JUDGE TERRY SbAIN. 1 11 : The Turbulent Life of a Notorious .Californian Ended. t Meeting Justice Field at Lath**?* Cal., He Slaps tifls Face and Is Shot Through the Heart by Deputy Marshal Nagle. T CAUSI OF THE TRAOEDT. Court of § California, was shot and killed at 7:50 o’clock yesterday morning in a railway eating station at Lathrop, Cal, by Deputy United States Marshal David Nagle. The shooting was the result of a personal assault which Judge Terry was making upon Justice Stephen J. Field, of the United States Supreme Ex- judge terry, bench, while the latter was seated at tho breakfast table. Judge Terry had approached Justice Field from the rear and slapped the jurist in the face with his hand and was in the act of striking hijn a second time when Deputy Nagle, who had warned Judge Terry to stop, drew a revolver and shot the latter through the hoart, killing him instantly. Deputy Nagle was acting as bodyguard to Justice Field, under strict orders emanating from the Department of Justice - at Washington to protect the person of the jurist from personal assault at all hazards. The South-bound overland train arrived at Lathrop shortly after 7:30 o’clock and Justice Field entered tho- railway restaurant and took a seat a short distance from yxjmj. the main entrance. Deputy Nagle took a seat at his side. Judge Terry and wife en- k§§s|§j tered the room almost njr f immediately after- '}/ /jhi ward and took seats // * _ vM) at a table distant pos- q—sibly twenty feet from ~ that at which Justice Field was seated, Mrs. mbs. terry. Terry instantly recognized Judge Field and at once left the room, returning to the •leeping couch. She returned again toward the dining-room with a saohol in her hand, buL was met at the door by the proprietor of the restaurant, who knew all of the parties and who refused her admission. In the meantime Judge Terry sat at his table, never taking his eyes from- Justice Field, Finally he rose and walked toward the door, passing in the rear of Mr. Field. When opposite the latter he turned and struck him from the rear on the side of the face. Deputy Nagle rose and cried out, “Stop! Btop!” but Terry had raised his clenched fist for another blow when ike fatal shot was fired. A second shot jam* mediately followed, but the form of Teßjf had fallen to the floor. He did not utter% word. The alarmed people in the room immediately left, while Deputy Nagle announeed to every JfejL \ body that he was a \ United States officer in the performance of his duty, and warned evely one not to molest him. He and Justice Field then returued to the Bleep-ing-car. Iu the meanturned to the dining justice field, room, and, when made aware of the death of her husband, made an attempt to board the sieeping-cair con-' taining the Judge and deputy. Her sachel was taken away from her, and it was found to contain a revolver. She appealed to the crowd to make an attack on the car and to seize Judge Field, contending that he had killed Judge Terry. Terry struggled when the bullet struck him, and Nagle, fearing that he was about to draw a weapon, fired again and Terry tell to the floor dead. At this moment Mrs. Terry rushed up from -the- train - end bejan uttering loud cries and lamentations. “Let me in at him,” said she, “I’ll finish him.” She bore in her hand a hand sachel, which she had brought with her, and seemed to think that Judge Held had done the shootinsr. About 209 persons had by this time gathered from various places. Mrs. Terry ran in and saw the body of her huffiiand bathed in blood. “Kiss me, kiss me,” she cried, “can you notkiss me before you die?" and she put her arms under his head and stooped over him. Judge Terry opened his eyes, and, makijig a supreme effort, raised his head and shoulders toward her. Their lips met, and almost instantly after his head sank back, his splendid frame straightened ou.C, .and Judge Terry was dead,EXCITEMENT IN SAN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, Aug. 15. The announcement that Judge David S. Terry had been shot and killed in the railway depot at Lathrop, Cal., as the result of an attempt to provoke a personal encounter with Justice • Stephen J. Field, of the United States Supreme -Court, —caused extraordinary excitement in this