DR. MOHR'S COMPANION
TELLS OF HIS MURDER
Miss Berger Takes Stand
Against Wife Defense Scores
Points Against Conspiracy
PHOVIDRNCn, n 1., Jan. 12.
Miss Hmlly Hurgor. employe of Dr.
C P. Mohr, who was with him when tho
doctor wns shot to death, was called to
tho stand by tho State today In the trial
of Mrs. Elizabeth Mohr for tho murder of
her husband. Miss Hurger's appearance
as a witness wns a surprise. She Imme
diately launched Into a recital of tho
shooting.
Miss Uurgcr snld she wns with Doctor
Mohr In his nutomobllc, pnsslng nlong the
Washington road at about 8:30 at night,
when tho shooting occurred.
"As tho shot rang out the chauffeur ox
clnlmcd 'Oh, my Clod I' " snld Miss Uurgcr.
"I thought It wns n tiro blowing out.
"I felt behind my enr; I wasn't suro
about feeling a pain there, and I felt
again. Then 1 found I hnd been shot.
"I tugged at Doctor Mohr's sleovo and
ho fell over limp.
"We hnd stopped only nbout two min
utes for repnlrs when tho shooting oc
curred. I thought they were explosions
and wns nfrnld tho car wns on lire."
The llrst witness of tho day wns Henry
Shnrp Chnfrec, secretnry of nn Iron cor
poration, who was the llrst to find Doc
tor Mohr nnd Miss Lmlly Berger on tho
Washington road, llnrilugton, after they
wero shot.
Tho defense seored nn Importnnt point
when Chaffee admitted that the Wash
ington road, on summer nights, Is much
traveled. Ho snld nnother machine enmo
up not more than two minutes nftcr ho
did. Before Doctor Mohr and Miss Berger
were stnrted for the hospital four ma
chines hnd stopped and a llfth had passed.
This was Intended by the defense to re
fute the State's contention of nn nmbush
Tho first witness to testify against the
woman defendant was Miss Cecilia Cross,
trained nurse, of Boston, who wns In tho
Chaff eo automobile Sho mlded little to
Chaffee's story pxeept that sho said Ilenlls
wns not In tho .Mohr enr, but wnH stand
ing beside It and that he halted them by
raising hla arm.
The nurse said that Miss Berger wanted
to be taken home, but she at llrst declined
to tell her namo nnd address. Sho told
tho Identity of Doctor Mohr readily
enough. The witness snld tho wounded
young womnn was unable to glvo any
details .of the shooting.
George Healls, tho State's negro wit
ness, may today tell his story of the al
leged plot behind the assassination of Dr.
Charles Mohr.
Through Healls tho State expects to
prove that Mrs. Mohr often."! tho negroes
$2000 for killing her husband.
Contrary to tho oponlng statement of
Assistant Attorney Gonernl Abbot Phil
lips that .ilohr'n lolntlvcs lost faith In the
doctor's wife, Augustus D. Mohr and Mrs.
Kiln Hofe-an, brother nnd sister ot tho
slain mnn, worn regarded as probablo wit
nesses for tho defense, having arrived
yesterday from McUmmcnsvIllc, Pa., nnd
being guests of Mrs. Mohr.

RICHMOND VI0LEN1LY
ASSAILS RHINELANDER
IN REPLY TO LETTER
"Heretic," "Trickster, "Conspir
ator" and "Spiritual Degen
erate," Cries Deposed
Clergyman
AGAIN APPEALS CASE
Invectives are hurled nt Bishop Bhlnc
lnnder, of the Episcopal Dloceso of Penn
sylvania, In a letter sent him today by
tho Tlev. Georgo Chalmers Richmond,
dcpoicd rector of fit. John's Church, In
forming the bishop that he nppcals to tho
Court of Hevlew'nt Washington from the
decision of the triers nt his recent cc-
clcslnstlcnl trial.
"Heretic," "trickster," "consplrntnr"
nnd "splrltunl degenernte" are the
terms used by the Itev. Mr. Ttlchmond,
who blames the departure of Bishop Suf
fragan Garland Tor the West, "never to
return," on the "ecclesiastical racket."
He censures the tllshop because tho "dio
cese Is fast declining nnd our Episcopal
Hospital Is closing Va doors."
"Your conduct Is a stench nnd a dls
graco to the church," his vitriolic pen
wrote. "1 shall oppose, your Infamous
conduct. Tou are only n. Bishop, nnd n
poor one, nt that, nnd a dishonest one,
ns I shall prove In my forthcoming trial.
I don't oxpect a reversal of tho decision,
but I wnnt tho Church of Bovlow to lake
n peep behind tho scenes."
Tho Tetter Is a reply to one from tho
bishop Informing tho Bcv. Mr. ltlclmunil
that sentenco would bo pronounced on
him January 22.
"Now I don't propose to allow you to
do this at the present," tho letter says.
