One carriage was occupied by profes- sional pall bearer the casket was placed in the receiving tomb and the cammitment service was read. At its close Mrs. Mohr and the children returned to their home. Mrs. Mohr sent out the invitations to the .services and asked Francis J. Bassett, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, to read the Episcopal funeral ritual in the parlor of Dr Mohr’s house, No. 582 Elmwood ave- rue, in an exclusive residential sec- tion of the city. Mrs. Mohr also directed that the burial should take place at the Swan Point cemeter; Only intimate friends of the famiiy were asked to attend the services Mrs. Mohr arranged that her two children, C. Franklin Mohr, Jr, :u\(l{ inia, who, have been living with her, return to their former home for { their father's funeral. Son Also Present. Charles Manning Mohr, of New York, a son of the physician by fomer ‘marriage, was also here with the expectation of attending the fu- neral. While a large detail of police was sent to guard the Mohr home and hold in check inquisitive spectators, other officers of the city force and Bristol County detectives were search- ing a brook near scene of the mur- der on the Nayatt Toad in Barring- ton. According to the story of one of the three negroes who accuses Mr: Mohr of having hired them to kil her husband, the revolver with which Dr. Mohr was killed and Miss Emily G- Burger, his secretary and comi- panion on Tuesday night's automobile ride, was wounded, were thrown into this brook after the shooting. Search for Doctor’'s Will, Arthur Cushing, Mrs. Mohr's at- torney, who succeeded in obtaining Mrs. Mohr's release last night only by offering his own. property as part security for the bail bond, said to- daythat he would begin a search for the doctor’s wili as soon as the fune- ral was over. He had full charge of the books and papers of the doctor, he said. and he expected to malke a careful search for valuable docu- ments within the next few days. He could not' estimate the value of Dr. Mohr’s estate, but friends of the physician who knew the extent of his practice, said that the property would be worth $500,000. They es- timated Dr. Mohr’s income during the past 15 or.20 years from $50,000 to | $75,000 a year. Assistant District Attorney Cl;\ude‘ R. Branch last night asked that Mrs. | Mohr's bail be fixed at ,000. | | Judge Georse I Brown of the su- perior court held, however, that $10,- 000 was sufficient. The amount was furnished by James M. Finan, a re- tired business man, Robert Jones, an undertaker, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene T Gifford, neighbors of Mrs- Mohr's, and Arthur Cushing,. one of Mrs. Mohr’s counsel: Mrs. Mohr, who maintained her composure through- out the proceedings, was driven soon afterwards to the house where she boarded with her three children near the late home of her husband. Mrs. Mohr Denies Charges. The only statement obtained from Mrs. Mohr during the day was a de- nial of the charges against her When confronted with Cecil Victor the former hostler on the Mohr estate, whose confession led to her ‘arrest, she said: It is not so. You know you came up to my house and said that you were going to . get square with the doctor because he did not pay you what he owed you. I told you not to be foolish. Miss Burger Recovering. Brown, with his two alleged ac- complices, Henry Spellman his half- brother, and George W. Healis, the doctor’s chauffeur, were locked up tonight in the Bristol county jail. All three are charged with murder. At the Rhode Island hospital, where Miss ;Burger i3 kept in seclusion ,it was said she was recovering from her two wounds. Even the court proceedings lead- ing up to the release of Mrs- Mohr furnished dramatic features to a case already crowded with startling developments. Promptly at the hour named by Judge Brown for the hearing, Mrs. Mohr appeared in the superior court accompanied by her counsel, bonds- men and a crowd of newspaper men. Her counsel, Arthur Cushing, the court that he was prepared to furnish bail of $10,000, which he be- lieved the court would find sufficient. Wanted Bail of $25,000. Assistant District Attorney Branch interposed an objection, naming $25,000 as the proper amount, but he was overruled by Judge Brown, who said: “Mrs. Mohr is not a transient. She has interests in Providence, is a per- manent resident here and I think that $10,000 is quite sufficlent.” EGAN JES SANDERS.
