Oue son and threo daughters sur viveCharles IC. Salisbury of this city, Mrs. George C. Voll and Miss Boyrl Salisbury of Newark and Mrs. M.

Wade of Sandusky. The funeral service will be hold at tho home of Mrs. Vail in Newark Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Tho remains will be brought to this city on the 11:52 train Saturday morning and taken to Mound View cemetery for burial In a fast and exciting game Wednesday night the Mounts clearly established tholr superiority over the Korn Hatters of Columbus. And, according to tho statements of tho Korn players, displayed a brand of basketball that would defeat anything In Columbus, oxceptlng possibly tho State University team.

The game has placed the Mounts in an enviable position when it is to bo considered that tho Korn Hatters only last week with tho same team defeated by the score of 39 to 27, tho Bates Pirates, well known and feared by the local fans. The teams in the Capitol City league are made up of college stars, coaches and professional players and probably Columbus is farther advanced in its development of basketball than any of our middle weBt cities. Superiority over such teams Is quite a feather. The Korns looked to be easy winners In the warm up. They Beemed to be able to cage tho ball from any angle at will.

The murmur went through the crowd that, if at any time, the Mounts would be defeated. But after the game had started and the Korns had made several futile attempts to get by the guard, Yauger and Jones, the crowd began to take hope and cheer. It took about one minute's play for Seymour to cage the first points, to be quickly followed by Reeder with another basket. Then, in quick order, tho score was run to 14 points by tho Mounts while the Korn had not secured a single field goal, but had succeeded in making two foul goals. Tho last ton minutes ot the first half was without a score on either side.

The Korns had strengthened their defense, playing only a guarding game. The battle at this point was a close and fast one. In the second half It was, nothing but Mt. Vernon. Bonds got started hero and by rapid dribbling shot some pretty goals.

He would start down the floor with his man after him as hard as ho could run and would handle the ball so deftly that tho crowd would cheer wildly. The Mounts played from a team standpoint their best game. The passing and floor work of Reeder, Seymour and Bonds was of an Improved type, while tho work of the guards was of a nature that made all take off their hats. The summary: Mt. Vernon (46) Korn Hatters (8) Seymour, Hayes Paull, Rogers L.

F. Reeder, Jacobs Saunders, Metzger R. F. Bonds Hayes C. Jones Rogers, Davison R.

Elizabeth Frances Mohr for Instigating the murder of her husband came when, as the first witness ot the defense, she took tho stand and told a story of cold-blooded brutality she suffered at the hands ot her husband up to the time when she ceased to live with him. Only twice was her colorless voice raised from the low monotone that barely carried to the Jury when she denied that she had ever plotted against Dr. Mohr's life, and when, with her last words of the session, she reached the climax of her narrative In protesting that, despite all the Indignities she had enduied, she loved her husband and always wished for a reconciliation with him. For nearly two hours Bhe held the attention of her hearers with a narrative that contained almost nothing dramatic except Its accumulative weight ot cruelty. Mrs.

Mohr pictured her husband during the last years ot their unhappy married life as a man made mad by drink and the use of drugs, whoso rage when she displeased him turned to blows and threats' against her life hor own attitude as that of a wife trying to save her husband from disgrace, hoping to win him back and fighting to save property he had given her for her children.