city— The scene of the tragedy is eighty-three miles from this city, by rail, and is a breakfasting sfation' for the Southern Overlaud train The possibility of ati encounter between Terry and Justice Field has been recognized ever since the imprisonment of Terry for contempt of court, ten months ago, and owing to the known temper of the man who killed United States Senator Broderick in the early days of California ■■ Terry was married to Sarah Althea Hill, whd claimed to be the wife of ex-Senator Sharon, while prosecuting her claim against the Sharon estate. This brought him into a resentful attitude toward Justice field, who last year rendered a decision in the United States Circuit Court, in this city, denying her claim to be the wife of Sharon Mrs. Terry created .a scene in court during the reading of the decision, charging Justice Field with being corrupt, and as she refused to remain quiet Justice Field ordered that she lie removed from court. When -a deputy attempted to carry Ont 1 ' tho order of the court she became in vulved In a personal quarrel with the official, and Judge Terry in'terfered, drawing a dagger from his vest. He was disarmed, and both Terry and his wife adjudged in contempt and committed to jail ’ln the meantime Justice Field went to Washington to resume his duties on the bench, returning to this "city six weeks ago. Newspaper articles were printed intimating Shat it would he dangerous for Justice Field and Judge Terry to meet personally, as it was thought the lattdr might insult the former, whilofthw fact wan also recognized that Justice Field would be quick to resent an attack from Terry, knowing, it could only result fatally to one or the other, in view of the latter's record.
Whether Judge Terry had Intended to provoke Justice Field, and draw a weapon before the latter oould turn, to, of course, not known, as Deputy Nagle, who "sat op. peette, prevented this by firing his shot, resuiting in the Instant death of Terry. JUSTICE FIELD’S STOUT. ■a* Francisco, Aug. 15.—The Southern overland train arrived at the station in Oakland shortly after 11 o’olook a m. A great crowd had collected, telegraphic intelligence of tho Lathrop tragedy having preceded the arrival of the train, arql the sleeping-car in which Justice Field was sitofficials and newspaper men Justice RJjld maintained his quiet demeanor and narrated to a press representative the following particulars of the shooting: “I can tell you the story In a few words. For the last few months all manner of reports, both publio and personal, have reached me that Judge Terry had threatened to subject me to some indignity if he should happen to meet me. This fact caused the United States Marshal to decide to provide such protection as he could during my stay In this State. When I started for Los Angeles to hold court Deputy Nagle accompanied me. He seemed to be a quiet, gentlemanly official, though I nly met him twice while away from Los Angeles. Ho asked me in that city when I intended to return and accompanied me, taking n seat in the sleeping-car opposite to me. Wo heard that Judge Terry and his wife were on the train, but paid no attention to the fact. When we arrived at Lathrop we entered the eating statiqp to get breakfast. 1 took a seat at the end of the table. Nagle sat on one side of me. Terry and his wife came in the room soon after. As soon as Mrs. Terry saw me she went out of the room, as I afterward learned, returning .to the .ear for her sachel. Judge Terry rose, and I supposed he intended accompanying her. Instead of doing so he walked back of me and struok me a heavy slap in the face. I was completely astonished, and, seeing he was making ready to strike again, Nagl# cried out: ‘Stop, stop,’ but Terry did not desist, and as ho was raising his arm a second time Nagle shot at him, the bullet entering his heart. He fell to the floor, Nagle shoot ng a second time, but the second shot not sinking him. Nug.e was arrested at Tracy and Taken to Stockton to await the result of the inquest That is the complete story, so far as I am aware of ihe facts.” ORDERED TO PROTECT THF. JUSTICE, Protection was accorded to Justice Field, it is claimed, by authority of United States Attorney-General Miller, who telegraphed from