Experts Testify On Moore Sanity In Vincennes Trial
In Vincennes Indiana on December 5 experts testified on Menlon Moore sanity at the time of the shooting of Charles Edward Gibson, the millionaire opera sponsor. A 5000 word hypothetical question framed the expert inquiry while Drs examined Moore’s mental state and past life. Father Arnold Padgett testified tearfully about his daughter Annie Moore and the confession Gibson pressed on her. Mrs Moore sobbed as Moore faced the witness stand and described the family’s heartbreak. The sermon at St Xavier’s Cathedral echoed the sixth commandment and many locals expect a hung jury with sentiment favoring Moore’s act. Witnesses noted Moore’s coolness toward his wife after the tragedy.
