had seemingly fully recovered from that
complaint, and was attending to his bust
ness up to the day preceding his death.
He left the establishment of the firm, 11O9
Pennsylvania avenue, about l o'clock Fri
day afternoon, complaining of suffering
from a bad cold. Reaching his home he
went at once to bed from which he never
arose.
Mr.. Moore was born in Baltimore about
sixty-three years ago, and came here in
1858 During the war he held the response
BILE position of agent for the Adams Ex-
press Company. Later he entered the
jewelry business. and subsequently es:ab-
lished himself in that business with Mr.. r.
Leding, with whom he was associated at
the time Of his death. The deceased was a
prominent member Of the Episcopal Church,
warden of the vestry of st. Marks Church,
Capitol Hill, and was often a delegate to
the various gatherings in the work of the
Episcopal Church. He was a man of high
character, and his sudden death has occa-
stoned great sorrow. His funeral will take
place from ST. Marks Church at O'Clock
tomorrow morning.

Alexander Sullivan Denies Certain
Statements of Mrs .FOy.
NEW YORK, Dec. ga Chicago special
says:
Alexandria Sullivan has at last broken
his long silence regarding the Cronin case
The sworn statements of Mrs. Andrew Foy,
which connected him with the conspirators,
have caused him to speak and to repel the
insinuations which have been made. Suli-
van says he has not purposely kept silent
regarding the crime.
In interview yesterday he said
when Cronin was first reported to be
missing stated repeatedly to reporters and
others that L knew nothing concerning his
whereabouts. When his body was discov-
cred l expressed regret for his terrible fate
and hoped that the guilty one would be
discovered and brought to justice During
the coroners inquest / requested John
Lane, WeIl-knOWn Reported, To inform
Coroner Hertz That L was Wiling to testify
at the inquest. Mr.. Lane informed me that
he did SO state to Mr. Hertz, but l was not
called. Later, one of the grand jurors who
Investigated the case-Henry Greene baum
met ME in the street and expressed regret
that did not testify before the grand jury.
L told him the states attorney had control
of that investigation and l could not go I'M
less subpoenaed but would have gone
promptly If 1 had been asked, and was
ready to testify whenever called Suisse
quently Mr.. Greenebaum informed me that
he repeated the conversation to States At
torney Longenecker and had suggested that
the latter interrogate me, but Mr. Longe-
Eecker, he said, declined to do So I am
ready now to testify, but am powerless to
force my appearance in a case to which
am not party.
$50 far as the Foy woman's testimony
refers to me 1t is UNANIMOUSLY false She
made a statement for publication recently
In which she ascribed to another the au-
thorship of an imaginary letter which she
now pretends to ascribe to me-"
Sullvan's reference is to that part of
Mrs. Foy's story in which she speaks Of
