MRS MOORE TO ENDEAVOR
To SAVE HUSBAND
story of Her Part in the Death OF
Charles Gibson, Wealthy Indiana
Oil Operator.

Nincennes, Ind, Dec. G-ln sup
shot and killed Charles Gibson,
wealthy Oil field operator, in per-
iod Of madness induced by her CON
fession that she had been intimate
with Gibson, Mrs. Menlo Moore re-
lated her story to the jury
before which Moore is being tried
for Gibson's murder. Mrs. Moore
said Gibson pursued her persistently,
His office was in the same building
IS that of her husband, who is man
ager of a circuit OF theaters.
Gibson, she said, told her her hus-
band was not true to her, and offer
ed to prove it by taking her to a
country place a certain night in July
where he said her husband had an
appointment with a woman. She ac-
ceDtea, and they drove IN a buggy
to barn on a lonely road. Her hus-
band was not there.
Mrs, Moore testified that Gibson
attacked her and thereafter forced
her to continue relations with him
by threatening to expose her to her
husband She made trips with Glib
son to Cincinnati and St. Louis dur
ing her husbands absence from
home. Her confession to her hus-
band followed the receipt by him OF
an anonymous letter advising him
that his wife and Gibson were sub
jects Of public gossip.
She said on the morning of Octo-
Der 3, Moore met Gibson at the rail-
road station, and without warning
shot him four times. Gibson fell
dead.
During his wife's recital Moore sat
apparently in a stupor in the prison
ers dock. The defense expects to
close its evidence tomorrow.

Like many another great man,
Mark Twain was fond of children

actor Of rare ability, he trained the
three little girls and their friends to
their parts. The Clemens cnarade
evening and dramatic events, were
properly distinguished among Hart
ford home entertainments.
Perhaps as his own little flock had
been girls, he continued to choose
his playfellows from the quieter sex
when the years had robbed his home
Of its treasures. Wherever he went
some bright faced little girl w&s
sure to attract him, and presently
you would see his silver hair and MS
