STATE MURDER
John E. Moore ConfesseS
Killing Kin on Indiana
Farm, Official Says.
CAUGHT IN MINNESOTA
Doesn't Know Why He Slew
Pair, Prisoner Tells
Prosecutor.
By Tim es Special

By Times Special
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. 16
John E. Moore, %, killed Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles A. Moore, his wealthy
elderly uncle and aunt, but doesn't
know why he did it" according to
word received from Prosecutor
James r. Emshwiller, who is in
Virginia, MINI, questioning Moore.
Moore, who has waived extradi-
ton, was arrested at Tower, Mimi,
after he alighted from a bus from
Chicago. He probably will be re-
turned here Thursday by Prosecu-
tor EmShwiller and Sheriff Ira
Mannix to face first degree murder
charges.
Moore said, according to the pros
ecutor, he had been ordered from
his uncle's farm after the elder
Moore learned his nephew had
served terms in three reformatories.
The alleged killer said he went to
his fathers home in Detroit, but re-
turned to the Moore farm, near
Pennville, Friday afternoon.
Gets Shotgun in House
His aunt and his uncle were in the
barn when he arrived, Moore is said
to have told the authorities, so he
went into the house and obtained
.16 gauge shotgun.
When his aunt came into the
house, Moore is said to have con-
fessed, he opened fire on her and
then killed his uncle when the latter
came running into the house on
hearing the shots.
Moore said there was no quarrel
preceding the killings and denied he
took any money from the house be-
fore he fled. He did take his
relatives car, he said, abandoning it
near East Chicago and taking a
bus to Minnesota, where he met
Anne Angus, with whom he was
arrested. She was not held when
she was able to prove that she was
in Minnesota on the day of the
killings.
Denies, Then COnfesses
Moore at first denied stubbornly
he killed his aunt and his uncle,
but when confronted by the testi-
mony of witnesses that he had been
seen in Hartford City and near
Pennville, confessed the Sayings.
Two witnesses held here who
were instrumental in linking Moore
to the crime are Morris Finch, Sc,
Radnor, O., and w. F. Moore, As,
Bay City, Mich.
They told local officials they came
here from Ft. Wayne several days
ago with a young man whom they
met there, and whose description
tailed with. Moore's. He told them,
they said, that he was ION his way
to Pennville to get some money and
an automobile.
Young Moore's three reformatory
sentences were served for forgery,
larceny and burglary. His father,
Ray Moore, Detroit, arrived here
Monday to be with his son on his
return from Minnesota.
The father expressed the opinion,
prior to the confession, that I'm
afraid my sons guilty.

be done except by providing him
with work and an adequate wage.
If the manufacturer waits until
there is a demand for his goods
before he starts to manufacture, he
may have to wait until it is too late
to save the situation.
1T is obvious that the manufac-
turer must have a profit from the
sale of his goods to the retail trade.
and it IS equally obvious that the
retailer will not have a market I'M
less the people have money with
which to buy his goods.
We Can not have prosperity
again until the manufacturing
plants begin to operate"
Geist said that he outlined this
plan in letter to John j. Raskob,
following the Democratic victory
last week. He recommended this as
one Of three points making for re-
covery.
Others were repeal of the Eight
zenith amendment and imposition
of federal sales tax to balance the
budget. ~

Junction, O., where 7 joined the
keystone again, playing society
leads. And I've never been with
a Tom show since"
Lon Ramsdell, like Mr.. Walsh, a
circus advance man now, took up
the yarn.
Say, I bet I had about the last
Tom show to play in the middle
west,' he said. 1--WE called it the
Buckeye Uncle Tom show and we
opened it in Washington Court
House, O., under canvas.
Happy Bob Gennett was our
Uncle Tom and camp cook. We
made the mistake of going south,
and it seemed they had never for
gotten the Civil war.
They left us strictly alone, and
every town we left another sheriff
came along with us, to attach us
as soon as we made some money.
They got us in Charlottesville, Va.
I'll never forget" said Mr..
Ramsdell, I'VE were in Salisbury,
N. c., and the rain was pouring
through our leaky old top. The
Simon Legree stepped out in front
of the crowd between the acts
and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, allow
me to call your attention to our
pure-blooded champion blood
hound, for which we paid $4,000
Somebody yelled, Why don't you
sell him and buy a new tent?'"
Tom shows were like religion
to the old timers" added Mr..
Walsh. "They used to have a
speech they made at every per-
Torrance, where they said there
was only two perfect plays that
no critic could pick a fault in:
Uncle Toms Cabin and The
Two Orphans The people seemed
to agree with them, for they would
go to twenty Tom shows sum-
mer and think nothing of it,"
In the next article Mr.. LiebIing
will discuss minstrel shows.

Picture Traps Suspect


VIRGINIA, Mimi, Nov. 10
Authorities said today that John
Edward Moore, 20, had confessed
here that he killed his aunt and
uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. (Bert)
Moore on their farm near Hartford
City, Ind.
Suspicion was directed toward
Moore after finding of a picture of
girl near the bodies in the Indiana
farmhouse. The picture was said to
be that of Minnesota girl whom
Moore know.
Moore left Hartford City about
two weeks ago, but several witnesses
told Indiana authorities they saw
him there last Friday. His aunt
and uncle were found dead Satur-
day morning.
Authorities said Moore told them
his motive was robbery.

Walsh with the unaccustomed
blush of a circus publicity man.
my partner, Bob Demarest,
and I had been with the Key
stone dramatic company and the
season ended rather suddenly in
Fonda, N. Y.
1--WE wrote to three managers
who had ads in the Clipper and
got answers from all three, The
Pathflnders Company, Carrie S.
Burns Company-she. smoked
cigars and played the leading
male roles-and Mason & Downes'
Uncle Toms Cabin Company. We
didn't like Carrie and we tipped
a coin between the other two and
it came down Uncle Tom.
I'VE wrote to Downes for scripts,
and we got an answer on a post
card:-I take it from your letter
you never have played in Tom or
you would know the parts without
script. If so, please wire, as can
engage other people,
you see, Tom show people
were a class by themselves. They
played Tom all their lives and
they never mixed with repertoire
people, or minstrel people, or va
riety people, and, of course, pro-
duction people wouldn't even look
at them.
There were Simon Legrees, and
Toms and Marks the lawyers, and
Topsies, and practically the only
ones who ever changed their roles.
barring accidents in the company,
were the little Evas, who would
get too fat or too scrawny as they
grew up.
There were dozens of Tom
shows all over the country-play-
ing town halls or in tents-we
called those the ragtime Tom
shows, because the tents always
were in rags.

to see what it was like. So we
wired Downes:

He sent them, and in the lat
ter part of August we joined the
show at Mt. Vernon.
1--WE had bought book of the
play. It's in six acts. But when
we got there we found the show
was never played that way, and
we didn't know the cuts. Luckily
they never rehearsed or they
would have found us out.
