Tom says Mike was not particularly
quarrelsome, but was very sulky, seemiu q
at all times to be breeding over some ap-
parent injury he had received. His first
wife was considered vir,uous, and the
neighbOrs say was a very lively, kind
hearted girl. The mother of the Moores
died some three or four years ago. Mike,

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
On last Saturday Chief of Police, John
[. Harris, went to Tyrone and found the
name of NJ. Moore and wife on n hotel reg
lister, ard was informed by the proprietor
that they had occupied the same room
there on Wednesday night preceding the
murder, and on Sunday District Attorney
Sschler went to Philadelphia, and called
at the houses on Dean street. He found a
family of very nice people living there.
lie entered, and showing one of the child
rem the likeness taken out of the trunk
mentioned last week, the boy sud that that
was the likeness of Lizzie, and that he had
stolen it. She went by the name of Lizzie
Stevenson, and had been keeping house for
this family some nine years, until about
six weeks before the murder, when, they
stated, she went out with strange man
and did not tell where she was going
1t appears that Mike, or somebody else,
went for her to Philadelphia, and took Ter
away to some place along the line of the
railroad, probably with the idea of getting
her out OF the way of Tom, his brother,
who threatened to bring her on here and
convict Mike of bigamy. But the plan was
afterwards changed. for the neighbors say
- >;fH TI fGnr weeks before the murder
(ntter Mike had returned from an Isss.era
trip, that he went up to near where the
murder was committed, and after his visit
parts of slaves were found stacked up, as
if to dry, while other pieces were put on
the top of them to cause the rain to run
off, and also that he had, some time previ-
Gus, bought two bottles OF carbon oil at
Lilly's station. t 40
If the statements made are true, it is
very evident Mike, after taking Anna
from the house in Philadelphia, left her
some piece on the road, and came home
and made preparations for the murder.
