confessions of the accused negroes ad- m1tted as evidence against her.
 Healis' Evidence.
 The court had previously ruled out this evidence as affecting Mrs Mohr, but Attorney General Rice moved to- day that in view of the testimony of George w. Healis, Dr. Mohr's negro chauffeur, which he said showed "a conspiracy" all the evidence which had been admitted only as concerning Cecil Victor Brown and Henry D. Spellman, the negro defendants, be now considered by the jury against the widow as well.
 Judge Stearns replied that he was not inclined to change his previous ruling. The attorney general said that he would renew his motion on Mon day when the case is to be resumed and would submit authoritative de- cisions in support of it. The state expects to rest it's case Monday.
 Newspaper Writer on Stand.
 At the hour of adjournment Miss Gertrude Stevenson of Boston, a news paper writer, was on the stand. She testified that she interviewed the three negroes-Brown, Spellman and Healis in jail and that Brown wrote some thing on a slip of paper which he said . was to be his alibi' Miss Steven- son said he asked her to give the pa- per to his sister and also requested that the witness get Mrs. Mohr to send him an attorney.
 Brown told me to tell Mrs Mohr not to say anything about the motor cycle" the witness said, adding that he would say his wife saved up money enough to buy it." Healis told me also to tell Mrs. Mohr that If she'll stick to us we'll stick to her."

in his escape from a deputy United States marshal last Saturday by Group B." a powerful organization of European political refugees. The gov ernment agents also were satisfied that Lincoln has never left New York city.
 Wanted Promise of immunity.
 Following two boastful communica- tions to a morning newspaper defying the government to recapture him, Lin coin sent a letter today to Superin- tendent William Ofaey, head of the To- cal bureau of investigation of the de- partment of Justice. In this letter he offered to surrender if he was promised immunity. This was taken to mean that he wanted a pledge from the United States government that he would not be turned over to the British authorities. Before his escape an order was issued for his extradition as a forger, but Lincoln has always insisted that the English government intended to shoot him as a spy.
 Harbored by Group B."
 Group B, the organization which the federal agents believe arranged Lin coln's escape and is now harboring this country in 1872. Group B came prominently into public notice some years ago when it went to the aid of Jan Pouren, a Russian political exile, whose extradition was demanded by the Russian government on the ground that he was a murderer. Pouren had attempted to start a revolution in the Baltic provinces of Russia. Colonel Roosevelt was then in the White House, and Group B succeeded in se- curing an order from him for Pouren's release.
 Members of Group B Visited Him.
 Secret service men said today that had learned that several members of Group B had visited Lincoln when he was confined in Raymond street jail in Brooklyn. It was also recalled that the fugitive was in the company of some of the group at the time of his arrest.
 Stories that Lincoln had been asso- ciated with Paul Koenig, chief detec- tive of the Hamburg-American line, and others who have been indicted for their alleged parts in German con spiracies in. this country. were denied today by secret service officials.

JURY DISAGREED IN CASE OF EDWARD WEINAcHT
On Trial in London For Violation of
 Trading With Enemy Act.

London, Jan. 21, 5.52 D. m - The trial of Edward Weinacht, said to be an American citizen whose residence Is Elizabeth, N. J, resulted in a dis agreement by the jury. Weinacht was charged with violation of the trad ing with the enemy act
 After nearly an hours deliberation the foreman of the jury reported to the court that there was no chance for an agreement. The defendant was held under bail for a new trial
 Weinacht was former foreign man. ager for the Adams Express company. He took the stand and testified that he had taken foreign money, including German marks. belonging to the com- pany, from London to Rotterdam solely because the foreign currency could be more advantageously. utilized there. The government yesterday had sought to show by evidence that Weinacht had assisted in transferring more than 5000 marks from the Lon don office to the German agent of the company at Hamburg, but the defence contended that the transaction was consummated at Rotterdam.
 The responsibility for any subse- quent use or the transfer of the mon ey to Germany; Weinacht continued in his testimony today, rested with the Rotterdam office and was not in any sense a part of his plan in remov- ing the money from London.

HARTFORD MAN TELLS
 OF CONDITIONS IN BELGIUM
Praises the Splendid Work of the
 Rockefeller Foundation.

Rotterdam, Jan 21, 5.43 p. Rob inson Smith of Hartford, Conn, has arrived here after an extensive stay in Belgium MT. Smith reports that everything is quiet in the occupied zone and that the work of feeding the ! civilian population is proceeding smoothly, except for shortage of food in several provinces, which is due 70 lack of shipping facilities and internal transports.
 .Frederick c. Walcott, European rep resentative of the Rockefeller founda- tton,' said MT. Smith, "has completed on behalf of the foundation an investi- gation of the work of the Belgian relief commission directed by Herbert c. Hoover. The foundation is interested in the work as one of the chief con- tributors to the commission, having given it million dollars worth of food at it's inception and S200,0O0 late- Iy for the supply of clothing for desti- ute Belgians.
 t'Mr Walcott expressed himself as not only satisfied but enthusiastic over the splendid work of the organization and the results 1t has achieved. He said it was correct to say there is no serious want in Belgium, yet such a statement must be coupled with the reservation that this fact was due to the work of the commission. and that sven a momentary suspension or It's activities would lead to terrible dis tress and misery within thirty days.
 MT. Walcott reports that the com mission deserves continued support in It's struggle against a multitude of difficulties in maintaining it's service of feeding 9,000.000 people. He said that, unlike other relief organizations, which do not traverse belligerent lines, the commission has earned the un- qualified confidence of all the fighting governments, which not only enables 1t to be of help to Belgium and north ern France, but makes 1t the logical organization for feeding the other dis Eressed populations of Europe.
 Accompanied by Caspar Whitney, representing the commission in Bel yium, Mr. Walcott left here this week Tor Poland, where he and Mir Whitney will make investigations of the Polish aeeds. When these are completed the tarty will go to Serbia with the same purpose. These Investigations are un- Ter thes approval of all the govern nents concerned
 MT. Smith concluded by saying that unless there Is an immediate improve nent in the shipping situation there will be an extremely serious shortage If food in Belgium.
