MOOS MOOS
Moos. Moos, an Indian, and a companion went to the cabin of James
"Scobe®, Jimmy" Corrigle, an elderly white man: who owned a small farm
on Blue Creek about 12 miles east of Walla Walla, Washe, on the night
of November 10, 1873, and requested permission to stay there over-
night, At fee Coeriele refused, but he finally relented and allowed
the Indians to spend the night, However, the next day, he told them
that they could stay no longer and they departed, That afternoon,
Corrigle told some friends about his visitors, relating that he had
ordered them to leave, That evening, Moos Moos was seen walking alone
inthe direction of Corrigle's farm, and the next morning, when a neigh-~
bor stopped by the cabin, he found Corrigle dead in bed, Corrigle
was lying on his left side with his right hand across his breast,
An axe had been imbedded in his skull with such force that it was re~
moved from the body with difficulty at the coroner's inquest, Because
of the position in which the corpse was lying, it was surmised that he
had been killed while sleeping. Asearch of the cabin showed that,
among other things, a silver watch and some blankets were missing and
a check in Walla Walla uncovered the watch which a man stated he had
purchased from Moos Moos, Enough circumstantial evidence was gathered
