WOMAN TELLS Of
THREAT OF DEATH

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. A.
While Mrs. Elizabeth Blair Mohr to-
day continued to maintain her inno-
cence in instigating the death of her
husband, DR.. G. Franklin MOhr, the
police have learned that Mrs. MOhr
was threatened with death if she dis
obeyed her husband that he had beat
en- her and knocked down their seven
year-old daughter, Virginia, when he
thought she was spying on him.
Mrs Mohr made these statements,
regarded by the police as being very
near a plea of justification, TO Con-
stable Wallace of Darlington. He had
an interview with the woman while
she was in the Bristol county Jail and
apparently she spoke freely to him.
Charges Poison Attempt
In an interview that teemed with
astounding charges, the widow of the
slain physician told the story Of her
wrecked martial life. She charged
her husband with having tried to
poison her.
In her fight for life Mrs. Mohr will
spare neither her husbands memory
nor the reputation of his wealthy
patients. most of whom were women.
The revelations Of the trial threaten
TO open the dark closets of many
prominent Providence families.
When her husband was earning
great sums at his practice, much of
it among the wealthy summer resi-
dents Of Newport and she was cast
out of her home with two young chill
dren, she took little fiat in the house
back of the one in which she had
been mistress.

land is determined 10 fight this

determined not 10 ask any more nations

always represented in the German

That the loan was made in order that
ROumania might put her army into
fighting order is not denied. but Rou-
mania viii not enter the war unless she
is attacked
There are several reasons for this.
the principal one being that Bulgaria
would undoubtedly Immediately Join
hands with Turkey and attack her old
enemy, but other reasons are that
should Roumania enter the war. Ger
many would be certain TO find some
way Of wreckinE vengeance upon the
country. whose late king. though a
Hohenzollern, warned Belgium OF the
kalsers intention OF violating her
neutrality, with the result that king
Leopold until his last hour worked for
the passage of the Belgian military
law, which enabled Belgium TO put up
the defence which was responsible for
the initial failure Of Germanys well
laid plans. Suu another reason for
Roumania remaining neutral is the fact
that nearly every enterprise in the
country is being run by German
capitalists
