MOORE ADMITS HE MURDERED AGED COUPLE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE J session, and he told the officials hep . did not steal any money from the home before fleeing after the kill-' ing. ! Moore, according to the story told Emshwi ler, took his uncle s automobile and drove toward Chi- ; cago, abandoning the automobile 'at East Chicago. He then boarded a bus and came io Tower. Minn., where he was to meet Anna Angus, formerly of East Chicago. She was taken into cus-, ;tody. but was released when it was j determined she was in Tower at j the time of the murder. Was Ordered Off Fann Moore t >ld the officials that after he had been ordered from his uncle's farm two weeks ago he went to Detroit, where his father ■ lives, but he returned to Hartford: City last Thursday. He did not go ito the farmhouse until late Friday , afternoon Moore, according to Prosecutor i Emshwiller, confessed serving a sentence at the Minnesota state re-' 'formatory at Red Wing for larceny, I nd at the Wisconsin state reformatory late in 1930 for burglary. Prosecutor Emshwiller said Moore asked to be excused from further questioning after he had (confessed the crime. The prose ’ cutor said he will questioned further Wednesday in an effort to determine if there was reason for the' 'slaying other than Ids being order-' ed from the home. Moore had denied any connection with the killing when question by local authorities. Expected Back Thursday I Hartford City. Nov. 16. —ln a telephone conversation with local authorities late Tuesday afternoon. Prosecutor James R. Emshwiller of Blackford county, who with Sheriff Ira Mannix went to Virginia, Minn., to question John E. Moore. 29. nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Moore, slain in their homo northeast of here Friday night, reported that young Moore had confessed the double murder about an hour after questioning of him began The confession came about 4:15 p. m_. Emshwiller said. The prosecutor announced that Moore had decided t;> waive extradition and that they will start back with him as quickly as possible, probably reaching Hartford City. Thursday. Announcement of the confession created little surprise here. Offi- p cials concerned with the case had privately expressed the belief that Moore was guilty in view of evi- p deuce found at the scene of the , crime, and it was believed that Moore would yield when confronted by the local prosecutor and sherif!, although he had maintained his innocence during questioning by Minnesota officials. The search for further evidence ** against the killer continued here throughout Tuesday. It was an- " nounced that fingerprint experts h fiom the state bureau of criminal e invetigation and identification had y found three sets of fingerprints about the house. Two sets corn's- y pond to those of' Mr. and Mrs. t Moore. The third, it* is believed, d will prove to be young Moore's. 1, ; Officials were awHiing a record . :1 young Moore's fingerprints from y one of the three penal institutions 1 in which he has served terms. <- Although the prosecutor said in his telephone conversation that t young Moore declared he did not a know why ho killed his uncle and a aunt, a robbery motive combined r with revenge appealed like >n the f, —— |

PACIFIC coast football has al- | ways produced a host of can- j didates for the mythical “all” elevens in the past, and this year : is no exception Let’s look over just a few of the likely All-Ameri-can prospect* who hail from that sector Stanford puts forth a couple of candidates in Caddel and Corbus. Ernie Caddel is a versatile half I back who has been called the outstanding ball carrier on the Pacific Coast. Bill "Habeas” Corbus is the star linesman of the Stanford outfit, and is said to be a truly great guard. Re lias been boomed from early in the season as an All-American prospect. For two years he has s-ood out like a sore thumb in the Stanford line and starred in almost every game of hi. .-arccr No All-

light of latest developments. A close search of the home Tuesday reveahd that a tin box found in a closet had been broken open. It is thought that this box contained money, since the elder Moore is known to have kept considerable cash about the house Young Moore apparently was in a revengeful mood because ton days before the murders his uncle had ordered him to leave the farm, where he had been making his home for some time, because the elder Moore had learned of the young man's criminal record. The young man's father. Ray Moore, of Detroit. Mich., brother of the s ain man. came here yesterday and. weeping as he discussed Ids hr ither's murder, said he "feared his son might be guilty." John Moore had gone to his father's home ..»r a week after being ord eted from the Charles Moore firm. Two men who supposedly came to this city from Fort Wayne on a freight train with young Moore are being held as material witnesses. They are Morris Finch, 50 of Radnor. O„ and W. F. Moore. Bay City, Mi. li. The latter says he is no relation to the murdered man. These men said tliey met a man who answers John Moore's lieucriip-. tlun in Fort Wayne and he told them he was going to the home of an unde and that he had some money and an automobile at Penn-‘ ville which he was going to get. Bury Victims Today Mr. and Mrs. Moore were found murdered in their home Saturday morning by a milk col ector who went to the rear door to ask why only one can of milk had been put out instead of two. He found the elder Moore's body on the kitchen flour just inside the door. On the floor of the dining room was the body of Mrs. Moor-. Authorities were called immediately and a search for John Moore, on whom suspicion was turned immediately, was started. The house had been thoroughly ransacked, drawers being emptied ?nd furniture pushed about. Gone from the home was a repeating shotgun. The Moore’s automobile had been stolen from the garage, which was locked by the thief.

