the fact. Ii

THREE HIGHWAYMEN
TRIED TO HALT AUTO
But Driver Put on Full Speed and Sped
Past the Men, One of Whom
Struck at the Occupants.

White River Junction, Sept. 2-Three
highwaymen armed with reyolvers in a
lonely spot near the height of the Green
Mountain range between here and Rut-
land last night made an unsuccessful at
tempt at holding up an automobile par
Ity consisting of the secretary of the
state fair, Fred L. Davis, Mrs. Davis,
Leslie L. Perkins, we'll ll-known hide and
wool buyer of this place, and Mrs, Per-
kins. The fact that the Perkins car
was travelling at good rate of speed
doubtless prevented the party from be-
ing robbed.
The party travelling in Mr.. Perkins
big touring car, had been attending the
Middlebury fair and was returning to
White River Junction by way of Rut-
land and the car was approaching dark
spot in the highway about mile and
half west of the top Of the mountain
about O'Clock when three men were
seen in the glare of the machines head
lights.
Commanded Driver to Stop.
Two of the men jumped to places at
each side OF the road while the .hird
stepped to the middle OF the highway
All three fourished revolyers and as
car came rushing toward them COM
manded the driver to stop.
With presence of mind Mr.. Perkins
let out the speed of his machine and |
rs the car swept by the highwaymen one
Of them struck at the machine hitting 1
Mrs. Davis on the arm.
MIR. Perkins kept his machine going |
II q rapid rate until he met an autoist /
from Quechee, Mr.. ellison. who was go
ng west over the route Travelled by the
Perkins party. ellison was stopped and
Of what had happened He
changed his mind about taking
'hances and returned TO Queeche. Two
,ther autoists met by the Perkins party
we're induced TO give up the trip toward
Rutland.
So suddenly did the Perkins machine
'ome upon the men Il was impossible
or either Mr.. Perkins or Mr.. Davis 10
i've any description of the highway
nen.
The spot where the attempted hold.
ip was made is not near any house and
; in a locality which affords every op-
ortunity for highway robbery and for
obbcrs 20 make their escape.
