ftSULS OF DEATH NOTE
jfrrttwman for Prisoners Says Letter
T1mtened to Kill Doctor
Mohr
MIOVIDENCE, n. I Sept t.-Another
Wtkm was naning In the Mohr murder
thte afternoon when the three ne-
i accusi-d, with Mr. Mohr, of killing
thv ryslclnn, denied their confession.
Mh TV. Healls, chnurfcur of the slain
' doctor's car, stated In his denial that
pother "car followed the one occupied
'ty Doctor Mohr and his companion, Mis
tatfr Burger. He believed, he said, that
MV Vr BIU(HVU Ut, . vma a tew "
he. the stalled automobile of Doctor
Mohr stood and that an occupant, creep
Ititr up from behind, shot the physician
mt Miss IJurger. Both Bron and Spell
4nan Joined Healls In his denial of tho
Vrlroe.
Healls, when he made the denial, spoke
jfcrodgh the bars of his cell In tho county
II at Bristol, acting as spokesman for
the trio.
"Tell the peoplo that we are absolutely
Innocent and that we believe Mrs. Mohr
'knew nothing of this crime. Wo hae
"never signed a confession and anything
"we said to the Providence police was said
ln a Joking way. or In a spirit of anger.
J "Dr. Mohr, to my knowledge, had been
itnrratened by several prominent Hhodo
(island, people, I found a letter In his car
(ram a man living on Elmwood avenue
In which he threatened the doctor and
said that If ho did not ceaso his atten
tion to the writer's wife he would fill
ffn full of bullets."
f Cecil Victor Drown, who had previously
.vonfessed to having been the leader of
Aho plot to kill Doctor Mohr, added to
Heads' statement.
.j "I seo that the ProVldenco police say
-that Itealls saw Mrs. Mohr In Providence
m Monday evening. That's . Joke, for
Healls was In Xewport all day Monday
and Monday night"
Tollowlng this came a denial thnt ho
had ever written or signed a confession
of the crime,
Mrs. Elizabeth Blair Mohr today con
tinued to declare her Innocence of In
denting tho murder of her husband. Dr.
'C Franklin Mohr. The police have learned
'tliat Mrs. Mohr was threatened with
'death If ahe disobeyed her husband, that
he had beaten her frequently and that
her had knocked down their 7-year-old
daughter Virginia, when ho thought ahe
was spying on him.
Mrs. Mohr made these statements, re
garded by the police as being very near
jk ptea of Justification, to Constable Wal
lace, of Qarrlngton. He had an inter
jvlow with the woman while she wns In
the Bristol County Jail and apparently
khe spoke freely to him
f "What I had to endure In tho U years
(that I wa the wire cf Doctor Mohr,"
"the woman said to Constable Wallnce.
'would have prompted some woman to
Jklll him years ago. Ills family knew
Jwhat kind of a man ho was and urged
W not to continue to live with him, but
i )ibeed a change would tome.
I j'?':lor Mohr became a confirmed user
er arugs. and this and women became a
.uiuu wun nun. lie was a poor man
5r1ie7i"e were married: when h dloit
he had an Income of 150,000 a year. lis
uowert mo J10Q a month.
r 'He mnda nearly all of his money by
Illegal operations, I was always in terror
that he would bo detected.
"A for his aiTalrs with women, had I
wanted to sue for divorce I could (have
brought the names of many, many promi
nent people of Providence and Newport
Into the case, but I was not willing to
wrck other homes.
"I was In deadly fear of my husband.
He often beat me, and once when I re
fused to slgir over to him certain prop
erty thnt was In my name, he threatened
to kill me," ,
Tlie police here, from what waa thus
disclosed, seem to seo a reason why a
nervous, brooding woman would want to
be revenged on tho man who had sub
jected her to tho persecutions of which
ahe told.

