Moore accompanied Focher to the Auditorium the evening he was shot and killed. Coronor Monfort, left, addresses Moore, sitting beside him on the witness stand, before an attentive jury. This photograph is likely related to the article, "Killing Held Justifiable," Los Angeles Times, 16 Jul 1935: A1. Text from negative sleeve: 1217 -- John G. Moore mistake killing [stamped:] JUL 22 1935 Handwritten on negative: John G. Moore on stand
