State May Complete Its Case In Moore Trial
Indications are the State will finish presenting direct evidence today in the case of Howard Moore on trial for first degree murder in the Nov 14 1933 shooting of Albert J Watson at Watsons store on King Street. Irving Waldt testified for nearly two and a half hours under cross examination by defense counsel Joseph E Walsh and will resume at 10 15 am today with possible redirect questioning by the district attorney. The courtroom crowd grew as Waldt described Moore saying he would “gen” Watson and his sighting of a revolver, though memory gaps and abrupt replies clouded some earlier testimony.
