 Out on Bail After Pre- liminary Hearing
By A.s.,i.tsa Pres.

Knoxville. Tenn, September l2. Maude Moore. charged with shooting l LeRoy Harth to death last Monday ! night. was held to court under bond of $10,000 Friday afternoon after q preliminary hearing which lasted ! through the better part of two days. Martin Hunter. arrested Wednesday as accessory to the murder was bound to court under bond of s5,00o. Miss Moore readily made the assess ed bond, H. l.. Brady. P. D. Doyle. L. Reagan, signing as securities. Hunter had not made bond up to late hour tonight, though friends say that they hope to have secured his release by Saturday. He is now held in the county jail, while Miss Moore, accom- panied by her mother, Mrs. Minnie Moore. went to their home after the completion of the hearings.
 The defendant, Miss Maude Moore, went on the stand at 1:40 o'clock, a little more than half an hour after the afternoon session of court had begun The young woman remained on the stand an hour, and during that time her answers were clear, well worded, and questions were aptly answered after cool thinking.
 But as she arose from the witness chair, mmediately after General w. T. Kennerly had completed a vigorous cross examination. her strength seemed to give way, her face blanched and she fell headlong almost into the lap of her mother, who was sitting near the desk of the defending attorney, Hal H. Gle ments. Because of the crowds which gathered around her, and the poor ven- tilation of the court room, it was sev- eral minutes before she regained con sciousness, and almost two hours before she had sufficiently regained strength to sit upright. Proceedings were halt ed for fifteen or twenty minutes.
 SYMPATHY WITH GIRL
 The afternoon hearing was replete with dramatic moments, to the extent that the crowd seemed subdued by the tragedy in the lives of the litigants. On two different occasions, however. the crowd burst forth with shouts of applause. which deputy sheriffs were unable to restrain at several different times, during the testimony and dur ing the argument of prosecuting at torneys. misses were heard. Sympathy of the 300 men in the courtroom was plainly with the defendant
 Captain R. A. McMillan, brother-in- law of LeRoy Harth, and a world war veteran, the last witness to testify. and offered by the prosecution in rebuttal, was plainly affected. Beads of per spiration appeared over his entire face, and he was extremely nervous. He de- clared that he wanted to see Maude Moore convicted.'
 The witness, plainly agitated against the defendant. was asked by MT. Glenn ents if he knew the deceased well. Mo- Milan answered in the affirmative.
 You are prejudiced against this woman too?" Mir Clements asked.
 q am," McMillan answered. snapping his answer out.
 Like to see her convicted?" asked MT. Clements.
 q certainly would" answered Mo Milan with considerable positiveness.
 Just as soon fight me as not?" MT. Clements stated.
 McMillan. eyes flashing. and grip ging the sides of the chair in which he was sitting replied that I'd just as soon fight you as to look at you"
 As McMillan left the stand he was hissed, despite efforts of deputies to bring immediate order.
 Miss Moore's testimony was along the lines of her published statement that she was attacked by Harth and shot him during a struggle.
