During last October he vas working
with squad of conyicts who were gra-
ding the Raleigh and Cape Fear rail
road. He snatched Il gun and made Il
break for freedom. Some of the guards
pursued him. Blood-hounds Were put on
his trail. Moore fired at the dogs several
times but without effect He also fired
at Claude Shaw, one of the guards who
was in pursuit. The shot took effect
and Shaw was killed. And it is for
this murder that he was arraigned. The
other guards continued the pursuit and
perhaps might have Jared equally as bad
as Shaw, bout fortunately the murderer
stumbled over a log, fell and broke the
gun he carried. The pursuing guards
pounced upon him and captured him.
He has since been safely cooped.
Moore is Il very large man, weighing
about $50 pounds. He is about forty
years of age and does not posses a very
bad countenance. He has very strik-
ing eye-it being very keen and pene-
trating.
The true bill was found against
Moore yesterday by the grand jury. 1ha

him, which was served by Deputy Chas.
Separk, on him at the penitentiary. The
penitentiary authorities Immediately
turned the prisoner over to Deputy Sc

to the city and presented him to the
