JUDGE RAYMOND
TOO I'LL TO Be
0N.BENCH TODAY.
Expected Charter Case De-
ciation is Again Defer
red.

Judge w. S. Raymond was unable
to appear in Circuit Court this fore
noon being confined to his bed at
home with grip, according to a mes.
sage sent to Clerk w. S. Black. AS a
result Attorney Henry S. Lively was
elected by the other attorneys OF tue
county in attendance at court this
morning TO act as temporary judge
during the illness of Judge Raymond.
The first business to come before
Judge Lively was the case OF tho 2g-
den Investment company against
George NJ. Lilley, which has been on
trial before a jury for nearly a week.
The Jury which has been instructed by
Judge Raymond Friday and which
had failed to arrive at a verdict after
considerable deliberation Saturday,
this forenoon asked to have the in
structions of the court re-read. This
request was complied with by Judge
Lively after which the jury retired
to the jury room TO continue its de.
liberations.
The illness OF Judge Raymond will
cause a further delay in geeting a
decision in the Fairmont Charter case
as litigation OF this character cannot
be decided by temporary judge. Ac.
according to the statements made at
court house this forenoon Judge Hay
nond probably will not be able to ap.
pear in court until Wednesday or
Thursday.
After directing ogden-Lilley jury
to continue their deliberations Judge
Lively disposed of a considerable
amount of routine business.

Trial Of Mrs. Mohr
Begins at Providence
HARD TO GET JuRYmEN TO
SIT IN THIS MURDER
CASE
fRv Assoclated Pressl

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Jan. 10.-Mrs.
Elizabeth S. Mohr accused Of having
instigated three negroes to murder her
husband, Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, a
physician well-known in this city and
Newport, was placed on trial before
Judge Charles S. sterns in the Super
ior Court today.
Mrs. Mohr is being tried jointly with
Cecil B. Brown anu Henry H. Spell
man, who are charged with the actual
commission Of the murder while the
Doctor and his secretary, Miss Emily
c. Burger, were motoring toward New
port on the night OF august 81, last.
Mrs Mohr was indicted as an ac.
cessory before the fact. The three de.
fendants pleaded not guilty when ar
raigned and the selection of a jury
was begun.
Owing to the reluctance Of many
veniremen to sit in a murder trial it
is expected the work of empanelling a
jury will be slow.
