cause the tract was so small they could
not employ a herder and too large to

NEGROES CONVICTED
OF THE MOHR MURDER
The Verdict Reached After
More Than Seven Hours
Deliberation-Mrs. Mohr
Collapses When the Good
News is Told Her.

Providence, R. l.. Feb. 5.-Mrs.
Elizabeth Mohr is tree She was
found not guilty late today on the
charge of having hired three negroes
to waylay and kill her husband, DIR.
Charles F. Mohr. wealthy Newport
physician, while in an automobile with
his office assistant, Emily Burger.
Mrs. Mohr collapsed, sobbing, N

For the two negroes who were
charged directly with the murder of
the doctor. the doors of the states
prison yawned tonight. They were
found guilty of having killed the doctor
and seriously wounding the other
woman" in the case which has stirred
Rhode Island for months. Both Henry
Spellnian and Cecil Victor Brown were
pronounced guilty on the murder
charge.
Sobs as Verdict Is Read.
1t was Cos o'clock when the Jury
announced Its verdict. The 10 men had
been celebrating for seven hours and
35 minutes, having retired at 80 this
morning. Having three different ver-
diets to announce, the strain following
the announcement of the clerk that a
decision had been reached was terrific.
The verdict in the case of the negroes
came first.
Mrs Mohr leaned across the counsel
table. Her hands were clenched Her
face was deeply lined. her eyes puffed
and red Not a sound could be heard
in the courtroom except the steady
droning of the clerks voice and the
answers of the foremen. With the

in a very short time, because there
was so very little. Paganini was not

making a historical complement,
making a historical balance between
the real musician Paganini and the
man himself. Arliss brings to his
task a deep devotion to his own art
true scholarship and an under
standing. You must keep Il in mind
that Arliss, in studying Paganini,
has had to use his imagination to
bridge many a gap between regis
tered fact and what should logically
and humanity be on the other side
of It. Arliss knows all these things.
The story of the play, however,

and Germany. The wonder which
he excited was caused not alone by
his extraordinary skill but by his
personal appearance, which had in
IL something weird and demonfacal.
His imitation of the fageolet and his
rendering of whole pieces on the G
string were particularly applauded.
Ridiculous and Romantic.
His career was one long series of
brilliant success. Ridiculous and
romantic stories were told of him;
how he was in league with Satan;
how, immured in prison for years,
he played all day long on an old
fiddle with one string. The result
of these and similar stories was that
he could scarcely walk the street

the great cities of Germany and
France he proceeded to Great

He crossed the Channel to return no
more and died In Nice.
Mr.. Arliss will portray the
Paganini of the London period. The
scenes occurring during the year 1894
are laid in London, Dover and
Calais.
A Love Story.
The theme Of the piece Is a love
story. An ingenious young English
girl yields to a blind and soulful
alteration of the musical genius. She
becomes infatuated with the great
artist and throws aside her fance,
a young English officer, to follow
what she believes to be the true die
amin to the continent. How Pag-
anini meets the situation, and finally
sets the young girl on the path Of
true happiness. forms the climax of
the story.
The fire of the genius. his oddities
of manner and thought, the eccen.
tricities Of his personal appearance
are blended. It is said, into a finely
wrought characterization by Mr.
Arliss.
Mr.. Arliss admits that, when he
read the play, he was fascinated by
its technical and literary construc-
ton and finish. He liked 1t better
than many of the manuscripts that
he had read since casting about for
vehicle to follow "Disraeli." So
he accepted 1t and then, while delv-
ing into the available literature on
the subject, to get any sidelines on
the character of Paganini, he found
that the author had built his play
on historical facts.

II is generally believed that the
dramatist must deal with fancy and
fiction instead of facts; that he must
be man of imagination rather than
a man given to the study OF history
and biography. While that would
seem to be borne out by the success
Of such plays as Peter Pan"
"Kismet," The Little Minister and
many other of the greater successes,
II is equally true that one of the
greatest dramatic successes of this
generation was "Disraeli," the play
in which George Arliss for three
years held theatregoers speIlbound.
not only by the charm Of the story,
but by his wonderful characterize
ton of a great historical figure. Mr..
Arltss found that the most interest
ing dramas in the world are the
dramas handed down by history and
in another play of vivid interest, this
time based upon the actual incidents
in the life of that remarkable musf-
clan, Paganini, the wizard of the
violin.
"Pasanini," in which Mr. Arliss
will be seen at the Academy of Music
next Wednesday evening, is from the
pen of Edward Knobiauch, the au-
thor of "Kisne !" Marie Odile, /"
The Faun." MY Lady's Dress"
and, in association with Arnold Ben
nett. "Milestones" He is an Ameri-
can. a Harvard graduate, but has
spent most OF his life in London,
while Mr.. ArlisS, an Englishman, has
spent the last Is years of his life in
America.
Story Of the Play.
"Pagenini' Is said to give Mr..
Arliss an unusual opportunity. The
character of this weird maestro, en-
circled in romance and mystery,
placed in a setting of the most pic
turesque years of the last century,
is fraught with the charm of a tenn
peramentalist and genius. The story
OF Mr.. Knoblauch's play deals with
young girl for Paganini, a man twice
her age. Nicolo Paganfni was born
in Genoa Oct. 81, 1882, and died In
1910. His father, discerning the
talent of his son, put him under the
tutorage of the best masters to learn
the violin. With this instrument he
was able to perform In public at the
age Of nine, and even then Rolla, the
greatest Tolinist of the day, de-
clared there was nothing he could
teach the singularly gifted child. So
diligent was, he in his studies that
he would practice a single passage of
music for 10 hours at a stretch, and
he wrote such difficult compositions
that he alone could play them. In his
12th year he went to Parma, where
he was taught counterpart by the
greatest living masters, Rolla and
Ghtretu. He remained in Italy until
1928, when he appeared in Austria