American selector can afford to i overlook Mr. Corbus when deciding ■ > on the guard positions. Southern California’s leading All American candidate, Orville .Mohler, saw his "ail” chances go glimmering when injuries sustained in the Stanford game ended his football career several weeks ago. Mohler was a certain AllAmerican, so it was a terrific blow to see his bid for glory fail because of an unfortunate injury The Trojans have several other likely candidates for the mythical team, however. Three Trojan linesmen — Ernie Smith and “Tay” Brown, tackles, and Aaron “Rosy” Rosenberg, guard—rate with the best in the country. Smith especially has featured Southern California line play in several games this year, smashing plays right and

There was evidence that the killer was well acquainted with the place, i Police immediately began a round- ■ up of transients. AU but the two j who seemed to have met young Moore were freed. Double funeral services for the murdered couple will lie held at be d at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Friends church at Pennville. Burial will be in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Pennville. — ——o HOOVER BACK IN WASHINGTON rnvnxtTP from page one i lie week-end in preparation for ills White House conference with Roosevelt, scheduled tentatively or the first of next week. There was some disposition mong administration quarters to believe the European gesture led by I.ritain and France was nart of a united European front against further payment of wat debts to •he American government until thejr demands for downward revision were met satisfactorily to hem. Signs of tills unity of action on ♦he other side of the Atlantic wore seen in the similarity of notes from various debtor nations and tiie threat of lefau t on other payments due between now and the end of the year. The president was believed therefore lo feel no time should be lost on | this end in uniting on a plan of action here. The president's attitude all through the delicate war debts problem has been that the American government again would have to cut its cloth of collections to the pattern of the al’lity' to pay of the debtor countries. There Is no reason to believe he , ba undergone a change of heart. , although he reiterates still that ; be remains opposed to further re- ■ dm t'on or cancellation of war , debts. Nevertheless, he is convinced some change in the method of collection will have to be reached to meet changed conditions and n: event the complete collapse of foreign markets on which Amerl-, | can factories and farmers depend. |

left, and rushing kickers and pass ers with a vengeance. Rosenberg was handicapped by illness this season, which prevented him from getting into several early season games, but getting back into harness for the game with Stanford, he played one of the finest games of his career only one week out of a sickbed. His play in the guard position is a revelation when he is "right ” Other outstanding coast prospects whom Ail-American experts should not forget include Mike Mikulak of Oregon and Joe Keeble of U. C. L. A., two great fullbacks; “Diamond Joe” Paglia of Santa Clara, Hal Moe of Oregon State and Baird of St. Mary’s—all fine backfield men. And there are lots of others!

This change he desires to discuss with Governor Roosevelt, with whom he will go over his own ideas and plans for the best way out for this country. Mr. Hoover is willing to assume full responsibility for flic- acts of his adiiihilsi i niloii. even during the interim before March 4. it was understood, but acted in an effort to mov° along lines approved by his successor rather than taking arbitrary action on his own opinions only to have his policies blocked by the Democratic house end the whole American altitude he'd up while Europe moves in unity. The president may be expected to have a concrete plan for consideration at his parley with R-io-. veil, including a temporary continuation of the moratorium, although possibly -under a different nn mo. However, it was believed Mr. Hoover at the conference would prefer to outline the case as it now confronts the government and permit Governor Roosevelt i'id his advisors to dictate Amer loan policy from now on. The moratorium has met with strong opposition In certain quarters. and the congress is particuivr'v opuosod to extending or renewing it, Hit one thing seems certain, namely, that most of the December payments will not be met and the government under one guise or another will have to recognize that pravlical fact and meet rather than force out-and-.out defaults at this crucial time. 0 Flier Forced Down Lc dew, Nov. 16 —(UP) — Mrs. Amy Johnson Mollison.
