A MOTHERS CRIME
Mrs. Marian Moore Accused of
Her Daughters Murder.
She Charged Another Woman With the Deed
She Was infatuated With the
Girls Lover.

Especial TO THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
CCHARLEsToN, w. Va, March 24-Marian
S. Moore, beautiful young woman thirty
years of age, was arrested here tonight for
one of the most horrible crimes on record.
Mrs. Moore was married when she was
sixteen. Her Oldest child was a handsome
girl of thirteen. Two weeks ago the child
was found murdered in the house, her
throat having been cut from ear to ear
with razor. All the family were absent
81 the time. Mrs. Moore claimed that as
she was returning home she saw woman
named Eliza Hackney leaving the house,
and on her evidence the Hackney woman
was arrested. Charged with the crime, the
evidence failed entirely to convict her of it,
and to-day she was discharged. In the
meantime evidence has been secured show
ing that Mrs. Moore was blindly infatuated
with James Semple, a hired man N her
husbands employ. The man apparently
paid no attention 10 her advances but had
repeatedly asked Moore to be allowed TO
marry the daughter, Bette, and paid her
asslduous attention. All the evidence
tends to show that Mrs. Moore in her furi-
Gus jealousy took the opportunity to Kill
her own child in the most horrible manner
possible. The facts of the case and her
efforts to throw suspicion on the Hackney
woman have caused intense excitement
The officers confidently expect that Mrs
Moore will break down and make confess

Of their coat. We fail to understand the
meaning of the American reply that dam
ages cannot be recovered, because if the
proposal is accepted, England would be
bound to recover them and refund them to
America. On the other hand. if the de-
cision is adverse TO the American
claim, as most people acquainted
with international law expect there would
be no MEANS as matters now stand, of Sc
curing compensation for the injury done to
British sealers by the suspension of fishing
in 1891, while renewal of the interdict
viii cause much heavier losses''
Commenting on the danger of bringing
the British and American fleets in prox-
unity, the Times says it is only too likely TO
bring them into con filct and concludes:
Tail twisting may be popular sport, but
serious quarrel with England is not
likely to assist Harrison in the presidential
campaign"
The Daily Neps, referring to the cor
respondence, says there is much force in
Wharton's objection that damages are I'M
recoverable from individuals. Cannot Lord
Salisbury pledge our credit for any fine
imposed. If America objects, she might be
invited TO put it another way by pledging
herself to pay for the luxury of prohibition.
The Times says the possibility Of compli-
cations is causing uneasiness among mem
oers of the commons. If the modus vivendi
Is not restored it is believed America will
