People and incidents
Spencer Moses (1945)
Paraphrased court brief
A Burlington County grand jury indicted Philadelphia resident Spencer Moses for the killing of fellow farmworker James Maxwell.
Indictment
The clipping says Moses, of Philadelphia, and James Maxwell, of Burlington, both worked on a farm in Mount Laurel Township. Police alleged that an argument ended with Moses stabbing Maxwell to death with a file. A grand jury indicted Moses for murder. The excerpt records an accusation and indictment, not a conviction, and supplies no date of death, farm name, trial, or disposition.
