MRS. M0HR FREED; TWO NEGROES GUILTY
Jury Out Nearly Seven Hours in
 Providence Murder Case

Providence, R. T., Feb. Mrs Elizabeth F. Mohr was acquitted Saturday night by a jury in the su- perior court of charge of having instigated the murder of her hus- band, pr. c. Franklin Mohr. C. Vic tor Brown and Henry R. Spellman, who were accused of the actual kill ing were found guilty. The jury re- ported at 6:O7 o'clock after havinc been out since 1O:5O o'clock Saturday morning.
 Mrs. Mohr swooned while the fore man was announcing the verdicts. Her head dropped forward and she was slipping from her chair when her lawyers grasped and supported her, while a court officer rushed for a glass of water.
 Another Charge Pending.
 "Is there any other charge against these defendants?" inquired Justice Stearns, when the verdicts had been given.
 There is, your honor," replied Attorney General Rice, but Mrs. Mohr is on bail on the other charge"
 ''The defendants Brown and Spell man arc committed without bail" said the court and Mrs. Mohr is discharged from custody on this com paint"
 The other charge against Mrs. Mohr and the two negroes is that they committed an assault on Miss Emily Burger with intent to kill. Miss Burger was shot while riding with Dr. Mohr on the night he was attacked. The negroes are accused of actually firing the shot at Miss Burger, while Mrs. Mohr is charged with being an accessory before tho fact to the crime.
 Asked Further Instructions.
 The first word received from Ina jury after it took the case ca1ao at 5:25 o'clock. when it was an nounced that further instructions were desired. Half an hour later the court room and the court was ready to receive the jury, when a deputy sheriff entered and whispered to the judge who immediately announced that the jury had decided that the instructions asked for were not need ed.
 Less than ten minutes elapsed after this announcement when word went around that the jury had agreed upon a verdict and was ready to report. The jurymen looked tired and worn as they passed into the court room. After each man had taken his place in the jury box, the clerk ask ed the foreman:
 Mrs. Mohr ColIapscs.
 DO you find the defendant, Cecil Victor Brown, guilty or not guilty ?" As the foreman replied: 'GuiitN," Mrs. MOhr collapsed. While her cOun- sells were assisting her, the clerk con- tinued:
 Do you find the defendant, Henry Spellman, guilty or not guilty?"
 "Guilty.'
 DO you find the defendant. Eliza beth F. Mohr guilty or not guilty?"
 Not guilty.
 Mrs. Mohr in Stupor.
 Mrs. Mohr was apparently in a stupor when the foreman pronounced the words mot guilty" She recov- cred, however, quickly. Newspaper men began to surround her, but were told by her counsel, John J. Fitz- gerald, not to trouble her then, as she was not in any condition to talk.
 The fight has only begun,' was the comment of William H. Lewis, counsel for Brown. MT. Lewis has taken numerous exceptions during the trial and said that he might carry the case to the supreme court.

 Mrs. Mohr made a short statement after returning to her home last night She said she had been con- fdent from the beginning that no jury would ever convict her, adding that the charge of bringing about the death of the man who was the father of her children, and to whont she had always hoped to become rec onciled was the continuation of a se- ries of misfortunes which had cloud ed her life.
