CHAUFFEUR'S
CONFESSION
TESTIFiES IN MURDER CASE HOW
MRS. MOHR PLANNED DEATH
OF HER HUSBAND.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 19.-Geo.
w. Healis, the negro chauffeur who
turned states evidence against Mrs
Elizabeth +. Mohr and the two ne
groes on trial for the murder OF DR..
G. Franklin Mohr, was called today as
the chief witness for the prosecution.
He began by testifying regarding the
circumstances leading up to the al
legged plot by Mrs. Mohr and the ne
groes to slay the physician.
The chauffeur testified that Brown
and Henry II. Spellman, the other ne
gro defendants, worked for the doctor
in the stables and that Brown was dis
charged August u, 1915, because he
was suspected OF communicating with
Mrs. Mohr.
Before Brown was discharged,
Heals said, che told me on Aug. IA
that he had come from Boston and
was on his way to Newport. He said
he was going to get even with the
doctor He said he had vial of pos
on in his pocket which Mrs. Mohr had
given to him to put few drops in
the doctors coffee. He told me he
was afraid, though. because his wife
was a cook in the doctors house and
he was afraid she would get into trou
BILE. He opened his coat and showed
me revolver and said he was going
to shoot the doctor. ! thought he
was joking"
After Brown was discharged he and
witness said. "Mrs. Mohr told Brown
Healis went to see Mrs. Mohr
hot lo
even," Healis continued
Mrs. Mohr prepared supper fol-
Brown that night, Healis said, ant
then Brown and Mrs. Mohr went into
another room for two or three min
uteS.
"When we got outside the witnes.
confined, Brown showed me a 81,
bill. He told me Mrs. Mohr gave il
to him for the motorcycle. He said
And if you stop the car on the way tt
Newport some night, there'l be {
whole lot more money. All you've GO
to do is to stop the car. You cal
say it was case of holdup.'
"On Friday night, August 27, 1915
Brown came to my rOom," Heali.
said, "and told me to come with hin
to see Mrs. Mohr.'
According to the alleged confession.
of Brown and Spellman, the murder
was originally planned for Aug. 2S
but it did not occur that night be
cause Healis refused to stop the car
owing to the fact that Miss Florence
Ormsby, the doctors office girl. ant
Miss Martha Wilson. his housekeeper
were in the machine. The shootins
occurred on the night of Aug. 81.