Washington to the marshal of the district to see that the person of the Justice was protected at any hazard. The order extended also to Judge Sawyer, of the United States Circuit Court, in this city, upon whom Mrs. Terry made a personal assault last year while on a railway train accompanied by Judge Terry. The order was based upon this fact and upon threats declared to have been made openly by Terry against Justice Field. Deputy Marshal Nagle was directed to accompany Justice Field under this order, and is said to have given Judge Terry, full warning to stop when the latter began his attack on Justice Field, and fired at Terry as the latter was about to strike a second time. Justice Field left sthe overland train at the Oakland ferry and drove at once to the Palace- Hotel, where he was joined by his wife. He was not arrested, .and the notice to the chief of police, klaimed to have been sent by the district 'attorney of San Joaquin, if forwarded, was not acted upon. t Among the passengers on the Southern overland train was Colonel H. G. Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Timea After describing the shooting Mr. Otis says: “I happen to know that the deputy marshal was acting Under direct written instructions from the Attorney-General to protect the persons of J udges Field and Sawyer at all hazards. In conversation with me before. Justice Field had said he was not responsible for the constant attendance of the deputy, and was rather annoyed at it, but the officer insisted upon carrying out h;s instructions to the letter. Justice Field told me he was not armed; he was frequently urged to arm himself, but would never do so, and had declared that when it became necessary for a Justice of the Supreme Court to go about in the performance of his duty carrying fire-arms with which to protect his person, it would be time to abolish oftr courts.” Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 15.—AttorneyGeneral Miller was found at his home on North Delaware street and asked eoucerniug the command which he was quoted as having made to the marshal at San Francisco, Said he: “ “It vyas given out under my direction. In June, I think it was, Justice Field and, I believe, some others brought to my mind the case, referring to the trouble there had been out there last summer: and saying that there would likely be trouble again this summer. There was danger that Judge Terry, who was stated to be a violent and desperate man, would very likely make a .deadly assault upon Judge Field and Judge Sajvyer—one or both of them—and that some precautions ought to be taken in the premises. I therefore called the attention of the marshal of that district ’to these statements, and told him that it was. due to the country and the courts that precautions should be taken to keep the peace and protect the courts and judges in the discharge of their duties; and that such a number of court officers should be employed as would accomplish this result; that the judges ought to be permitted to discharge their duties without danger and without malice. I also instructed him to consult the United States Attorney and Judges as to the course to be pursued in the premises. AN EVENTFUL LIFE. San Francisco, Aug. 15.—David S.

In 1859, while a judge of one of the California courts, Terry engaged in an acrimonious de bate with David Colbreth Broderick, then United States Senator from that State, -over- the—latter’s —opposition to the attempt to force slavery upon Kansas. Broderick was making strong speeches against the adoption of the so-called Lecomption constitution, and to some of his expressions Judge Terry took exceptions. Hot language passed be tween them, and a meeting under “the code” was arranged which took place in September, 1859. In tbat duel Broderick's friends claim that he was foully murdered, Terry having taken an unfair advantage and fired before the word. Broderick was killed at the first shot, and for a long time public sentiment against the slayer was very strong, and be was tq a certain extent ostracised. .For some years afterward Judge Terry lived rather quietly, but his hot, impulsive nature led him at last into other escapades which did not help his name or reputation. ■ /■ 7 THE MURDERER’S RECORD.

