INQUEST
BEGUN

Coroner Lincoln began yesterday an In
quest to determine the cause OF and re-
sponeibiiity for the death OF Ellen Moore.
wife Of william p. Moore. which oc-
CURED at 50 Douglas avenue. last week
wednesday.
Moore is now held in $4,000 on the
charge Of msnslaughteE
Captain Horton. who Investigated the
case, said that Moore told him tSat ne
had slept out the night OF Mrs. Moores
death. giving three versions as to where
ne was, neither OF which stories was
found 20 be true
Moore's son told the captain that his
father and mother had quarreled in the
house that night, both having been drink
ing heavily.
At 2 o'clock In the morning he cav his
IA ther strike his mother and that he then
kicked her. These assertions the boy re-
peated IN the presence OF his father.
Moore subsequently, told the captain
that II he. Moore, struck his wife, he.
Moore, was so drunk that he could not
remember having done so.
Lieutenant John p. Hartnett said that
Moore claimed TO have come home at s
o'clock in the morning and TO have then
found his wife dead on the kitchen
floor.
That evening Moore was questioned con-
cerning his wife's death. He declared that
he could not remember having had any
quarrel with his wife, but wouldn't say
he did not have one. because he had quar-
relied with her on previous occasions and
had given her a black eye many time
for taking too much liquor.
She would do nothing toward cleaning
UP the house or get any meals for him
or the children. When she woke up and
found the money gone she may have been
mad about it. and II she got after him he
may have struck her ana she may have
fallen out OF the bed. There were two
empty bottles on the floor and she might
have fallen on them and that might have
killed her. but he didn't remember
whether they had any night, as he was
very drunk himself.
II he did strike her and she fell out OF
bed he did not mean 10 Kill her and would
not do any such thing.
James II. Shields, who will defend
Moore in the manslaughter case now
pending against him, was present
throughout the hearing.
