accused of being dumb In June of 190 he fired Mcl Powers and had him removed from his home in Houston Harsh wards were exchanged between Mossler and Powers Because of the convenience and mounting

detail from the witness stand and caused the courtroom to hum The underlying motive of the whole crime was attributed to sex The defence led by famed lawyer Percy Foreman of Texas tried to establish that there were scores of men who for business reasons wanted Mossler out of the way The defense also made light of the affair between andy and Powers proving that in many iii stances andys children
