wound. The sheet being drawn down
from the shoulders, mass of thick
blood was seen covering the entire left
breast and extending under the left
arm. The shirt was open, and the sick
ening hole right over the center of the
heart was exposed to view. The eyes
had heen closed and the wrists bound
together with strip of cloth. The feat
ureS seemed to be broader than in life
and the upper lip was very thick and
protruding, the mouth being slightly
open.
GRIEF OF THE WIDOW.
Mrs. Terry's eyes were red with cry
ing. Her hair was disheYeled, her
hands trembeled, and she paced the
room in fit of frantic grief, stopping
now and then to kiss the pale forehead
and caress the clammy hands.
"Oh. my sweetheart" she moaned.
''Oh, my darling. Can you realize that
you? Oh, to think / had just been
asleep IN his arms on the train, and then
to awaken TO this! Oh, that my hus-
band should come back to his county
to be shot down like a dogi Oh, my
sweetheart If could only have Of
fered up my life for him!
81 want you to arrest Judge Field"
she exclaimed, turning to District At
torney White. II want you to arrest
him as an accessory; but want you to
know that Judge Terry had the salts
faction of slapping Judge Field'ss face.
They shot him down like dog in the
road. He was the soul of honor. He
wouldn't tell lie to save his life. Oh,
if could be in your place, my Lowell If
it was only instead of you, who have
have so many to love you. And he felt
so, too, to think he was thrown into Jail
for protecting his wife, and if he had
not protected me you would have called
him coward. If he could only have
been sick and could have had the sat-
isfaction of caring for him. He was such
a good, kind husband. Nobody ever had
better loving husband"
HER VERSION OF THE TRAGEDY.
After while Mrs. Terry became more
calm and self-composed. Her left cheek
was splotched with blood from the
deadly wound, and her eyes were wild
with nervousness. She said that Field
raised up his head when he saw her in
the dinlng-room. She did not see him
until she was about to sit down. Then
she started out of the dining-room,
thinking that Judge Terry would follow
her. When she saw that he was not
coming she thought she would continue
on and get the pistol which, together
with his knife, she had taken from him.
Before she got back into the room the
shots were fired. She entered and saw
Nagle with smoking revolver in his
hand.
''My husband" she continued, "said
not word. He didn't open his eyes.
Then ! called on these men to detain
I,n Int; nf
held me and let him go. | said Il want
you to hold Field here as Witness
The marshal was paid by him to aSsas-
sinate Judge Terry, but they let them
escape. The judge never intended to
do anything more to Field than slap his
face. l never allowed him to carry a
pistol or knife for fear he might get into
some trouble. l always took his arms
away and carried them myself. The
Judge was to be tried before Field to-
morrow on one of those indictments.
Think of that in the light of what has
happened.
"For several days people have been
coming and asking when Judge Terry
was going to San Francisco. 1t seemed
as if they had telegraphed to find out.
[ suspected that some job was being
put up on him, on account of these peo-
pie asking that question, and begged
him to be careful and not go on the
same train with Judge Field.
1--WE were to go to San Francisco yes
teIday, but the judge said he would
wait until to-day, because he said Field
would have to travel over night in
coming from Los Angeles, and Field
would not want to travel by night, so
Judge Terry said he would wait until
the morning to avoid meeting him.
BITTER MEMORY.
"Judge Field not only sent my hus-
| bandsto Jail for six months, but got out
a circular to prejudice people against
! him; and some of these circulars were
sent to me with the compliments of
Judge Field. OF course, such things as
| that aggravated Judge Terry. Why
should Judge issue public circular
TO prejudice the people if his acts on
the bench were right and just? And
have proof that he sent privileged
communication to the grand jury say
| ing that Judge Terry must be indicted.
was on the bench, and this is the thanks
| he got from the coward. want Judge
Field arrested as accessory to my hus-
| bands murder"
When the body reached Stockton,
Mrs. Terry insisted on riding on the
wagon with it to the morgue.
II am strong" she said, and can bear
it. Let me stay with my husband. l
will not give anybody any trouble"
Then the woman threw herself weep
ing on the coffin of her dead. Ali the
way to the morgue her tears flowed
over the gloomy box, and upon arrival
there the widow fell exhausted into a
chair. She asked permission to dress
the body of her husband with her own
hands. The crowd which had gathered
around the mOrgue hung their heads in
sorrow as the body, followed by the
weeping woman, was carried inside.
