CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Buck Turner was arTaigned in Justice
BEasweL S court yesterday morning on
Sflle2 complaint of one NeimeyeI, charging
Turner with the theft of 500, committed
on the goth of May, 1889.
Mr.. Neimeyer testified that some days
before the day of the theft Maud Starr
came to his house and rented a room. A
few days thereafter the defendant came
10 his house and rented room. On the
day above mentioned Turner asked him
for a loan of $40. Witness produced a
roll Of money when defendant snQtched a
500 bill from his hands. Witness fol-
lowed defendant to front door de-
manding ais money, but the latter
refused to give it up. Witness
did not send anyone after defendant nor
ask the assistance of Louis Geiber, who
was DBesent, i'll recovering his money.
He diGnFt report the fact to any officer.
Defendant reE9aiped several days at his
house after this occurrence, but saw him
only once. Turner and Maud Starr left
his house while he was down town. Wit
ness knew he was going TO Gainesville,
but did not try TO stop him. The reason
why was because he knew he could catch
him at any time; he wanted to give him
time and a chance to square himself.
There was a lot OF theatrical scenery at
Gainesville he wanted and wrote to de-
about the money and he mentioned the
cenery m it.
Maud Starr testified to Turner's ask
ing Neimeyer for the loan of $50, which
was granted. Defendant and Neimeyer
were together after that and was present
when she and defendant left for Gaines
Vile. Plaintiff wrote to defendant about
buying some show fixtures at Gainesville.
Justice Brassweu bound over the de-
fendaut, Buck Turner, to await the ac-
ton of the gTapd jury in the sum OF $500.
In the afternoon a writ of habeas corpus
was sued out Teturnable before Judge
Tucker, who, after hearing of the case,
discharged the defendant from custody.