Judge Ferguson Grants Petition
for Injunction Against City's

of Movie Film
SALE OF TICKETS LARGE
Tho negroes' protest Against the pres
entation ot The Hlrth'of a Notion-' At
thr Korreat Theatre, tonight, ha. been In
vain. Jurtge'F'crguson, In Common Pleas
Court thl afternoon, granted an Injunc
tion restraining Director Porter froi.i In

In granting the Injunction, which vtas
st-ught by the Kpoch Producing Company

"I am ionfldent that 'the colored people '
of this city will not do nnythlng un

Assistant City Solicitor Ernest Lowen
grund pointed out that Judgo Sulxbcrgcr
prevented the appcarnnco here eight

from which the picture was taken. HO
said that Thomas Dixon, the Author, al
ways wrote to arouse race hatred, and
that a fight outside the theatre might
cause a panic Inside.

there has been a constant lino of patrons j
nt the tlckat office. The houso was neatly t
nl,l ntit nt niwin Ta lutnnh hn. n.liiul
that his money for tickets be refunded.
A a result of their protest the Director
prohibited the picture's presentation. The
management, however. Is determined that
the plcturo will be shown.
In nearly every city where the plcturo
has been presented there have been Pro
tests by negroes. While they were suc
cessful In obtaining a police order agnlnBt
the pictures In every case, this had been
overruled In moat cases by the courts.
In many Instances It was learned thnt
catering to the negroes regardless of the
opinion of the remainder of tho public
wns for the purpose of capturing the
negro voto at the coming election.
In four coses the courts have enjoin d
city officials from .stopping the film on
the ground of rafo prejudice. In one
case Judgo Held, ot Pittsburgh, culled
attention to the fact that tho plcturo had
been approved by the State Board of
Censors, a body established by law. He
also declared that the picture had been
shown to several millions of people with
out causing a breach of the peace.
Director Porter said he had learned that
a larjjo number of negroes had bought
tickets to see the picture, nnd ho under
stood It was their intention to rise In their
sects and protest against the picture In
tho theatre tonight In view of possible
trouble, he said, It was his duty to pro
tect tho public by preventing tho pro
duction. "I will have to take every method," he
added, "to prevent disturbances. I have
been overwhelmed with protests, includ
ing one from 20,000 negro Knights of
Pythias."
"I have seen the plcturo at the request
of J. Louis Breltlnger, chief of the Board
of Censors, and In view of the negro
population here, it is my opinion, that It
should not be shown.
GOVERNOR, AT FRISCO,
LAUDS PENNSYLVANIA
Continued from ' One
population of Pennsylvania as 9,000,000, a
growth of mora than a million since the
1010 census.
Governor Brumbaugh, In opening his
address, said:
"Those of us here today have come to
thlr great exposition to observe Penn
sylvania Dar a day that Is dear to our
hearts for we love the great Keystono
State nnd Its unmatched recdrd of lofty
sorvlco to our nation. We have come
from .he home of 5,000,000 of good peoplo
to thlt land of wondern, of great achieve
ments, of lofty Ideals worthy of true men.
Our entire clllxenry will turn today to

Joining with ua-ln the prayer 'God bless
California, Ood bless Pennsylvania, God
bless the Union.'
"We are far from home and yet wo are
at homo. Wherever free people foregather
under the Phllndtlphla-born flag of the
Union Is homo for Pcnnsylvanlans."
Alter reviewing brlelly the history of
the nation up to the First and Second
Continental Congresses and noting Penn
sylvania's support of the movement for
liberty, the Governor went on:
"This anniversary of tho First Conti
nental Congress we observe not nt Phila
delphia but here upon the western hnr.
dera of a nation whose growth and ex
pansion have no parallel In all the
annals of men. The reason for this Is
not dlfllcult to determine. We nre the
fortunate possessor of tho richet, most
varied, most wonderful land In the
world, But this girt of God would mean
little and count less If our people did
not possess tho genius, tho Initiative, the
courage to possess it as the land of the
free, the homo of the newer man pf des
tiny, the man who, sensing things In the
large, resolved that equality before the
law and democracy enlightened by loyal
ty should be his and his children's for
ever. "Every true American will subscribe
to the teachings of that most eloquent
of speeches, the speech of a modest dele

to his maiden effort In public debate,
said, 'I propose to organize at my own
expense a regiment and to march at

The Old Gua-rd leaders believe nji-'

are sending word to the voters tht th
Democrats "must stay togctner this Wi
so as to present a united front against

Under the bipartisan deals of fornir
years tho Democrats, by voting for th?'
own candidates, would prevent these votel'
from going to the antl-Organlzatlon canal'

Guard Democratic candidates for mlnorltrtH
