The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-09-18

Would you give me your version Of the
storyf asked thu reporter
IN tell you just how it was" replied
Judge Terry. Being interested in the de-
clsion of Judge Field we naturally went
INTO court to hear it rendered After it
had been given my wife arose and said:
When the order is made to give up the
paper, will you be SO kind as to come here
yourselfp This created little sensation,
and she was ordered to be removed from
the room. | asked them to wait until the
Judgment was entered and would take her
out myself, but they began to forcibly
elect her, so got up to follow her AS
qid SO Marshal Franks pushed me back, and
struck him with my hand. | was pre-
vented by several from following my wife
and forced into chair, but did not ex-
nlolt any deadly weapon in the court room,
as Justice Field says in his order.
When got up [ went into the
hallway, and l found a crowd of people
In front OF the marshals office, where my
wife had been taken. | tried to get in, but
was prevented. Then, and not until then,
took out my knife, ana waving it from side
to side, insisted that be allowed my right
to visit my wife. l did not intend to do
any harm, and said So Neither of us had
been arrested, and neither OF us could be
restrained. When got in the room they
refused to allow me to pass out, and then I
was told that we were under arrest We
were not In court again, and Judge Field
made the order while we were out of the
court room. The following clause is a por-
ton OF the record of the court and is
falsehood, as | never had deadly weapon
in my hand in the court ROOM" and Judge
Terry read the following from the order of
commitment, as published in the Chronicle:
And whereas, said court thereupon duly
and lawfully ordered the United States
marshal, j. c. Franks, who was then pres
emit, to remove the said Sarah Althea Terry
from the court room; and whereas, the
said United States marshal then and there
Attempted to enforce said order, and then
and there was reeisted by one David 8.
Terry, an attorney Of this court, who while
the said marshal was attempting to execute
said order In the presence of the court,
assaulted the said United States marshal,
and then and there beat said marshal, and
then and there wrongfuIly and unlawfully
assaulted said, marshal with a deadly
weapon.
What are you going to do 81 was asked
of Judge Terry.
II will tell you just exactly what l am
going to do. am going to make Justice
Field prove that statement, and if he don't
| will have him arrested for perjury.
will bring suit against Marshal j. G.. Franks
for false Imprisonment, and will subpoena
Justice Field, and will have his deposition
taken as to that matter II he can't prove
it then will have him impeached for per-
jury"
do you expect to take any steps to have
the order set aside ?'
II can hardly tell. Field has got me
where he wants me, and am handicapped.
There is no appeal in cases where the con-
tempt is committed in the view and pres
ence of the court; but if l did not commit
the contempt ia the presence of the court
and did not exhibit a deadly weapon there,
that is another matter, and the supreme
court may have something else to say about
that The federal courts are VIGOROUSLY
corrupt and if vote were taken to-day on
the question ninety-nine out of every hun
dred people would say they WERE As for
that pistol in my wife's sachel, she always
carries one when in San Francisco, for there
are people constantly following her."
At this point the dinner for Mr.. and Mrs.
Terry arrived from restaurant and the re-
porter retired. The two have the freedom
of the Jail. But Mr.. Terry does not accept
of it. They have the best room III the jail,
known as the condemned cell" Their
friends call and see them, and they have
flowers and fruit in any quantities.
