Mr.. Turner Refuses to Express an Opin-
ion One Way or the Other.
STOCKTON, August 17th.-To say that
residents of Stockton were surprised when
they awoke this morning and found that
Magic had been taken away by a special
train to San Francisco, in charge of Sheriff
Cunningham, accompanied by District At
torDey White, would be expressing it
mildly. The departure of the prisoner at
such an early hour has again awakened
interest in the matter, and it continues to
be the subject of much conversation. The
principal parties in connection with the
affair are still here, namely, Judge Turner,
Mrs. Terry, Langdon G. Wilson. The de-
parture of Nagle was entirely unexpected
by them.
This latest turn of affairs will probably
result in all of the parties leaving here at
most any time. In conversation with Mr..
Tdrner last night he gave an opinion
neither one way nor the other in relation
to Nagle being suddenly taken away. On
the contrary, he stated that Mrs. Terry
might 60 away in day or so. or might
conclude TO stay for the preliminary ex.
animation Of the prisoner. Deputy Sheriff
Long was seen this morning, but said that
he knew nothing further in connection
with the tragedy beyond the departure of
|
| Nagle's departure virtually ends the case,
so far as this county is concerned. There
are some who express much dissatisfaction
over Sheriff Cunningham's manner of tax
ing the prisoner away, while others contend
that it was wise move, as had the affair
been allowed to drag on until next We'd
nesday it could not be foretold what might
have resulted.
CLAIMS THAT IT is ILLEGAL.
STOCKTON, August 17th.-Judge Turner
has just been interviewed by the Bulletin
reporter. His statement is as follows:
Did | expect Nagle would be released?
never dreamt of such thing. am more
than amazed at such proceeding. When
| was told yesterday by parties that Nagle
would be released and given into the hands
of the Federal authorities l laughed at it
and said, Gentlemen, they will never dare
to do such thing; it is not law Things
are coming to pretty pass, indeed. 1t is
TO be hoped that Maggie will be returned to
this county. l cannot believe that the
Federal Judges will refuse to return him.
Such proceeding was totally unexpected.
1t was done in such q manner that there is
no explanation. | am nonplussed. 1t is
hard, since affairs have taken such turn, to
tell exactly what will be done. We will
have to wait and learn what the other side
will do. This move will, no doubt, arouse
| the people to the question of the centraliza-
ton OF power. For what purpose this has
been done 1 am totally in the dark"
The Judge spoke en- many other topics,
and especially on the question of law and
the right for doing such thing. He con-
cluded the interview by stating that the
spirting of Nagle away was not only IN
called for, but was proceeding in way
that WAS far from LEGAL
DISCUSSING IT IN STOCKTON.
STOCKTON, August I7th.-As the day adj
vances and Nagle's departure becomes COM
mon talk, the supporters of Terry are be-
coming pronounced. " So early-4 o'clock
at time when it was leas: expected is
the general way of beginning sentences in
conversation with different parties. The
question, what will be the next move?"
is frequently asked.
The special to take Negle away arrived
between and $3.50 o'clock this morning,
and not much time was lost in transferring
him from the prison to the train, and the
return journey commenced. The removal
of Maggie was held in great secrecy, and in
consequence the amezement is strong. Mrs.
Terry has not been seen up to this time, al
though when she learned of Nagle's de-
parture she became greatly agitated She
is stopping at the Yosemite House.
Judge Turner has departed and also
Langdon and Wilson, it is supposed, on &C.
count of Nagle's departure. Mrs Terry is
alone at the hotel All the street corners
are made rendezvous for the discussion
of the latest news in connection with the
Terry affair.