AFTER JUSTICE FIELD, Mrs, Terry Swears Out* Warrant Against the Venerable Jurist, Charging Hint with Complicity la Her Husband’s Mur. der. STOCKTOS, Cil, An* IK—A. wantf< wag Issued Thursday (or the arrest of Justice Field, on complaint of Mrs. Terry, who charges him with complicity in the killing of Terry. The sheriff has gone to San Francisco to serve the warrant. The warrant for the arrest of Justice Field was issued by Justice, of the Peace ft - r/'TTrfl’Wflin', df ScdfffCtofl.'hffd' 18' to the sheriff of the county in the following words: “Information on oath haring been this da; laid before me by Sarah A. Terry that the crime of murder, a felony, has been committed within said county of San Joaquin on the 14th day of August, 1889, In this, that one David S. Terry,, a human being, then and there was wilfully, unlawfully, feloniously and with malice aforethought shot, killed and murdered, and accused Stephen J. Field and David Nagle; therefore you are commanded forthwith to arrest the above-named Stephen J. Field and David Nagle and bring them before me at my office in the city of Stockton." No course has been outlined by the friends of Justice Field as to his action beyond the statement made "by the attorneys for Nagle iu Stockton that Justice Field would appear at any timo if desired. The wan ant for the arrest of Justice Field was issued solely upon the complaint of Mrs. Terry, who did . not witness the shooting, so far as the evidence given before the coroner’s jury showed. In fact, no evidence whatever was given connecting the Justice with the tragedy in any way, beyond the fact that he was assaulted by Terry. For this reason the attorney who appeared for the State in the absence of the district attorney refused to issue a warrant, and it was issued on Mrs Terry’s complaint in consequence. Stockton, Cal., Aug. 16.—An inquest was held over the remains of Judge Terry, who was killed by Deputy United States Marshal Nagle Wednesday, and ths following verdict was returned: “We, the jury, believe that David Terry came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by David Nagle, and recommend thaihe be held In custody and tried for murder ” San Francisco, Aug. 16.—The killing of David S. Terry by Deputy Marshal Nagle is still the chief topic of discussion here, though no developments have arisen beyond what was outlined in the dispatches. Justice Field resumed his judicial duties Thursday and sat in the citcuit court with Judge Sawyer and Judge D. J. Brewer, of Kansas. He referred freely in conversation with attorneys and his associates to the exciting incidents of Thursday’s tragedy. He is still constantly under protection of a deputy marshal as is also Judge Sawyer. The preliminary hearing of Deputy Marshal Nagle will bo held before a justice of the peace at Stockton Wednesday next, and a > strong effort will be made after the examination to secure his release on bait If it is refused an appeal will be taken. The instructions of Marshal Franks from Attorney-General Miller to protect both Judges Field and Sawyer were in some detail. The Attorney General referred in his letter of instruction to the rumors that had reached Washington, and said: “I shall expect you, as marshal of the district, to protect them.” United States Marshal Frank says that notwithstanding Judge Field’s objection to protection he felt himself subject to the order of the Attorney-General, and appointed Nagle to keep within reach of Justice Field ready to carry out the orders of the Department of justice. ■ - Marshal Franks has received fron Nagle the details of the affair. Nagle says he is confident that Terry drew back his hand, after striking Justice Field, for the purpose of pulling from his coat a knife he was presumed to have carried, as he once made affidavit that he always went armed. It is the theory of those about the United States Marshal’s office that Mrs. Terry, when she threw herself on body, took the weapon from him. TO MEET IN NOVEMBER. General Belief That the President Has Determined to Call an Uxtra Session of .... Congress.-—-: / Washington, Aug. 16.—Ibis novv generally conceded on all sides that there will be an extra session of Congress It is believed that the President has at last made up his mind definitely to call both houses together by the first week in November. Those who pretend to kuow say that the one thing which made the President hesitate so long before coming to a determination was the uncertainty which existed as to the position which might be assumed by some of tho Southern Republicans in the organization of the House. There is no longer any doubt on this score, if there ever was any at all. Each and every Republican from the Southern States has been heard from. F.very man among them has expressed his determination to work for tho caucus nominees. , There is hardly any chance that the contested election cases can be settled before the holiday recess The Democrats have already announced their determination to filibuster,’ and unless there are radical changes in the rules of procedure the filibusters will, be able to prevent final action for many * weeks, and perhaps they may be able to keep some of the contests on the docket during the entire session in spite of the extra days which will be gained by a call for the meeting of Congress In November. SECESSION. American Foresters Withdraw from tho English Order.

On the opening of the afternoon session the six who voted against the declaration of independence withdrew their votes and made it unanimous.
