Ex-Judse Terry Shot Dead.
Ex-Judge David S. Terry was shot
and killed by Deputy United States
Marshal David Nagle, at the breakfast
table in the depot hotel at Lathrop, Cal
ifornia, Wednesday morning. The shoot
ing was caused by an assault made by
Terry upon Justice Field of the United
States supreme court. Upon the ar
rival of the southern overland train at
Lathrop, United States Supreme Judge
Stephen j. Field and Deputy Marshal
David Nagle walked into the depot din
ing room for breakfast and sat down
side by side. Soon after ex- Judge David
s. Terry and wife came in also. They
proceeded to another table. Mrs. Terry,
evidently recognizing Justice Field, did
not sit down, but retired to the train for
some unknown purpose. Before reach
ing it, however, and as soon as she had
left the dining room, Judge Terry ap-
preached Justice Field, STOPPING over
him and gently slapping his face once.
At this juncture Deputy Marshal Nagle
arose from his seat and shot Judge
Terry, apparently through the heart.
AS he was falling the deputy marshal
shot again, but missed him, the bullet
going through the floor. Both shots
were fired in quick succession. After
the shooting Deputy Marshal Nagle
backed up against the wall of the dining
room and warned every one not to mo-
lest him, saying that he was United
States officer in the discharge of his
duty. There was no semblance of an at
tempt to molest him at any time. Con
stable Walker took Deputy Nagle from
the train at Tracy and proceeded with
him to Stockton, where he is now in
Jail, States Attorney White ordered
the arrest of Justice Field upon his ar
rival in San Francisco and telegraphed
| the order to the sheriff of San Fran
cisco.
Mrs, Terry was formerly Sarah Althea
Hill, who through long litigation claimed
to be the wife of ex-senator Sharon.
decided she was not Sharon's wife.
Sarah denounced Field in open court as
corrupt. Field ordered her removed
from the court. Terry drew knife in
her defense, and both were then sent to
jail for six months for contempt Of court.
This was in September last, and We'd
nestlay was Terry's first meeting with
Field since his release. That there
would be a killing when they met was
generally believed, owing to Terry's rec
ord. He came to California in 1S49. In
1856 he stabbed member of the vigi-
lance committee and came near being
strung up. In 1859 he killed Senator
Broderick as the result of political diff
ferences.
