Mrs. MOORE. No; I was not included in any of the invitations. I owned the house and had rented the house to some people, and had rented a room in the house. I went directly to my room, but could see this party in session.

Mr. FOSTER. Were you ever invited to any of these parties in your house?

Mrs. MOORE. No; I was not; I was not included in those parties. Mr. FOSTER. You were not offended because you were not invited? Mrs. MOORE. I was not at all pleased with their conduct that one night; but, for certain reasons, I decided not to say anything, and I did not say anything until they adjourned and they left.

Mr. FOSTER. Had you had a similar party before that?

Mrs. MOORE. No.

Mr. FOSTER. None since?

Mrs. MOORE. They had been having parties before that, but that was the only party I had ever seen Judge Baker.

Mr. FOSTER. Had you had other parties there where any of them became drunk?

Mrs. MOORE. Oh, several times; different times, yes.

Mr. FOSTER. Both before and since?

Mrs. MOORE. Before and after that.

Mr. FOSTER. That is the only time you saw Judge Baker?

Mrs. MOORE. That was the only time.

Mr. FOSTER. And you think this is the man?

Mrs. MOORE. This is the same man I saw that night.

Mr. FOSTER. You would not say he was drunk?

Mrs. MOORE. No; I could not say, because I did not see him drink. Of course, he looked to me like a man who had had something to drink. As to whether he had, I could not vouch, because I did not see him drink.

Mr. FOSTER. You never had seen him before?

Mrs. MOORE. I never had seen him before; no.

Mr. FOSTER. He helped to take care of those who were drunk? Mrs. MOORE. Well, he looked like he was interested in them. Mr. DYER. Where did they get the liquor they had there; do you know?

Mrs. MOORE. As to that, I could not say. They brought it in; some of them brought it in with them. They usually had something, and I saw a package in the house the next morning addressed to Captain Sperry. Whether he brought it there or not, I do not know, but it was addressed to him at New York.

Mr. CONIFF. You have lived in Clarksburg, you say, 35 years? Mrs. MOORE. Well, that or near about that long; yes; practically all my life.

Mr. CONIFF. Are you married?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes, sir.

Mr. CONIFF. Are you living with your husband?

Mrs. MOORE. No, sir.

Mr. CONIFF. How long has it been since you lived with him?
Mrs. MOORE. I have been divorced about eight or nine years.

Mr. CONIFF. And you own this property?

Mrs. MOORE. I own this property.

Mr. CONIFF. In what part of Clarksburg?

Mrs. MOORE. Out at the Clarksburg Country Club.

Mr. CONIFF. How near the club?

Mrs. MOORE. Right at the club grounds.

Mr. CONIFF. You say you were employed at the club?
Mrs. MOORE. I was employed at the club; yes.

Mr. CONIFF. What were you doing there?

Mrs. MOORE. Well, I helped run the club; helped to do the serving and look after entertainments.

Mr. CONIFF. Do you have any family?

Mrs. MOORE. I have two children.

Mr. CONIFF. Where were they?

Mrs. MOORE. One of my daughters is married and lives in Clarksburg and my son is in Baltimore.

Mr. CONIFF. Is your husband dead?

Mrs. MOORE. No; living.

Mr. CONIFF. You were divorced?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. You say this occurred in September, 1923?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. Did anybody tell you that Judge Baker does not hold any court in Clarksburg in the month of September at any time? Do you know that to be true?

Mrs. MOORE. I do not know anything about that.

Mr. CONIFF. He was not holding court there to your knowledge, was he?

Mrs. MOORE. I do not know whether he was holding court there or not. I was under the impression court was in session.

Mr. CONIFF. Let me tell you he does not hold court there in any year in September, and was not holding court there in September, 1923. Now, what have you to say?

Mrs. MOORE. I think he was there, because the fair was in session. Mr. CONIFF. Who told you he was there?

Mrs. MOORE. He was there with this same crowd.

Mr. BROWN. I hope you will be fair with the witness. As a matter of fact, Judge Baker does hold court in Clarksburg in September. There is a regular term there.

