APPEAL REFUSED
IN LEGITIMACY
CASE BY LORDS
Last Hope of Claimants for
English Estates Goes With
Decision That Charles E,
SIing8by Is Not Lawful Son,
10Y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL Leased wrsH

London, Dee. 14.-The house of
lords refused the appeal In the Sings
by legitimacy case today without call
ing upon the respondents.
In giving Judgment the house of
lords held that it had been established
that the child in question was the son
of Lillian Anderson and that it also
had been proved that the child was
handed over to Mrs. Slingsby The
house OF lords expressed regret at the
pain caused by the decision to the
gallant officer who is now serving his
country--C Slingsby'
Last Hope of Claimant Goes.
In the house of lords lay the last
hope of the Slingsby claimants in the
contest which has been before the
courts Of England and the United
States for several years. An inheri-
lance was left in England to the first
male heir Of three brothers of the
name of Singsby. The estate, in
Yorkshire, is valued at about $500, eco.
/ The case grew out Of the attempt Of
one brother to establish himself as the
father of an heir and the denial by the
others.
As the alleged heir was born out
side the empire, it was necessary to
establish the fact of his legitimate
birth.
Petition for Decree.
Tn December, 1913, a petition was
presented in the probate court for a
decree that Charles Eugene Slingsby
was the lawful son of Charles r..
Slingsby and Dorothy Slingsby IT was
said the child had been born in San
Francisco in 1910 Thomas and Alan
Slingsby brothers of Commander
Charles Slingsby alleged no heir had
been born, that the infants mother
was Lillian Anderson and its father
Paul Colvin; that the child had been
procured for the petitioners and pass
ed off by them as their lawful off
spring, the birth record being altered.
A California court ruled that the
child was the legitimate heir and an
English court upheld that decision.
The verdict was taken to the court Of
appeals which declared the child was
Legitimate. From this court the case
was carried to the house of lords.

say against the doctor,'' he went on. 'The heart of this woman must have been turned to stone. Her veins must have been filled with bitterness, envy, malice, hatred and uncharitableness.
 Look at the four defendants and don't you think that Healis, who turned states evidence, is the only enc who has found his soul? He has told the truth and is free man.
 Dramatic Recital.
 The attorney generals soliloquy in which he carried on an imaginary conversation With Dr. Mohr from tn grave. was a dramatic recital. He declared he could hear the doctor say "he had only one enemy on earth the woman who made hell on earth for him and pursued him to his death.''
 MT. Rice asserted that the entire estate of pr. Mohr was behind the defense. MT. Lewis, counsel for Brown, objected to the statement that he was being paid by Mrs. Mohr, and MT. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Mohr's counsel, also asked for an exception to that part of the argument in which he thought the attorney general reflected on his status in the case.

ATTORNEY GENERAL: SUMS UP M0HR CASE
Makes Bitter Attack on Widow in
 Closing Argument to Jury

Providence, R. l., Feb 5.-With the completion of Attorney General Rice's closing argument to the jury Tor the prosecution late yesterday, the trial of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr and two negroes charged with her husbands murder reached a point Where only the charge of the court on the law of the case is required be- fore the fate Of the three defendants Is delivered into the hands of the jury.
 The prosecuting attorney held the 1ury and the overcrowded court room at high tension from beginning to end of an address that occupied the entire afternoon.
 Attacks Mrs. Mohr. Throughout the long sessions Mrs. Mohr sat beside her counsel as inn mobile as marble, with the exception of one time, when she wiped the tears from her eyes as the stern visaged prosecutor asserted that there was no evidence to show that "she ever looked upon the face of her dead husband"
 Could she do it " asked MT. Rice

l in melancholy tones. T don't know, l don't know"
 Continuing. the prosecutor said: l '"The defendants, Brown and Spell man, were out of a job and an offer of S2,OOO. to do a job of this kind was an immense fortune for Brown, and $1,OO0 to Spellman was a fortune for him. Brown was practically a slave of Mrs. Mohr. Did you ever stop to think what an influence a white woman has over a colored man? We of the white race can't realize how strong that influence ls Tempered and f1attered, m afraid that boy would be her slave forever. The colored race are faithful race but a white woman puts herself on the same level as a colored man, she honors him in his opinion. We find out that Mrs Mohr was suing her husband for divorce and that she knew Miss Burger was going down to Newport that night with him. Who had the motive? Then who did the actual shooting?
 Situation in 1915.
 Mrs Mohr admitted she had talked a settlement on a basis of an absolute divorce for the Newport home and $75,O00. The feeling was so bitter that each was trying to do all he or she could against the other. That was the situation in the summer nf 1915. Dr. Mohr separated from his wife a year and a half before, and Miss Berger was going with him con- stantly. I believe that had the doc tor been granted a divorce he would have married that lady,"
 Discussing the status of the divorce and equity suits pending, MT. Rice said that there was every reason why Mrs. Mohr would have benefited by he doctors death at just that time. |
