One year has elapsed since Charles
w. Moore disappeared from his home
IN Sandy Hook, December 9, 1924,
and no trace of him has been found
Many stories were told by residents
as to the cause of the mans disap-
pearance, but most of them were de-
MED by his mother. One of them
was to the effect that he had incurred
the enemity of moonshine band and
that members of that organization
had killed him. This was denied by
his mother. Some residents claim
that Moore is living in West Virginia,
and for reasons of his own will not
return to Sandy Hook. Most people
discount this story because of the
frantic appeals for him to return sent
to West Virginia by his mother.
