NagIe's nabens Corpus.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 17.-Deputy
Marsha! Maggie, who shot and killed Da-
yid S. Terry at Lathrop last Wednesday
was removed from jail at Stockton 10y
Sheriff Cunningham an hour before day
light this morning and brought to this
city on a special train. This proceeding
was based upon a writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Sawyer of the United
States circuit court yesterday directing
Sheriff Cunningham to produce Nagle in
the circuit court at ii o'clock this morn
ing.
Nagle was taken from the Stockton
jail at an early hour in order to avoid the
excitement which his removal during the
day might have occasioned. A great
number OF persons were present in the
court room this morning when he APP
peared. Attorney Mcclure was intro
duced by District Attorney White of San
Joaquin county and said they appeared
conformity to oppose the release ofNagle by
the federal authorities. The attorney
after reading the papers connected with
the proceedings entered a general protest
to the order of the court claiming it was
beyond the jurisdiction of the federal
courts to TAKE the custody of a person who
lad been arrested for the commission Of a
crime within the states Jurisdiction and
against the state laws.
IF the court please" said Attorney
Mcguire, we desire to protest against
any requirement of this court to the sher
iii OF San Joaquin county to bring a per-
son held under state authority into this
court on a writ of habeas corpus. The
prisoner has, howe yer, been brought into
court out OF respect to the court by the
sheriff and the sheriff now presents his
returns to the writ
The attorney then proceeded to read
the written return, I'VE shall take the DO
sition on behalf of the people of the state
of California that Mr.. Nagle is in the
custody of the, state authorities and the
federal courts have no jurisdiction to tax e
the prisoner from the custody of the state
officials. That objection gives rise to a
very important question, which we are
not at present prepared to argue.
Judge Sawyer said: THE claim on
the part of the prisoner is that the acts
complained of were committed in the per
Torrance of his duty under the laws of
the United states and by reason of that
he has been brought within the jurisdic-
ton OF this court. We recognize the me-
cessity of your being thoroughly prepared
for the argument and probably for asccr-
tanning the facts. 1t perhaps might be
as well to postpone the matter for o week
to give counsel al opportunity to decide
what is the proper course to pursue"
After comforting the lawyers decided
they would be ready to argue the ques-
tions raised next Thursday and the hear.
inc was set for hat date, Deputy Nagle
returning to Jail under the custody Of the
United States marshal.
