Charles Turner, Golored, Let Hi

Charles Turner, the colored gem man,

Gates gather in several hundred dollars
worth of diamonds belonging to S. ia
cobs & Co., and then made a scientific
get away, is domed to visit his pal in
saltwater. 81 After celebrating several
hours last evening a jury returned YER
dict Of guilty against Turner, and that
aristocratic thief is booked for a term of
years in the penitentiary.
Turner has the reputation of being q

however, will probably have a. little the
best of the argument, as he had the

ner stood pat on a charge of grand lar
ceny in the first degree, and when his
bluff was called by the county attorney
the jury recognized four card flush
The defendant, tried yesterday. stoutIy
maintained his innocence of the theft Of
the Jacobs diamonds, and attempted to
prove an alibi. But it proved that he was
not only with Gates, and chief assistant
IN the diamond robbery, but that he 'ac-
companied his colored friend west. When
the officers at Butte picked Benny up
Turner escaped and seemed lost to sight
and memory dear. A few weeks later,
however, he turned UP serenely in Gin
cinnati, and was there apprehended upon
advices forwarded by the local officials.
His conviction marks the close, for the
present at least, of the careers of two
men whom the police say are among the
best in the theivery business

The problems Of this season are largely
due to sickness and physical or mental
infirmities, tho drink and neglect by rel
atives are the occasion of some of the
most difficult conditions. The trained
nurse was called to visit less than the
usual number of new and recurrent cases
of sickness.
In the month 37s jobs were given rs

see fit. The movement has organization
enough already.
