MRS. TERRY SPEAKS.
Any Statement That Her Mind is Unset

Any Statement That Her Mind is Unset
tied is to be Discredited.
STOCKTON, August 17th.-Mrs. Terry was
interviewed this morning. She seems to
bear up with remarkable energy, but there
is no doubt in the world that the departure
of Nsgle has nettled her Her grief, though
not demonstratiye, is very perceptibIe.
Upon inquiry whether she would be seen,
a reply was returned in the affirmative,
and on entering the room the reporter was
met by her in person. She was dressed in
deep black and was restlessly pacing up
and down the floor.
Mrs. Terry, you are no doubt surprised
at the unexpected turn things have taken?"
Yes | am and | am not. | learned this
morning at / o'clock of the strange pro-
ceedings likely to take place. l immedi-
ately telephoned TO Attorney White in con-
nection with it. He sent back word that
under no circumstances would Maggie be
allowed to go. The State has no rights any
more. There is no such thing. It's power
is handled by others than the people of
such community"
What do you intend to do, and Will you
leave here? p"
What can do? was waiting for the
examination next Wednesday 1t will
never take place. They will release him
in San Francisco, and this county will not
have say in Judge Terrys murder"
You think that he will net be returned
here?n
II am positive of it; for they can secure
superior advantage by taking him to San
Francisco, which, of course, has been
done"
Mrs. Terry then went on to describe the
tragedy, and said Judge Field not the
aggressoTl Who, then, is Had he not
risen to defy Judge Terry, the affair would
never have taken place. The shooting was
infamous. Had not Judge Field arisen
when Terry entered, the Judge never
would have seen him. The position as
sumed by Field was equivalent to the
words, Touch me at your peril; defy
you. for am protected"
Mrs. Terry, why did you leave the res
taurant and go TO the train and get your
satchei?"
Il went for that article for no other pur-
pose than to secure the Judges eyeglasses,
which were in the handbag. Mr.. Terry
was near-sIghted and did not have them on
his person. l lad always pleaded with
hun that he must not take human life
He could not be benefited by it. When
left the room 10 get his glasses l knew
Field was there. The Judge did not know
it until told by Mr.. Stackpole. thought
if left, the Judge would follow me, and
we would go back to the car, when would
have persuaded him not to go back, as
trouble would result. 1t was not to be,
however, and Judge Terry was shot in cold
blood. Maggie was taken away for the best
cause in the world. Had the examination
and trial been held in this county it would
have implicated Justice Field beyond
doubt. He fred a shot at Terry. There
were three shots fired. l can swear to and
prove that"
"0nly two chambers of Nagle's pistol
were found empty" was stated.
There were two bullet-holes found in
the wall, said she, land another ball was
in Judge Terry's body. Fields pistol,
from which one of the shots was fired, was
never found, for the reason that he was
never searched"
In connection with the shooting many
more statements of minor importance were
made by Mrs. Terry.
what do you intend to do ?"
II cannot state. am unsettled relative
to any programme
Can you say anything about the Judges
will?"
II cannot, for things are in an unsatis-
factory state. You can state, however, that
il is heavily involved. Whether il will re-
vert to me or not, cannot say. The law
yers are strengthening things ont as fast as
possible. 1t will be some days before the
exact condition of things is known" Any
statement that Mrs. Terry's mind is unset
tied is not to be credited. She spoke with
force, and her appearance and manner of
speech conflict with the claim that her
mind is wandering.
