The men In question ran xwsy
immediately after they were supposed
to have fired at More and they have
not been apprehended. Walker has
a rather shady reputation, having
been in the tolls OF the police several

Moore was sitting in Wa1lter-s
house at the time that WALKER and
"Blaclrfe~ began q quarrel outside
Moore pulled q gun on them with
the idea of making them their
argument. 1t was q bad course for
the man to take for. according to
reports. both men turned on him
and began nring. A bullet entered
the right shoulder OF the mediator
and penetrated the spinal column
As a result OF the wound which
Moore received he Is paralyzed at
the present time and is unable to
talk. DR.. n. r. Lathrop considers
his condition extremely serious and
holds out very little hope for him.
