| Roger Moore Describes Robbery Blamed on Terry Nichols |
| 2004-04-14 |
| A gun collector recalled today being confronted by a masked gunman outside his rural home near Royal, Ark., the morning of Nov. 5, 1994. .... Moore and McVeigh had met at gun shows. The two had a falling out. Moore, who now lives in Florida, said the robber was armed with a pistol-grip shotgun with a garrote wire -- the kind that can be used to cut a neck. He said the robber wore Israeli combat boots, camouflage clothing, a jacket and a black ski mask. Moore told jurors he had walked outside his house when the robber came up from behind him and put the muzzle of the shotgun to the back of his neck. He said the robber ordered him to lay down. He said he looked at the robber and was ordered to lay down again. He had to crawl back inside the house. Moore said the robber bound his hands and ankles with plastic ties, put duct tape over his eyes and tossed a jacket over his head. .... He said he listened as the robber removed his guns and other belongings from his bedroom. He said the robber cut the plastic ties at one point and taped his hands and feet after he complained his hands were becoming numb. Moore said he lost some 70 guns, as well as jade, precious stones, gold Tiki dolls, gold coins, silver coins, silver bars, cameras and $8,700 in cash. Jurors heard earlier that the FBI found some of the guns in Nichols’ house after the Oklahoma City bombing. Defense attorneys contend Moore either staged the robbery or a group of bank robbers are to blame. |
