THE TURK CASE.


night and this morning counsel for
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. consignees of
the Lord Canning, appeared before
Judge Stearns and asked that the
case against Turk be tried before the
Doth, as the ship has her cargo and
that date is the time fixed for sailing,
which she cannot do without her mas
ter Stevenson and the first mate, who
are under bonds to appear as wit
nesses affainst James TURK. The wit
nesses manifest no desire to evade tes-
tifying against the defendant, but
they allege that in the event that
they are precluded from sailing on
the Doth, the postponement might be
the means of incurring considerable
loss to the owners of the vessel, if
District attorney McGinn will not al
low the vessel to depart within rea-
sonable time, unless Turk is appre-
hended. before the Doth instant. The
district attorney wishes to enforce
the law.

SLIPPERY JOE.
Joe Holladay came up from Astoria
last night in charge of the officers.
During the trip Holiday did not
sleep a wink, and upon the arrival of
the steamer here he asked the officers
for permission to go to his own house
to get some rest. saying, at is pretty
hard on man seventy years of age TO
be deprived of his sleep. You need
surely be in court at half past nine"
Lounsbury and Joe Knott accom-
panied Holiday to his home. Knott
kept his eye on the front door till
LOunsbury returned for his man a few
minutes before the session of Judge
tStearns' court. They found the house
deserted by Holiday after making a
thorough search for him upon the
premises. The theory is that he
must have scaled the high fence in
the rear of his house, and SO escaped.
