The decision to remove Turner was
made yesterday after it was decided
that the murder was committed on a
government reservation. The prisoner,
therefore, will be tried before Judge
Edmund Waddill of the United States
Court for the eastern district Of Vir-
ginia.
Judge Waddin also holds court in
Richmond and Norfolk. The prosecu-
ton of the case will be in the hands of
United States District Attorney Hiram
Smith. &
AS heretofore stated a survey was
made yesterday of the ground around
the point where the murder and at
tempted assault occurred and it dis
closed the fact that the murder was
forty-five feet within the government
line and the attempted assault and the
robbery Of Miss Clark were committed
only twelve feet inside the govern
ment line. The federal government con
trolls 1000 feet on each side of the
highway bridge.
Miss Clark accompanied by num-
Der of friends last might made an au-
tomobile trip to Alexandria and view
ed the body of Morgan Moore at his
late residence 500 1-2 South Fairfax
street. Owing to her weakened condi-
ton she told relatives of Moore that
she vii. be unable to attend the fune-
raj which will he held at o'clock this
afternoon from his late residence and
which will be conducted by Rev. DR.. P.
P. Phillips, rector of st. Paul's Epis-
ccpal Church.
This was the first time Miss Clark
had left her room in the Rutland
apartment in Washington since the
murder and attempted assault.
The formalty of turning the prison
er over to the government authorities
will be done today or tomorrow and
this simply will mean a paper trans
fer inasmuch as it is hardly likely
that the government authorities will
move Turner until he is tried. Hiram
Smith. United States attorney for the
Eastern district of Virginia, stated
that he intended at once to proceed to
prosecute the case and prepare the
necessary papers in order that this
case may be presented to the grand
jury which will meet in Alexandria
June p. An Indictment may be re-
turned against Turner by grand
jury which will meet either in Rich
mond or Norfolk and as already
stated the negro may be tried in Rich
mond.
When Turner was faced yesterday !
morning by Alfred Stainer, l40l |
Madison street northwest, Washing
ton and charged with having been the
same man who held up Stainer on the !
evening of March p, he insistently
denied having done the "job."
Staincr identified Turner as his as
sailant, Hes the man." he said
~ didn't do it; I'm not the man.
was the prisoners statement.
According to Stainer, he and a
young woman were seated in an au-
tomobile net far from the spot where
Moore and Miss Clark were attacked
early Sunday morning, when a high
wayman appeared. Demand was made
for money, and Stainer offered $1,000
and watch.
Staincr was then knocked down and
his assailant fired two shot at him,
ordering him to get up and run.
