Description: Unidentified detective may by Verne Miller, who was McGlinchey's partner in 1936.
John Moore identified as both John S. Moore and John G. Moore in articles.
William Focher was accidentally shot and killed by police after he was misidentified as an armed robber holding up the Olympic Auditorium. John S. Moore was with him at the time and arrested for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
Photograph is related to and taken on the same night as photographs in "Error Death to Be Aired," Los Angeles Times, 12 Jul 1935: A1.
John S. Moore stands looking at the camera wearing a letterman sweater and an untied bowtie and with a cigarette in his mouth. Detective Lieutenant F. L. McGlinchey is reading something out loud in a book he is holding. He wears a plaid tie and a visor, has a checkered handkerchief, and striped pants. An unidentified man, probably another police detective, wears a brimmed hat with a thin band pulled down over his face and is writing something on a notepad.
