MOM FEARED HE WOULD BE MURDERED Employes Tell of Alleged Threats Against His Life Made by Hostler PROVIDENCE. R. I., Sept. 9.-In view of tho revelations from employes at Dr. C. Franklin Mohr's Newport estate, Montpeller, of alleged threats mado by Victor Brown, discharged negro hostler, against Doctor Mohr and the employes there, tho police felt today that their case against Mrs. Elizabeth T. Mohr, widow of the slain physician and the three negroes bring held, was greatly strengthened. JohnMcAndrews, superintendent of the Newport estate, Is'allegefr tb have Btated that Doctor Mohr told him, Martha Wil son, thu housekeeper, and Julia Duffy, a servant, tho day before he was shot to death, of his fears that he would bo the victim of a murder plot by his wife. According to McAndrews, Doctor Mohr talked over threats made by Brown and his fears concerning his wife for nearly an hour, showing much concern for his life. It also was developed from em ptoyes that Brown was ordered dismissed by the doctor, following the discovery that the hostler was in conversation with Mrs. Mohr In the stable, three weeks prior to the killing of Doctor Mohr and tho wounding of Emily Burger. While employes of her former husband were relating these damaging points, which piobably will be used in the State's case against her, Mrs. Mohr stood weep Ing bitterly over the neck of a favorite saddio horse In a nearby pasture. This was her first visit to tho Newport estate since tho tragic death of her husband.

How the JURRllnp; ot municipal contracts by unprincipled city official! was brought to an end by the Hlankenburu adminis tration lah the subject treated In another of tho "Lcat We Forget" article, mado public today by Itlchard. U. Austin, Samuel 8. Fels, Charles T. Jenkins, Theo doro J. Lewis, William Draper Lewi. Francis B. Reeves, Charles Z. Tryon and John C. Winston. Tho article calls attention to the activ ity of the Bullitt Committee, or tho "Tax payers' Commltteo on City Finances." during- tho two years prior to the advent ot the Illankenburs administration This committee conducted 17 civil suits and prosecuted four city officials and two contractors on criminal charges during that time. The most notable of these cases was tho action against tho Filbert Paving and Construction Company, according to the article. This suit. It Is pointed put, re sulted In the setting aside of a contract between the McNIchol concern and the city for repairs to asphalt streets occu pied by street railways for the year 1910. The courts found that a conspiracy ex isted between the officials of the city and tho company, and, charging the contract ing firm nnd these officials with fraud, enjoined the payment of further sums to the company and ordered the repayment of a largo amount to the City Treasury. The caso was appealed and came before tho Bupreme Court In 1912, when the former decision was sustained, the court asserting that "the bid was manipulated with a skill and In a manner that would do credit to thoso who were "trained In such matters." Both courts found that "tho officers of tho city gave orders for work In amounts exceeding 100 yards and not exceeding BOO yards, with Intent to favor tho contractor." Tho rest of the article shows how the city officials took advantage of the op portunity to add to the amount of work to be done at a high price and to lessen the work to bo done at a lower price, thus favoring the contractor to the extent, of many thousands ot dollars, and Inci dentally relieving him from a flve-ycax guarantee contract.