Mr. CONIFF. I understand his term there is in October, Judge, according to the regular schedule. If I am mistaken

Judge BAKER. The first Tuesday in October is the Clarksburg

term.

Mrs. MOORE. I would not vouch for that.

Mr. CONIFF. Did anybody tell you the judge was holding a term there at that time?

Mrs. MOORE. I don't know any one specially told me. I usually know about those things going on. I was under the impression court was in session.

Mr. CONIFF. Whom have you talked to about this?

Mrs. MOORE. Well, I don't know to any one specially.

Mr. CONIFF. I do not care whether it was specially. To whom have you talked about this matter?

Mrs. MOORE. About this affair, you mean?

Mr. CONIFF. Yes.

Mrs. MOORE. Well, I might have mentioned it to

Mr. CONIFF. Tell me to whom you did talk?

Mrs. MOORE. In Clarksburg?

Mr. CONIFF. Anywhere. Do you recognize anybody here? You know Judge Brown?

Mrs. MOORE. I do not see anybody here I have ever talked to. I never saw Judge Brown before.

Mr. CONIFF. The gentlemen next to him?

Mrs. MOORE. I never saw him before.

Mr. CONIFF. To whom have you talked?

Mrs. MOORE. People I don't suppose you would know, in Clarksburg, W. Va.

Mr. CONIFF. Name them; see if I do.

Mrs. MOORE. I never talked to any one in particular; just possibly

some women.

Mr. CONIFF. Tell me anybody.

Mrs. MOORE. I mentioned it to Mrs. A. K. Thorn, who had charge of the club with me. I may have talked to her about it; I may have talked to my son about it.

Mr. CONIFF. Did you?

Mrs. MOORE. I think so.

Mr. CONIFF. You say you may have done it. What is your son's name?

Mrs. MOORE. I don't know just what I did say about it.

Mr. CONIFF. Do you know how you came to get here as a witness? Mrs. MOORE. Yes; I think I do.

Mr. CONIFF. How did that happen?

Mrs. MOORE. I guess some one must have told somebody that was having the investigation I knew something about it.

Mr. CONIFF. When did you come here?"

Mrs. MOORE. I came here last night.

Mr. CONIFF. Have you talked to anybody since you came here about what you were going to say on the witness stand?

Mrs. MOORE. I did not.

Mr. CONIFF. Nobody has talked to you here?

Mrs. MOORE. Not here.

Mr. CONIFF. You mean these two gentlemen sitting over there [indicating] and nobody in this room has talked to you to ascertain what you would say on the witness stand since you came from Clarksburg?

Mrs. MOORE. I might have talked to Judge Brown's secretary— about the only person.

Mr. CONIFF. Mrs. Greer?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. You say you may have talked to her. You know you did, don't you? You did talk to her?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes; I talked to her.

Mr. CONIFF. When?

Mrs. MOORE. Well, I did not talk to her about this matter to-day.

Mr. CONIFF. When did you talk to her about this matter?

Mrs. MOORE. I might have discussed it to her last night.

Mr. CONIFF. There is not any "might" about it. You did talk her about it last night, didn't you?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. Where?

Mrs. MOORE. After I came to town.

Mr. CONIFF. Where did you meet her?
Mrs. MOORE. Do I have to tell that?
Mr. CONIFF. If you remember, you can.
Mrs. MOORE. Well, I met her on the street.

Mr. CONIFF. You talked to her on the street?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. Did she know you before you came down?
Mrs. MOORE. Oh, I have known Mrs. Greer for a long time.
Mr. CONIFF. How long have you known her?

Mrs. MOORE. I have known her for several years.

Mr. CONIFF. Is she a friend of yours?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. Do you associate together?

Mrs. MOORE. No; we don't associate together.

I have just a

friendly acquaintance with her, and just knew her by reputation and knew her by her family.

Mr. CONIFF. Last night, where did you talk to her?

Mrs. MOORE. I met her on the street and talked to her.

Mr. CONIFF. You talked to her on the street?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. You did not go anywhere to talk?