"You doubtless would be delighted to ex
ecute sentenco If you could stop mo from
preaching. But nt present you lack tho
essential power. This nffnlr of mine Is
going to tench our Church many lessons
In the dnys to come In tho renlms of wis
dom, democratic Justice and ordlnnry com
mon sense. You will bo a wiser, though
a sadder man. These various Issues will
rovcnl your ccelcslnsllcnl Incompetence,
jour weakness ns a moral guide nnd your
heretical tendencies ns a bishop."
Tho deposed rector demands n personnl
llenrlng, thnt he may mako objection to
tho sitting In tho court of two members,
Bishop Whitehead, of Pittsburgh, nnd
Georgo Wharton Pepper, of this city. He
contends that In the cccleslnstlcnl trlnl ho
wns mndo a martyr to "Uplscopnt dig
nity," although tho triers know his cause
wns Just.
"I told them tho truth (and so did our
great Chnncellnr) when I revealed your
mornl cownrdlce, your servility to finan
cial Interests and narrow-mindedness ns a
BlHhnp, but they had to defend tho sacred
ofllcc of Bishop which you, sir, had denied
over nnd over ngaln," ho wrote. "If you,
Pepper, Lewis nnd tho rest of your con
spiring gang hnd had jour way I would
now bo deposed from the ministry. Our
poor church ndncate. Iiuls Bunk. Is imlv
the tool to execute the orders of our cc
cleslnstlcnl ganu, of which you, too, ate
a tool. It's a bad set that Is defaming tho
nnmo of our church.
"Tho people nro opposed to you. Many
of tho clergy dislike you. Uutsidu tho

HARVEY RINGLER, PET
OF SPORT WORLD ONCE,
NOW POOR AND ILL
Former Speed King, "Good Fel
low" and Wealthy Cafe Pro
prietor Destitute in
Sanatorium
FRIENDS TO AID HIM
Harvey Illnglcr Is destitute nnd 111.
The former speed king, who wns fnmed
for his automobiles and dlnmonds. Is In
the shadow of death. For the last deendo
he hns been a prominent flguro In the
local sporting world. Ho was tho idol
of tho motor trnck and the enfes, and It
wns believed thnt his wealth hnd placed
him on "ensy" street. Next week Blngler
will bo given a benefit by his friends at
the Onycty Thcntrc.
The word has spread nbout town, and
tho?o who knew him In tho better days,
when. It Is said, he spent with n lavish
hand, nro rnllylng to hh Buppoit. Tho
receipts will be sent to hltn nt a sana
torium nt Sarannc Lake, N. Y.
News of tho benefit came ns n great sur
prise to Illngler's friends, who can hnrdly
believe thnt tho locnl motor king Ib down.
But they say that It will not bo for tho
count. In most of tho enfes and nlong
Palrmount Park drlvo there arc tickets on
snlo to help the man who used to order
wine like wntcr nnd glvo tips thnt made
tho waiters regard him with nwo.
The spoils who know the psychology
of he game, however, are not surprised.
"Illnglcr wn a plunger," they say, "nnd
whnt can you expect?" Ho seemed to
como up overnight, us It were, shortly
after he opened n cafe on Market street
below 7th a few yenrs ngo. It blnzed the
trnll cm that thoroughfnro toward tho
river and was nt thnt time n plensnnt
rendezvous for the men of tho sporting
world. Money enmo ensy nnd went ensy
with Blngler. Then ho bought nn nuto
mohlto nnd beenmo Imbued with tho am
bition to bo a rnccr.
His conservative car wns soon suc
ceeded by one of tho racing brand, and
his dashes through tho streots of tho
city made tht). crossing "cops" gasp. The
Philadelphia
11
yellow flyer left ft trail of dust and ft
loud laugh. "It' Harvey Blngler." said
the "cops." He didn't have time to stop
and had lots of money to pay his fines
then. Blngler followed tho motor track
In other cities ns well as here, and at
times made an excellent showing.
Narrow escapes from death seemed to
Increase his love of the sport. While rac
ing at Point Mrocie a. few years ago he
received Injuries which crippled him for
many weeks nnd eventually his racing
plrlt was diminished.
When cabarets became the style, he was
tnr -nhnrl and When the business nt
7th and Market streeU slipped away from
him, largely through lack of attention, it
Is said, he started In the cabaret line
near 7th street and Cllrard avenue.
He wanted things on the deluxe scale,
and engaged tho highest salaried artists
to sing nnd play and dance. But the
expenses went ahead of the receipts, ana
It was necessary to change policy, Blng
ler eventually lost out here, with his
bank roll practically depleted. A flyer in
the movie world resulted similarly, be
cause ho plunged regardless of experience
or general conditions.
And so next week, wnen me viucci.o
of Beauty" disport themselves at the Gay
oty Theatre, a large percentage of the
receipts wit go to Blngler. "Telonto, on
Oriental dancer, will bo among the at
tractions, . . ,. ....
"Ho wns all right when he had It, say
tho sports, ,
"Will they remember It?" Next week
wilt tell the tale.
