Cru cify her!" after they had murdered her love, The trial which ended to day after being In progress for four weeks closed one of the most sensa tional chapters in Rhode Island's criminal history. Dr. Charles F. Mohr and Emily Bur ger were shot as they sat in a stall ed antomobile on Washington Park road on the night of August 31, 1915. George Healis, the negro chauffeur was apparently endeavoring to repair the engine when the shots were fired from ambush. Dr. Mohr was killed and Mis8 Burger seriously wounded. On September 2, Healis was ar rested. Later the negroes Brown and Spellman were arrested when stories were told of two negroes having been seen fleeing from the scene of the crime on a motorcycle. The shooting was first reported as a hold-up. A few days later the ne groes made a confession. They de clared they were hired by Mrs. Mohr to kill the doctor and Miss Burger. Healis was to get $1,000 for stopping the automobile at a secluded spot in the road and Brown and Spellman were to get $2,000 each for the actual shooting, according to their confes sions. Later these confessions were repudiated. Mrs. Mohr was arrested and in dicted for instigating the murder of her husband on September 13. Mo tions for a separate trial were over ruled and Mrs. Mo^r was ordered to trial with the negroes on January 8. A few days before the trial date, Healis pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of manslaughter, making it certain he would appear as a state's witness. It was understood Healis' sentence was to be governed by the value of the story he had told on the Btand. Healis' testimony was in line with his original confession. Brown and Spellman denied his story. The de fense claimed the state failed to show a motive for Mrs. Mohr's alleged in stigation of the murder plot. Mrs. Mohr spent three days on the stand in her own defense. She told of beat ings administered by the doctor, one of the occasions being after she had gone to Emily Burger and asked her to keep away from Doctor Mohr. Despite his cruelty and drukenness, Mrs. Mbhr insisted she still loved him. The state introduced in evidence letters written by Mrs. Mohr to George Rooks, threatening Miss Bur ger's life if she entered the Mohr Newport home again. Charlie Mohr. the accused woman's twelve year old Bon, told of spying on his father. Throughout the trial there was in the background the hint that a sensa tion might be sprung should Dr. Mohr's private practice be gone Into. Had his private books been intro duced, it is declared, names of many New Way to Wave the Hair Becomes Popular That most women are quick to ap preciate anything that will enhance their attractiveness, is shown by the greatly increased demand for liquid sllmerlne, since its remarkable hair curling properties became known.

Skilled physicians were making superhuman efforts to save her. They were spurred on by humanity—and by the knowledge that she alone may solve the mystery of the brutal murder of her "mother and another woman in their home at Min gus, early tpday. The child, Katie St Clair, while be ing brought the hundred odd miles to this city by train, regained conscious ness at Intervals. "The man! The man!" she would shriek and lapse into a coma again, before she could be questioned. The physicians hold out but slight hope of her recovery. G. W. St. Clair, employed on the night shift of the Texas and Pacific railway in the little mining vilage of Mingus returned to his home at 4:30 this morning. He was surprised to find the front door open. He heard a faint moan from his baby's cot. He found her lying In a pool of blood, her skull crushed. St. Clair picked the baby up in his arms and ran shrieking into the street. Men attracted from a nearby mine entered the house and found Mrs. St. Clair and a boarder, Mrs. William Wilkins, both dead in their beds. They had been struck terrible blows on the head with a carpenter's pinch bar" which was found in aA outer room, blood stained and cover ed with hair. There was no evidence of a struggle. Both had been killed as they slept. The little girl had been Btrnck on the forehead, breaking her skull. The murderer had then Jabbed her in the face several times with the sharp end of the bar, tearing her face to shreds. The authorities have no chie, but are working on the theory that the assailant was an insane man. No valu ables in the house were disturbed. Riots In Portugal.

Our Flag In Mexico. Carthage (111.) Republican: If our flag is forced Into Mexico on any pre text whatever. It would stay there. This is the democratic doctrine of annexation of contiguous territory—u forced to take any. If we are compelled by armed In vasion, to clean up that cankering sore on our side, at a cost to us ot precious lives and considerable ex pense, as a civic, diplomatic and na tional sanitary proposition, we should stay on the Job. This will be a se vere jolt no doubt, to the predatory interests that" want only police v** tection in their exploitation, would be hard hit if compelled that country to live up to American federal laws.

What a great park could nays been made by taking a strip twenty miles wide along the Mississippi 11 er running south from the mouth 0 the Upper Iowa river to Guttenburs All the native wild game could na been preserved, and thus a P'a^®.n world wide interest would have p®* preserved. It is a case of the f»®* ha vi ad an a er years. But a few thousand a"9* would be a great thing. 'Ml
