Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, July 29, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 30 Recalls Heinous Crime Sheriff Samuel Lenhart on Monday removed to the state asylum for the insane at Polk, Venango county, Mrs. Bridget Moore, aged about 66 years, who had been a patient at the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, since June 29, at which time she fell down a flight of steps at her home on Prospect and injured herself severely. Mrs. Moore has been insane for some years past. A commission composed of Dr. J. L. Sagerson, Chas. Coyle and Wallace Paul examined her recently and recommended her removal to the asylum. The husband of Mrs. Moore or the man supposed to be her husband was Michael Moore, who was hanged in Cambria county in 1872 for the murder of a woman supposed to be a former wife. The crime was committed at Mineral Point and was one of the most brutal ever perpetrated in Pennsylvania. Moore was convicted and hanged by Sheriff Bonacker. It is not known whether his wife or the woman taken to Polk had anything at all to do with it, but it is possible that her mind became affected as a result of brooding over her husband’s deed. _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008
