feet in the basement as of somebody in
his house slippers and finally somebody
knocked on the door. She cracked
the door open and saw Moody, whom
she had never seen before to know him,
she said, standing there in his bathrobe.
The bathrobe was open, the girl de-
clared and Moody's chest was out.
The girl screamed and shut the door
and locked it. Moody continued to
knock. Seeing her brother through the
window approaching the house, Rosie
called him to help her. Connors raped
on the door but Moody refused to open
it, telling him with an oath, that no.
body was going to get in that house.
Connors then ran into the barber
shop next door and asked for help, say
ing there was burglar in the house
with his sister. Failing to get help
there, he went to butcher shop and
asked for a cIeaver or something to
break the door down and rescue his
sister. The butcher told linn to return
t. the house and promised to get the
police for him.
Officers Overtake Him
AS CCnnors was on his way back to
the house, he was overtaken by Off
GERS Olivier and Morgan who asked
him his trouble. He told them and
they went to the house. Rosie could
be heard screaming for help. She could
not make her exit through the window
because there we're iron bars in front
of it.
Morgan was sent around to the rear
of the house and Olivier and ConnorS
tried to get in the front basement door
Rosie called that she couldn't open
the door and Moody shouted again that
nobody was going to get into the house
Officer Olivier shouted that he was a
police officer and commanded Moody
to open, but still Moody refused. The
officer then kicked in the door and en-
tered the basement.
The interior of the basement was
dark. Olivier declared that he had
hardly got inside when he felt the
blow from the shovel on his side. He
called to Moody again that he was
police officer but Moody continued tc
attack him. Olivier then fired one
shot into his abdomen. Moody ran to-
ward the rear of the basement and
then collapsed.
Moody Intoxicated
From this testimony the defense
contended that Moody, while under the
influence of liquor, had attempted to
force his way in Rosie ConnorS' room
to attack her and that Olivier had shot
him while in pursuance of his duty tc
rescue the girl at the request OF he1
brother. Through the testimony OF Mrs
Blair they sought to show that Moody
did not live on the premises and that
he was seldom around there. Mrs
Blair admitted that she rented from
Moody but said that a man named
Washington, who lived on the premises
was agent of the place and collected
the rents. She denied that Moody hac
been given any privileges or that he
was on the place often.
That Moody had been drinking at thu
time was established by Officer Burke
of The Third District wagon. Officer
Burke was one of those who took thu
injured man to the hospital. He sale
that Moody Smelled strongly Of Hquo
q the time. This was not denied b,
the state. The defense contended tina
since Moody was intoxicated, since tn
girl. resident Of the premises, scream
ing for help and since the officer brok'
the door down at the request OF thu
girls brother the entry was not I'M
lawful and the shooting after Mood.
made the attack with the shovel wa
justified.
