Mr.. Purdy reviewed the whole story
Of the shooting, telling how Moran had
attacked his daughter earlier In the
evening and was only prevented from
shooting her because Curtis took the re-
volver from him. Moran returned later
and renewed his attack upon his daugh-
ter and was on the point of shooting at
her when Curtis fired the fatal shot
Mr. Purdy said the Coroner could not
