Moore execution date set for July 26 in Mo. gas chamber
A Missouri Supreme Court ruling sets the date for Thomas Exwin Moore to be executed July 26 for the 1955 murder of his wife Opairene Moore in Jackson County. Testimony from the couple’s three children helped convict Moore, who claimed he shot himself during the incident. The case details describe Moore’s violent confrontation, the weapon seizure, and the family’s testimony. The decision notes Moore’s statements and the court’s acceptance of police photos as corroborating evidence. Governor Blair can commute the sentence, but absent action, the execution proceeds.
