Juryncn.
:. MCINTYRE. Coroner.

In the girls pocket when she died, was
Il letter she had written to her father, a
small sum of money, and small piece of
wire which may have caused her death.
1t is important to state in this connection
however, that the physicians who made
the post mDrtem were positive from the
appearance of the remains, that she did
not Use the wire herself.
Our reporter after gaining all the facts
he could, called upon DR.. Moore for his
explanation of the serious matter. The
doctor and his wife expressed great de-
light in stating the facts for public print.
Before giving the story which was de-
tailed very infinitely, it should be stated
that there is an important disagreement
as to the time when the girl reached Dir,
Moore's residence. The prosecution
claim that she arrived there the 10TH and
never was seen alive again except by DIR.
Green, who was called as stated above.
DR.. Moore a d wife say that she arrived
the day before Christmas. If the latter
statement is true, she did not receive her
death wounds as stated by the verdict of
the jury. 1t would be medical imposs-
blit The jury are very positive that
they are correct in their statements and
conclusions, and DIR. Moore is equally as
positive that they are wrong.
DIR. Moore and wife give their version
of the affair as follows
Just before dinner, the day before
Christmas, the door bell rang and Mrs.
Moore going to the door saw young
girl standing on the walk. She inquired
for the doctor and was shown in. The
doctor soon came in, and she explained
who she was and called the doctors at.
tan In 10 of ha had
in her fathers family for years. He re-
called her and asked what allied her. She
told him she had taken cold and was few
erish. She said her father was to meet
her there and take her home. As her
father was coming to meet her, she was
invited to remain till he arrived. She eat
scarcely any dinner, but complained of
sore throat. The doctor mixed her some
simple remedies for cough and cold and
kept her over the register. The next
day she was nervous and although invit
ed out to a Christmas dinner, they did not
feel like leaving her alone, and so went
one at time. 7 he next day she was de-
lerious and attempted to jump out of the
window. She was able to be dressed ev
cry day and expecting her father to ar
rive at any time, they waited his coming.
Monday morning before daybreak she
was much worse and DR.. Green was call
ed He cons dered 1t n case of typhoid
fever, although he expressed suspicious
that she was pregnant. This was the
first idea that the doctor or his wife state
that they suspected such to be the case
Before noon she was dead.
Mrs. Moore states that she took the
girl In because she pittied her and she
only did what any one would do under
similar circumstances. They both feel
keenly the unfortunate position in which
they are placed. The feeling against DR..
Moore in the village is very bitter Indeed.
County Attorney Bradbury visited
Scion Saturday, to look into the case.
He will make thorough investigation OF
the matter
| Monday night upon new evidence OBJ
tanned County Attorney Bradbury swor'

der. The warrant was placed in the hand
of deputies Grant and Williams who wer
ordered to proceed to Scion and place DR.
