NAGlE GETS NO RELIEF
Court Refuses to Vacate Order
for Tammany Leaders Arrest.

Judge McAvoy. OF the City Court refused
yesterday 10 Nacate the order which he IS
sued for the arrest of Percival T.. Magic,
Iammany leader, for contempt OF court
he also denied tho motion made by counsel
for Nagle 10 open the default taken by
Michael Feeney in an action on a note for
500 made by Nagle, out OF which the order
Of arrest grew
The argument of Assemblyman Cuvillier,
counsel for Nagle. that his client had al
ready paid $l66 66 on the note brought forth
some interesting developments. Counsel
for Feeney explained that the payment had
no connection with the note He said
Feeney had made an election bet with
Nagle as stakeholder. Feeney won, and
when the time came to pay Nagle was 500
short on the stake money. He was an al
derman at that time and assigned his sal
airy for one month. amounting to Sl65 &C. to
Fceney AS part settlement. So Nagle still
owes Si 80 Of the stake money. As for any
part Of the notes being paid, counsel for
Feeney said II was not so.
Cuyilliers explanation of the transaction
was that Magic and Feeney. who had been
friends for many years, used to lend each
other money. He said Naele gave Feeney
his voucher FOR his months pay as alder
man when the plaintiff came TO him and
asked him to let him have some money.
