Says liir Lawyer aid Others

REFUSES TO TALK.
}4aa Said Recently the Cou’d
Not Live JVith Moore.
A
New York, N >v. 9.—“ Mrs.
Moore is more sinned against
than pinning,” said Lawyer
Abraham Levy last night. “This
I will show to the entire satis
faction of the court and the
publie at the examination next
Friday. In all my experience of
twenty years as a criminal law
yer, I have never had a client of
whosa innocence I was more
thorougly convinced.”
It seems likely that an attempt
will be made to show that Wil
liam A. E. Moore alone is guilty
es the robbery for which he and
his wife were indicted yesterday
by a grand jury.
A circumstance strongly in the
woman’s favor it the fact that
she recently called at po’ice
headquarters and telling Capt.
McClusky that she could no
longer live with her husband,
asked how a separation could
be the most easily affected.
When tho two were arrested
and taken to headquarters no
word was passed between them.
In court yesterday neither no
ticed the other. That there has
been an estrangement between
them is evident.
I called at the Tombs last
evening to see Mrs. Moore, but
she declined to see any reporters,
upon the advice of her lawyer.
The matron told me Mrs. Moore
was the most beautiful and the
best bred piisoner that has occu
pied the famous old Tombs in
tweaty years.
“That girl is no criminal,
•aid the kind hearted matron.
Warren Leland, Jr., proprie
tor of the Grenoble, where the
alleged “Badger game” was
“worked,” said:
, “There must be some mistake.
That woman is no crook! They 11
never get a jury to convict her!
Martin Mahon, the alleged
victim, was seen last night. He
told his story in a disconnected
manner and wanted mueh of it
•oppressed. He admitted having
bought wine at his own sugges
tion at both the Metropole and
Grenoble hotels for Mrs. Moore
on the day of the alleged rob
bery. Mahon is a middle aged
married man and very wealthy.
He was drinking heavily last
night.
Moore, the husband, will
doubtless have a bard time ol
it. He was indicted for assault
with intent to murder as well as
for robbery. On account of the
beauty of the woman and the
extraordinary circumstances
surrounding the affair, the New
York papers are “spreading
the story. It is second only i >
the papers to the election.
Mrs. Moore spoke feelingly to
the matron of the Tombs about
her mother. She seems to feel
her position more «u account of
h«r than herself.

Havana, via Key West Fla., Nov.
9. —Following is a strong arraign
ment of Presid’nt McKinley’s pre
sent policy in Cuba, spoken by a
representative Cuba» merchant of
Havana:
“First we were told that the
date of occupation would be Nov.
17 then Lecember was fixed upon.
Sj far as evacuation is concerned.
January 1 is named, but now it is
rumored that February 1 has been
agreed upon, Unless the Washing
ton Government forces its lethar
gic Commissioners into greater
activity. Cuba will be an immens*
graveyard and its fields barren be
fore the United States takes pos
session. Entire villages are dying
of stravation, Ou all sides the
Spaniards robbing and plundering.
In the meantime these sage, gos
siping Commissioners from the
United States sit sipping cool
drinks by day atd seeking shelter
by night with mortal dread of
fever, yet absolutely impervious
to the demands of humanity,
“Thus far, the United States
has sent in the name of humanity
a mere pittance of a million ra
tions, and the Red Cross has sent
tw« c*vgoe», whose distribu
tion and disposal there have been
many unfavorable comments
“While the blockade was on,
the city was ruled with an iron
band, and cases if assault and
robbery were aimost unknown.
Today, with the release of crimi
nals and the increase of poverty,
the list of murders and hold-ups
is a very giave matter. There are
thousands of discharged Spanish
soldiers without means of support.
Roys and young girls of genteel
extraction have been thrown ou
the streets, to begin their lives as
beggars or thieves and to bring up
in jails and houses of ill-fame. Do
the people of the United States
realise these thinzs?”
