SUICIDE NAMED
SLAYER OF
MOORE

EAST ORANGE, N. j., June
II G.N.SO.-Closing his investi'
cation into the murder of Daniel
McFarlan Moore, Police Chief
Christian N. Dell today an
nounced that the murdered mans
daughter had positively identi-
fled" the body of Jean Philip
Gebhardt, a suicide, as that OF
the man who tried unsuccessfully
to see her father Sunday night.
Miss Beatrice Moore, daughter
Of the victim, whow as found
shot to deah on he rear lawn
Of his home Monday, made the
Identification at the Red Bank
funeral, where Gebhardts body
was taken after he fired bullet
into his brain yesterday.
Chief Dell said "the case is
solved, and added that Prosecutor
william Wachenfeld agreed with
him that Gebhardt had been the
man they we're seeking.
Brother Agrees
Gebhardt's brother, Harrison W.
Gebhardt, a New York attorney,
after studying the evidence, sadly
agreed with Chief Dell. He said:
"There doesn't seem to be
much doubt that my brother
did it. He was insane. If 1 had
realized his condition, l would
have had him confined"
The attorney declared his
brother, who died in hospital
at Red Bank without regainlng
consciousness, had been placed IN
the State hospital at Middletown,
N. Y, for observation of his
mental condition in 1924, but was
discharged a year later.
Gebhardt had been missing from
his home in Staten Island since
Sunday and his unexpected sui
eide as police sought to question
him, came about through the sus-
picions of persons whom he had
approached in Middleaown.
Fitted Description
Mrs. Harold Jones, wife OF a
special policeman at Middletown,
said Gebhardt came out OF the
woods near her home and asked
to see a newspaper. Mrs. Jones
thought the mysterious stranger
fitted the description of the tall.
thin man" who had called at
Moore's house the night before he
was shot. She told her husband
about the man. Jones informed
Police Chief Hoyer, of Middle
town, and a posse was organized
to hunt for him.
They found Gehhardt's camp in
the woods about a quarter of a
mile off the highway. Gebhardt
had driven his car through thick
underbrush.
AS the posse approached, Geb-
hardt grabbed a 20 rifle from the
car and started to run. After run
ming only a short distance he
placed the muzzle of the gun
against his temple and fired.
It was through the gun, with
which Gebhardt shot himself, that
police first linked him definitely
with the Moore murder. It was
the same calibre as that used by
the inventors slayer.

COMMITTEE TO GO
TO JACKSONVILLE
ON LABOR issue
MEMBER OF WORKMEN'S
UNIT REPORTS MUCH PROG
RESS IN SOLICITING FUNDS
TO BE USED FOR EXPENSES

Clarence Higgs, member of the
workers committee appointed to
solicit subscriptions from the
merchants to assist in providing
transportation of a committee to
be sent to Jacksonville to discuss
labor matters with Conrad Van
Hyning, Florida ERA administra-
tor, has met with appreciate sue
cess.
Il feel it incumbent upon me
to express my gratitude to the
merchants and business men whom
l approached on the matter of as
sisting us in this matter which is
of vital Importance at this time"
said Mr.. Higgs.
while l have not been able to
contact everybody whom we ex-
pect to respond to our request
for assistance in sending the COM
mittee to Jacksonville, those whom
l have approached have very
handsomely contributed and /
feel that others will be equally as
generous when they are given an
explanation of what we hope to
achieve.
This movement was first started
Wednesday evening at a meeting
of county commissioners when
the committee stated their griev-
ances and it was agreed to ask
Representative B. c. Papy go to
Jacksonville in behalf of the
workers and, possibly, two mem
bers. Ralph Russell and Urban
Bethel accompany him.
In the event it is not found
necessary to send the committee
to Jacksonville, contributions are
to be promptly returned to those
who gave.
