The Terry-Naele Case in Court.


SAN FRANCISCO, September 5.-The prin-
cipal witness in the Nagle habeas corpus
case, to-day, was Justice Field, OF the
United States supreme court. He detailed
the events in connection with the case the
past year, and the shooting at Lathrop.
In response to questions he expressed the
opinion that if Nagle had not shot Terry
he (Field) would have been dead within a
minute. The expression OF Terry's face
when he raised bis hand to strike the Sec
ond time could not be mistaken. 1t was
full OF malice and murder.
Justice Field declared he never had
trouble OF any kind with Terry prior to the
rendering Of the judgment in the Sharon
case. He added that the story OF his hav-
ing asked Terry to support him for Pres
idential nomination several years ago was
pure fiction.

The Shooting of Judge Terry-An 0facial
Report to the Department Of Justice,

The Shooting OF Judge Terry-An Ohicia
Report to the Department Of Justice.
WASHINGTON, September 5.-In his off
cial report to-day to the department O
Justice under date OF August 81, Marshal
Franks says that in obedience to instruc
tions OF the department, he had constantly
Exercised the utmost caution for the pro
lection OF Justice Field and Judge Sawye,
from violence by D. 8. Terry and wife. o.
the assaulting in the room at Lathrop
Marshal Franks says Terry struck Fields
before Deputy Marshal Nagle interfered.
Terry was q man OF very large physique
and great strength; his passions were ap-
parently beyond his own control. and he
was the most ready with his knife, a
weapon which he had himself declared he
had habitually carried for thirty years.
Nagle is q man OF slight built and well
knew Terry's violent character and skill
with weapons. When he saw good reason
to believe that Terry. 80 far from being de-
TERED by the official warning Ito stop"
was desperately determined to take the
life OF Justice Field and his (Nagle's) own
life, Nagle prevented it in the only way
possible, and no reasonable person con-
versant with the facts will pretend he could
have done otherwise.
It will be clearly shown there were not
two seconds between Justice Fields life
and the shot from Nagle's pistol that
saved it.
Accompanying the report are a number
OF exhibits containing information in con-
nection with the tragedy and subsequent
proceedings. One OF them is a pamph-
let giving an account OF the
contempt proceedings before Judge
Sawyer in September, 1888, when, Marshal
Franks says, Terry desperately resisted
my officers, fourishing knife and en-
deavoring to do violence, Notwithstanding
at his head. He was then e4erpewered by
q number OF men. At Lathrop he had
every advantage, and was ON the point OF
completing his desperate enterprise with
only Nagle and Justice Field to oppose
hin."
THE SAWYER INCIDENT.
Another exhibit is Judge Sawyer's narra-
tion of facts attending the gross insult to
him by Mrs. Terry ON the train between
Los Angeles and San Francisco, August 4,
1888, while in company with her husband,
which had been greatly exaggerated by
Mrs. Terry's accounts OF it. The Judge
says Mrs. Terry merely twitched his hair
where it was short as she passed him in the
aisle OF the car. He hardly felt it,
and no one but himself, Mr.
and Mrs. Terry and q Mr.. Cowles
noticed the action of the latter. On the
trip, the judge says, Mrs. Terry contemp-
lated an assault upon him with her para
sol, but was deferred from attempting it |
by the presence and attitude OF two pas
sengers to whom Judge Sawyer had spoken
OF the pulling incident and requested them
to observe the future actions OF the Terrys
closely.
In subsequent letter Marshal Franks |
1enies the statements OF certain pa 1ers |
that Nagle was killer" of the border
'uffian type, and asserts that his reputa-
'io7 was that of a peaceable. law-abiding
nan but OF much courage, which had been
proven on several occasions.

MIssoULA, Mont, September 4.-[Specia
to The iner.]-To-day's races were mucl
more largely attended than the day before
and the races themselves OF much hishe
standard. The day was beautiful and th,
track in superb condition.
THE FIRST RACE
OF the day was the five eighths Of a mile
dash, with six starters. Monte sold q
favorite in the pools. and men who pro-
fessed 10 be on tho inside said il was q
''sure thing" After half hours scoring,
Captain Merry dropped the flag on the
flyers and they were off in bunch. As they
turned the homestretch Red Bird, who had
but few hackers among the sports, shot for.
ward and took the lead over Bingo, who
had so far held it, and, though whip and
spurs were piled, the Red flyer was not to
be overtaken. He passed under the wire
two lengths ahead. Time, 1:O3. Mutuals
paid $41.95.
THE NEXT RACE
was half mile dash with three starters,
Sunday, Red Elm and Kittie Van. The
former was a strong favorite and proved
true to her hackers, though the race was
neck and neck at most to the wire, when
the favorite crowded forwarded, being by a
length, Red Elm second. Time, 40. Nut
uals paid $s.40.
THE THIRD RACE.
The mile and one.half dash was next
called, with three starters. Bruce was the
favorite, with the moneyed men. He took
the lead from the start, and nothing was
able to overhaul him. coming in an easy
winner. Time, 2:44.
THE EVENT OF THE DAY
was the special trot, three in five, with
Maud Singleton, Hero and LAZY Maud as
contestants. For time Maud Singleton
Was strong favorite in the pools, when
suddenly a switch was made and Lady
Maud sold two to one against the field. |
The horses were let off for the first heat, |
when Lady Maud took the lead and held it |
without a skip, winning the heat in 2:29, |
Maud Singleton second.
In the next heat Maud still sold a slieht !
favorite, but it was evident that her
hackers were not as confident as before.
The horses were started with Maud Single
ton slightly in the lead, and in an effort to
pass her Lady Maud was driven eff her
beat and broke badly during the whole OF
the heat. As the horses entered the home
stretch, both Lady Maud and Maud Sim
gleton went off their beat and continued to
break, both running under the wire. This
gave the heat to Hero. Time, 1928. Mu-
tuals paid $45.
The third heat was repetition OF the
second, both the mares running so much
that though they passed under the wire
ahead OF Hero, the latter was given the
heat. Mutuals paid $50.
The hour was by this time 80 late that it
was deemed best to postpone the race un-
til tomorrow, when it will b. completed.
Horsemen are very much pleased with the
success Of the meeting.
