BROKE SEVEN OF HIS RIBS.
Saloonkeepcr Moore's Brutal Attack
on an Old MAN.

"Burly Roadster" John H. Moore, the
well known road house keeper on the
Secaucus Road, is in the County Jail
awaiting the arrival of a bondsman to
go his bail for $500. Moore was arrested
on complaint of George Roth, an old
man over seventy-five years old. Roth
is now in Christ Hospital, suffering from
a badly bruised head and seven broken
ribs, the effects OF a beating he received
at Moore's brutal hands.
The story of the fight is, that Roth
went into Moore's road house and ten
dered a 81 bill in payment for a drink
Moore gave him in change some coins
that lie not exactly suit the old mans
fancy and he refused to accept them,
Hot words ensued, and Moore broke a
soda water bottle over Roth's head n
knocked him down. When the old man
fell down., Moore jumped upon him,
breaking seven of his ribs. An ambu-
lance was called and the old man taken
to the hospital.
He has a good constitution and will
recover: but it will be several months
before he will be able to leave the hos
pital.
Moore is held for the Grand Jury.
