COURT HEARS ECHO
OF SHOOTING CASE
William Moore, Coast Artillery
Sergeant, on Trial on Muir
derOuS Assault Charge

William Moore. a sergeant of the
Coast Artillery stationed at Fort Du-
Pont. was placed on trial in the Court
of General Sessions yesterday after
noon on the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder. John j.
O'Neil. whom Moore is accused Of hav-
ing shot, is the prosecuting witness in
the case.
Moore is represented by ]. Frank
Ball
John J. ONen testified that on the
night Of the shooting he called Moore
from a pool room at Delaware City.
He admitted that he. knocked Moore
down and the latter shot him. O'Neill
wore the same suit of clothes he had
on the night of the shooting, and show
ed where the bullet entered.
In cross-examination O'Neill said
that Moore had not said no done any
thing TO him that night. and that he
hunted Moore that night to "have an
understanding with him" He denied
that he had ever threatened Moore's
life. Witness said that while Moore
was backing away from him, he fol-
iNMiW lAlill uIit AAbhA' AftNAAAH HIS ANAA
hand i'm the breast OF his uniform coat
all the time. Then witness pulled
Moore's hand from the breast of his
coat and then knocked him down.
Moore had no revolver in his hand
when witness pulled it from the
blouse.
He admitted that the soldier had not
attempted To strike witness at any
time. but that he (O'NeilD continued
TO batter the sergeant and knock him
down because he had this hand i'm the
blouse And then. because the Ser
geant did not produce any gun, the
witness concluded the Sergeant had no
gun. He did not see Moore shoot
him. His whole testimony on cross
examination tended to show that he
had battered the Sergeant and had
followed him up while the latter was
backing away, and created the general
impression that the witness had forced
the row upon himself.
William b. Sigle. John J. Meade.
Harry Rose and Roland Reese cor
roborated O'Neill regarding the trouble
between the men. According to the
testimony Moore hacked away from
O'Neill and did not shoot until he had
been knocked down several times by
O'Nein.

from Horace Greeley'S time great
men have been noted for their poor
chirography. and in this connection
joaquin Miller. the poet OF the Sier.
ras," is no exception. But the best story
regarding the poets handwriting that
have heard came recently from the
secretary of well known local club.
II seems that the club desired TO have
the poet address the organization at
an annual affair at which an elaborate
program had been prepared. The sec
retary addressed u letter to Joaquin
telling him OF the purpose OF the jinks
and requesting his cooperation. He
was scheduled for a recitation.
In due time there came an answer
from the poet. IL was in his own
hand and covered four pages. In vain
the secretary poped over the manu-
script. He turned It over to the presi-
dent. the board Of directors and the
members 10 turn, but all failed to de-
cipher the scrawl. The question be-
fore the club was. Has Miller accepted
or has he declined?
The secretary finally took the mat
ter into his own hands and addressed
the following note to Miller:
MY Dear Mr.. Miller - Your letter re
ceved. but hive been unable 70 deter
mine whether you have accepted or de-
clined our Invitation. II you will be pres
ent on the date mentioned will you kindly
make a Gross on the bottom OF this letter?
II II will DO impossible for you 70 appear
viii you kindly draw a circle?
In due time the letter came back
marked as requested. but the secre-
tary could not decide whether it was
a cross or circle. -Snn Francisco Call.
