URDAY ) FEBRUARY 5. 1916. “SAFETY FIRST” Topic' for Feb. 6---Sunday Evening---7:§0 -t At Trinity Methodist Church You AYe Welcome - —— ———————— ATTORNEY GENERAL: SUMS UP MOHR CASE Hakes Bitter Attack on Widow in Closing Argument to Jury Providence, R. I, the completion Feb. Attorney Rice’s closing argument to the jury for the prosecution late vesterday, the trial of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr with her a point 5.—With General of and two negroes charged husband’s murder, reached Where only the charge of the court | on the law of the case is required be- | fore the fate of the three defendants is delivered into the hands of the Jury, The prosecuting attorney held the Jury and the overcrowded court room at bigh ‘tension from beginning to ¢nd of an address that occupied the entire afternoon. Attacks Mrs, Mohr. Throughout the long sessions Mrs. Mohr sat beside her counsel as im- mobile as marble, with the exception (0f one time, . when she wiped the | tears from her eyes as the stern "Vi!a,g(‘u prosecutor asserted that there Wwas no evidence to show that “she ever looked upon the face of her dead husband.” “Could she do it ” asked Mr. Rice !in melancholy tones. “I don’t know, 1 don’t know.” Continuing, the prosecutor said: ‘“The defendants, Brown and Spell- man, were out of a job and an offer of $2,000, to do a job of this kind was an immense fortune for Brown, and $1,000 to Spellman was a fortune for him. Brown was practically a slave of Mrs. Mohr. Did you ever stop to think what influence a white woman has over a colored man? We of the white race can’t 1ealize how strong that influence is. Pampered and flattered, I'm afraid that boy would be her slave forever. The colored race are a faithful race, but a white woman puts herself on the same level as a colored man, she an honors him in his opinion. We find out that Mrs. Mohr was suing her husband for divorce and that she Fnew Miss Burger was going down to Newport that night with him. Who had the motive? Then who did the actual shooting? Situation in 1915, | “Mrs. Mohr admitted she haad talked a settlement on a basis of an absolute divorce for the Newport home and $75,000. The feeling was S0 bitter that each was trying to do } all he or she could against the other. That was the situation in the summer of 1915. Dr. Mohr separated from his wife a year and a half before, and Miss Berger was going with him con- stantly. 1 believe that had the doc- tor been granted a divorce he would have married that lady.” Discussing the status of the divorce and equity suits pending, Mr. Rice said that there was every reason why Mrs. Mohr would have benefited by the doctor’s death at just that time.

Her veins must have been filled with bitterness, envy, malice, hatred and uncharitableness. “Look at the four defendants and don’t you think ‘that Healis, who turned state’s evidence, the only cne who has found his soul? He has told the truth and is a free man.” Dramatic Recital. The attorney general’s soliloquy in which he carried on an imaginary conversation ®ith Dr. Mohr from the grave, was a dramatic recital. He declared he could hear the doctor say “he had only one cnemy on earth— the woman who made hell on earth for him and pursued him to his death.” Mr. Rice asserted that the entire estate of Dr. Mohr was behind the defense. ~ Mr. Lewis, counsel for Prown, objected to the statement that he was being paid by Mrs. Mohr, and Mr. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Mohr’s counsel, also asked for an exception to that part of the arsument in which he thought the attorney general reflecteq on his status in the case. SUCCESSFUL MASQUERADE. Last Evening’s Aaffair One of Best Ever Held By Society. The fifty-first and most successful masquerade ever held by the New Britain Turner society took place last evening in the society’ hall on Arch street and from early in the evening until the we sma’ hou the large gathering present had an enjoyable evening.
