The most serious charge in the list of
indictments Is that of manslaug hter and
Edward Moseley, q hurley coiored fellow
who inflicted mortal injuries on Motor
man Joseph W. Starr is tho party who
will have to defend himself against this
serious charge. Moseley was a passenger
on a ghuurber avenue car, shortly after
midnight Saturday, October 81, and
when the horse car barn was reached he
was found asleep after having wesried
himself with liquor and disordcrly con-
duct. The conductor told him he must
leave the car and when Mot orman Starr
came through the car Moseiey assaulted
him and the two men rolled off the car in
the tight. They managed to get their
feet and then they struggled again and
Starr was thrown heavily TO the ground.
His head struck the sidewalk and when
he was picked up he was IN a dszed con-
dition and within 10 hours he was dead.
The post no tenn examination showed
his skull had been fractured. Moseley
was held by Judge Sweetland OF the sixth
district court In $4,000 bail, he did not
get security and was in Jail until this
morn ing.
When arrsigned to plead to the indict-
ment today, Moseley said not guilty.
His counsel, John M. Brennan, made an
earnest plea for reduction of bail, saying
had claims on the profession,
having worked for ex-Attorney General

who spoke very highly OF him. The
court reduced bail to s25OO and this sum
satisfied General Brennan.
