WHO TRIED TO END LIFE
Physician Creates Scene in Cell After
Release From Hospital

Or. John Kirby, who was found In his
room at 735 Green street yesterday after
having attempted TO end his life with
gas, has been taken from the Roosevelt
Hospital, where he was treated, TO the
Philadelphia Hospital, where he Is under
observation in the department for the
insane. He spent several hours last night
in a cell at the 10th and Buttonwood
streets station after the Roosevelt Hos.
pital doctors had said they had done all
they could for him.
At the station he was questioned by
Doctor Luburg, district surgeon He de-
MED that he was a chiropodist, as had
been said. I'm n real doctor, he
shouted, "and graduated from the uni
verslty OF Cincinnati" with that ne

DIR. MOHR'S COMPANION
TELLSOF HIS MURDER
Miss Berger Takes Stand
Against Wife-Defense Scores
Points Against Conspiracy
PROVIDENCE. r.. l.. Jan. 1.


Miss Emily Burger. employe of Or.
c. f. Mohr, who was with him when the
doctor was shot to DEATH was called to
the stand by the State today In the trial
OF Mrs Elizabeth Mohr for the murder of
her husband. Miss Burgers appearance
as a witness was a surprise She imme-
diately launched into a recital Of the
shooting.
Miss Burger said she was with Doctor
Mohr in his automobile passing along the
Washington road at about s $50 at night,
when the shooting occurred.
"As the shot rang out the chauffeur ex-
claimed oh my Godr" said Miss Burger.
'I thought 1t was a tire blowing out.
II felt behind my ear: l wasn't sure
about feeling a pain there. and l felt
again. Then l found I had been shot.
"T tugged at Doctor Mohr's sleeve and
he fell over limp
I'VE had stopped only about two min
utes for repairs when the shooting oo-
Cured. / thought they were explosions
and was afraid the car was on fire."
The first witness OF the day was Henry
Sharp Chaffee, secretary of an iron cor
poration, who was the first to find Doc
tor Mohr and Miss Emily Berger on the
Washington road, harrington, after they
were shot.
The defense scored an important point
when Chaffee admitted that the WASH
ington road. on summer nights, is much
Travelled. lie said another machine came
UP not more than two minutes after he
did. Before Doctor Mohr and Miss Berger
were started for the hospital four ma
chimes had stopped and fifth had passed.
This was intended by the defense to re-
fute the States contention of an ambush.
The first witness TO testify against the
woman defendant was Miss Cecilia Cross,
trained nurse, of Boston, who was in the
Chaffee automobile. She added little to
Chaffee's story except that she said Eealis
was not in the Mohr car, but was stand
ing beside It and that he halted them by
raising his arm.
The nurse said that Miss Berger wanted
to be taken home, but she at first declined
to tell her name and address. She told
the identity of Doctor Mohr readily
enough. The witness said the wounded
young woman was unable to give any
details of the shooting.
George Healis, the States negro wit
ness. may today tell his story OF the al
legged plot behind the assassination of DR..
Charles Mohr.
Through Heals the state expects to
prove that Mrs. Mohr offered the negroes
$4,000 for killing her husband.
Contrary to the opening statement Of
Assistant Attorney General Abbot Phil
lips that hohr's relatives lost faith in the
Doctors wife, Augustus u. Mohr and Mrs,
Ella Hogan, brother and sister of the
slain man. were regarded as probable wit
nesses for the defense. having arrived
from McEmmensville, Pa. and
being guests of Mrs. Mohr.

Missouri Man Writes Here, Telling of
Guilty Ones Death

A crime supposed to have iten committed
"a years ago may be solved through the
receipt of a letter by the Detective Bu-
reau from n man in Missouri who seeks
a reward alleged to have been offered for
the apprehension of the perpetrator.
The letter, which was addressed to
''The Sheriff OF Philadelphia" is from W.
F. Nelson, OF PurrnH. Mo-. who alleges
that ]. p Hugh on his death bed told the
writer that he had killed a man In Phlla-
delphia and n reward had been offered for
his arrest.
The letter was turned over to Detec-
tive William Callahan. chief OF the muir
der squad. who is searching the records
In an effort to find the alleged murder.
The name OF the murdered man Is not
mentioned In the letter. The letter is
dnted December %. 1915. and reads as
follows
..sro the Sheriff of Philadelphia:
Dear Sir-I Will write you n letter,

of the country. He was supposed to be

times made an excellent showing.
Narrow escapes from death seemed 70

When cabarets became the style, he was
for cabarets and when the business at

him, largely through lack OF attention. u
is said, he started In the cabaret line
