Woman's Story Of Her Relations

band to Anger.
SHE BREAKS DOWN AND CRIES

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Jan. Is
The first serious break in the marital
relations of the late Or. c. Franklin
Mohr and his wife, Elizabeth F.
Mohr, who is charged with having
hired two negroes TO kill him, oc-
Cured at the time she told her hus-
band Of her friendship for a man
named Samuel A. McDougall, who is
now a minister in Plctou, Nova
Scotia. ..t
This statement was elected from
Mrs. Mohr after a severe cross-exam-
ination this afternoon by Attorney
General Rice. Step by step the
prosecuting attorney brought out the
details Of Mrs. Mohr's life. Occa-
sionally during the examination she
seemed confused as to dates and
facts given In her direct testimony,
and several times broke down and
sobbed.
II was In 1919. she said. that she first
told DR. Mohr about McDougan The
doctor, she admitted. was incensed and
went TO Nova Scotia to try TO have the
minister unfrocked. The attorney general
then reminded her that in her direct testl-
mony she said that her husband had gone
''to the provinces TO see a friend"
Not a Drinking Minister.
The doctor was iinder the influence OF
drugs" said Mrs. Mohr: He asked me

told him that the way he was acting ]

At the time she met McDougall. Mrs.
Mohr said, she was known as Elizabeth
Blair. She denied that she told the doctor
that she had left Providence to go to Bos-
ton because OF notoriety caused by her
friendship with McDougalE She could
not keep company with McDougall, she
said. because the differences in their re-
ligious beliefs made Il impossible for her
to become minister's wife.
II was about the time she told the doc
tor about McDougall. the attorney gem

husband had falling out and that he

doctor in Brooklyn, but that she relied on
the word of the doctor and took no other
precautions.
She denied that she had lived with the
doctor year and half before their
marriage When the doctor told her. she
