EXCITEMENT IN SAN FRANCISCO.


EXCITEMENT IN SAN FRANCISCO
SAN Francisco, Aug. Is. The announce
ment that Judge David s. Terry had been
shot and killed in the railway depot at
Lathrop Cal, as the result Of an
attempt to provoke personal
encounter with Justice Stephen
]. Field, of the United States supreme
Court caused extraordinary excitement
in this city, The scene of the
tragedy is eighty-three miles from
this city by rail, and is break
fasting station for the Southern Over
land train The possibility of an en- /.
counter between Terry and Justice Field
has been recognized ever since the i'm :
prisonment of Terry for contempt of court
ten months ago, and owing to the known
temper of the man who killed United States
Senator Frederick in the early days of Cali
fornia
Terry was married to Sarah Althea Hill,
who claimed to be the wife of ex-senator
Sharon, while prosecuting her claim
against the Sharon estate This brought
him into a resentful attitude toward
Justice Field, who last year rendered
decision in the United States
Circuit Court in this city, denying
her claim to be the wife of Sharon
Mrs Terry created scene in court
| during the reading of the decision,
charging Justice Field with being corrupt,
and as she refused to remain quiet Justice
Field ordered that she be removed from
court When q deputy attempted to
carry out the order OF the court
she became involved in a personal quar-
rel with the official, and Judge Terry in
terfered, drawing dagger from his vest.
He was disarmed, and both Terry and his
wife adjudged in contempt and committed
to jail
In the meantime Justice Field went to
Washington to resume his duties on the
bench, returning to this city six
weeks ago Newspaper articles were
printed intimating that it would
be dangerous for Justice Field
and Judge Terry to meet personally,
as it was thought the latter might insult the
former, while the fact was also recognized
/ that Justice Field would be quick to resent
an attack from Terry, knowing it could
only result fatally to one or the
other, in view of tho latter's record
Whether Judge Terry had intended to
provoke Justice Field, and draw weapon
before the latter could turn Is, of course,
not known, as Deputy Maggie, who sat OPP
posite, prevented this by firing his shot, re-
