Los Angeles, California, August 6th, 1924.

Kid McCoy, former prize fighter and man of many marriages, yesterday was entangled in another domestic row

according to Hollywood police. The police became aware of this, officers Buesiger and Campbell say,

when they were called to the residents of Albert J. Moore's 6835 iris circle, Hollywood, late Monday night. When they arrived there,

they reported they found Mr. and Mrs. Moores engaged in a heated argument. Moors was accompanied

by several friends, and Kid McCoy was cast in the role of protector of Teresa Moores. Albert Moores wanted his wife arrested for assault and battery, claiming that she had struck

him in the mouth. The officers tried to quiet the couple, they said, but in spite of their efforts,

the arguments continued. It developed, police learned, that Mr. and Mrs. Moors have been contemplating a separation

for some time. Mrs. Moors had been away from home. She returned, accompanied by Kid McCoy,

and found her husband in the house with a man and a woman. The strife that followed, it is

charged, reached the point of blows, and Moore's finally called the police.

The prize fighter told the policeman that he had accompanied Mrs. Moore's at her request to protect her from her husband.

Moors handed the officers a small revolver with the statement that he was afraid he would shoot him with it.

While the others were present, the husband bitterly rebuked his wife for being with Kid

McCoy and asked her what she thought the neighbors would think.

I don't care what they think, the wife is said to have responded as she openly declared

her attraction for the former prize fighter. Officers

Buseger and Campbell advised Moors to get a complaint from the city attorney's office if he

wanted to prosecute his wife. The argument ended when Moors and his party left the house,

leaving Mrs. Moores and her asserted protector within.

Albert Moores is said to be wealthy and has an interest in an antique shop at 2228 West 7th Street.