Mrs. MOORE. Oh, no.

Mr. CONIFF. What did you tell her about your testimony to-day? Mrs. MOORE. I don't know that I told her anything.

Mr. CONIFF. Did she ask you anything about it.

Mrs. MOORE. She just told me to state what I knew.

Mr. CONIFF. You stated what you knew?

Mrs. MOORE. She said to state what I knew, and I stated to-day what I knew.

Mr. CONIFF. Did you ever make a written statement of what you have testified here to-day?

Mrs. MOORE. No, sir.

Mr. CONIFF. You never made that?

Mrs. MOORE. No written statement.

Mr. CONIFF. Until you met Mrs. Greer last night she did not know what you knew, to your knowledge?

Mrs. MOORE. Did not know what I knew?

Mr. CONIFF. Yes.

Mrs. MOORE. She might have had some idea.

Mr. CONIFF. Did you meet her by appointment last night?

Mrs. MOORE. No, sir; not last night.

Mr. CONIFF. And the only person, now, to whom you have talked is Mrs. Greer?

Mrs. MOORE. That is all.

Mr. CONIFF. And she told you when you got on the witness stand to-day to tell what you knew?

Mrs. MOORE. That is all.

Mr. CONIFF. Did she tell you she knew what you knew?

Mrs. MOORE. No, sir.

Mr. CONIFF. Did she ask you to tell her what you knew?
Mrs. MOORE. No, sir.

Mr. CONIFF. Did anybody connected with this case. lawyer or ctherwise, ask you about the things you have told to-day?

Mrs. MOORE. I don't think so.

Mr. CONIFF. You never told any one, then, before you went on the witness stand, what you knew?

Mrs. MOORE. Nobody, except I may have talked to two or three women friends at Clarksburg.

Mr. CONIFF. To your son and some lady friends?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. Just name some of the people you saw when you got home that night about 9 o'clock.

Mrs. MOORE. Do you want me to do that?

Mr. CONIFF. Yes.

Mrs. MOORE. Do I have to do it?

Mr. CONIFF. Well, give me the men's names.

Mrs. MOORE. Well, Capt. M. J. Sperry; A. J. McDaniel, the coal man; Charles S. Dyson, brother of Ed Dyson, vice president of the Empire Bank; James Carter, and I would not say for sure, but I think C. E. Highland, of New Martinsburg. He was there so many times, I do not know whether he was there at that time, or a night following that.

Mr. CONIFF. I am speaking of that night now, Mrs. Moore. Just give us the names of those who were there that night.

Mrs. MOORE. There were that many there; those were there. Whether there was anybody else, now, I can not recall.

Mr. CONIFF. Was your son there?

Mrs. MOORE. No, sir.

Mr. FOSTER. Did she fix what date in September it was?

Mr. CONIFF. Can you fix the date in September, Mrs. Moore?

Mrs. MOORE. I can not do that; I do not remember the date.

Mr. CONIFF. You can not approximate the date?

Mrs. MOORE. No; I could not remember the date at all.

Mr. CONIFF. Was there anything in particular going on in Clarksburg?

Mrs. MOORE. It was during the fair.

Mr. CONIFF. The State fair?

Mrs. MOORE. The county or the State; I guess the State.

Mr. CONIFF. That usually lasts about a week?

Mrs. MOORE. Three or four days.

Mr. CONIFF. Three or four days?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. CONIFF. Do you remember what night of the fair it was? Mrs. MOORE. I couldn't say positively, but possibly along about Wednesday night-it seems to me it was Wednesday or Thursday night.

Mr. CONIFF. Of the fair week in September, 1923?

Mrs. MOORE. Yes.

Mr. SCHUCK. That is all.

Mr. BROWN. I would like to recall Mr. A. T. Barrett for just one question.

TESTIMONY OF MR. A. T. BARRETT-Recalled

Mr. BROWN. Mr. Barrett, can you state whether there was any special term of the court at Clarksburg in September, 1923? Mr. BARRETT. Yes, sir; also at Wheeling.
