#MittieMoore | “Guilt Not Proven” Roswell Daily Record November 1, 1917
Guilt Not Proven. | Not proven was the result of the city against Mittie Moore in Judge Parsons court this afternoon. As an evidence of what City Attorney John E. Clayton and the police force is up against this case is a good example. Sunday night at the home of Mittie Moore, a dive on South Virginia two pistol shots were fired. This morning the city attorney and cheif-of-police visited Hampton Lee, a negro in the emply of the Elks Saloon. Lee stated that Mittie had fired two shots at one John Wilson, that both shots passed through Wilson’s coat and that he stood by and watched Wilson take the gun away from Mittie. This afternoon when placed on teh witness stand he denied all these facts, saying that he was blocks away when the shooting accurred. So it is that Mittie is free again.
