Burlington (IA) Weekly Hawk-Eye, April 8, 1875, p. 5. NOTE: According to my research, one of the men convicted of murdering John Moore was Cornelius "Crook" Mershon. CRIMES At Bloomington, Indiana, it has been confessed by a deserted wife of a man of that town that her husband and four others, including a saloonkeeper of that place, some three years ago murdered a man named John Moore who went there from Bloomington, Ill., and has never been heard of since. Moore had about $2,000 with him when he arrived at Bloomington, Indiana. Three of the men were arrested in the latter place and one in Douglass County, Ill. The sheriff of Monroe County, Indiana, has gone to Arkansas after the fifth.
