TURNER--I did not, sir.
SIR T. ALEYN--You did not fly! You ran away as fast as you
could.
JOHN TURNER--My lord, a woman cried out 'Get away, and save your
life!' and not knowing what the matter was, I went away.
COL. TURNER--Poor boy! he thought thieves had been coming, and
affrighted him.
SIR T. ALEYN--As to Ely Turner, I examined him upon the Sunday,
the day after his father was committed; he would not confess the
carrying of any money, and the maid swearing it, I committed him
also.
COL. TURNER--What's that of Ely? upon my soul, the boy carried
none.
JOHN TURNER--I carried what was carried.
COL. TURNER--My Lord, one son is as dear to me as the other, but
if either be more, it must be my eldest; but yet I must say, it
was John my eldest son that carried the money.
SIR T. ALEYN--My Lord, W. Turner was brought before me on
Tuesday or Wednesday: sir R. Brown sent out his warrant for him,
being a person of evil name, and likely to do such a fact; being
taken, he was brought before me. My Lord, when Mr. Tryon looked
upon him, he suspected him: I examined him when he saw Col.
Turner; he said not these three years, not to speak to him; and
yet one at the Cock behind the Exchange said, this W. Turner
staid for Col. Turner at his house two hours, that Col. Turner
came in, paid for the pot of drink, and for ought he knew they
both went together: thereupon I committed him. In the afternoon
I ordered this person to send his servant; one came and made
oath that he came in, and enquired for Col. Turner, asked for
him, staid two hours for him; that they went both out of the
house together: and this was on the Wednesday before the
robbery.
_William Dawes_ and _John Rouse_, his servant, corroborated what Sir T.
Aleyn said as to William Turner.
_Garret_, _Watcher_, and _Culley_ were called to prove that Turner had
said that the money he took to Tryon's house was his own money, and that
he was going to recover the jewels; 'if any man could say that he lost
sixpence of his money, or six-penny worth of his jewels, he had two
fellows in custody should answer for it.'
_Pilkington_ corroborated what other witnesses had said as to the
account Turner gave of the way in which the robbery was committed.
_Tryon_ was recalled to identify William Turner as one of the two men
whom he saw in his roo
