■jSiltyJH YEAR smoke a “Bill Arp ’ warters New Bran d JIBS. MOORE fIIJT fl BROOK A ~ Says liir Lawyer aid Others of New York. 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. x Morton Smith.

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.
