They were proceeding To another table
when Mrs, Terry, evidently recognizing
Justice Field, did not sit down, but re.
tired to the train for some unknown
purpose. Before she reached 1t, how
ever, and as soon as she had left the
dining room, Judge Terry approached
Justice Field and STOPPING over him,
slapped his face. AT this iuncture
Deputy Marshal Nugle arose from biz
seat and shot Judge Terry 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 very quick succes'
sion.
The Judge never uttered sound al
ter being shot. He had hardly fallen
when Mrs. Terry fished to the side oi
his body and threw herself upon IT.
Then ensued a scene ol widest excite
ment, People rushed from the dining
room and others rushed in During
this time Justice Field and Deputy Mar
shal Nagle .retreated to sleeping car
