Andrew Jackson Moore
Who's Who in Arizona, page 587

Andrew Jackson Moore, the Chief of Police of Phoenix, is one of those
romantic figures that link the wild past with the staid and law-abiding
present.  Much of his life he has been connected wit with the department of
justice in this State and has been a dominant factor in seeing that the
laws were observed.  A self made man, he has steadily risen to his present
position entirely through his own efforts and abilities.

Chief Moore was born in Prescott in 1875.  His father was also named Andrew
Jackson Moore. His parents died when he was very young and he was thrown on
his own resources. In 1897 he first became a peace officer under Sheriff
Orme.  From May 1898 to August 1898 he was a packer in the service of the
US. government and was stationed at St. Louis. He then became sick and
rested until 1900.  In 1903 he was appointed a prison guard at the Arizona
pententiary.Then he entered the police dept. under Chief McKinney.  At that
time the department consisted only of Moore and his chief.  The dept. began
to grown and when it was expanded in 10906 Moore was made Chief.

In 1905 Moore through a brilliant piece of detective work, captured
Florentine Sanchos, who had murdered a man for 50 cents and was sentenced
to twenty years imprisonment.  He also captured Hernandez and his pal who
in 1905 robbed the Hammond Place of $700 worth of jewelry, which was found
in a river bed.  In 1897 after a running pistol fight, in which thirteen
shots were fired at Moore, he captured a Mexican under the bed of his house.

In 1899 Chief Moore married Miss Ida May McCullough, of Phoenix and they
make their home on Westmoreland Street.

On September 16, 1912, while Chief Moore and three of his assistants were
engaged in quelling a disturbance which began in a saloon during a
celebration he was seriously injured by a man who attacked him with a knife
after six or seven of the offenders had been safely lodged in jail.  The
Chief was stabbed three times, his clothes cut in many places and his
condition was so critical that his life was despaired of for weeks.  He has
fully recovered and is gain at his post.
