and even with her own servants.
In an ante-mortem statement
Moore deposed that he was wait
ing for his wife and the chauf-
feur; that the car stopped in the
middle of the road and Mrs. Moore
got out of the machine.

swore. Then he jumped out and
ran away. l fired at him twice
more. He hid behind a tree.
Then he fired at me and hit me. -

deny she was in the car when the
shooting began.
Mrs. Moore's picture was found
on Timothy, and another photo

LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. 29.-
Placing women and children at
the head of the line, and under
the protection of American flags,
$1,000 strikers sang the Marsel-
]aise here today as they paraded
in zero weather here as a protest
against the action of the opera
tors of the textile mills in refus-
ing to negotiate with their work
men.
Rioting was caused when a mo-
torman forced a car bearing
strike-breakers through the pro-
cession, knocking down women
and children. The male element
of the strikers attacked the car.
Before the police could interfere,
the windows of six trolley cars
had been smashed and the occu-
pants forcibly elected.
With the arrival of the police
seven of the strikers were arrest
ed.
Despite the fact that a captain
of the militia received an injury
to his face from flying glass, he
did not order the soldiers to in
terfere, the troops confining their
efforts to guarding the bridges
leading to the mills.
