Note 2 — CASE OF WILLIAM KIDD. (continued 2)
Reading edition
See doc. no. 87, note 3. Captain Kidd, says the record of the trial (State Trials, V. 290), called Moore "a lousy dog". "Says William Moore, 'If I am a lousy dog, you have made me so; you have brought me to ruin, and many more'. Upon his saying this, says Captain Kid, 'Have I ruined you, ye dog?' and took a bucket bound with iron hoops and struck him on the right side of the head, of which he died next day."
