NOT UNEXPECTED.
Attorney General Miller Had Anticipate
the Terry Assault.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. 15.-Attornoy-
General Miller was found at his home on
North Delaware street this morning and
asked concerning the order which he was said
to have given to the United States Marshal at
San Francisco.
" 1t was given out" said he, under my
direction. In June, 1 think it was. Justice
Field, and l believe some others, brought to
my mind the case, referring to the trouble
there had been out there last Summer, and
saying that there would likely be trouble
again this Summer.
1T was tho lght that Judge Terry. who
was stated to be q violent aud desl crate
man, would very likely make n deadly ns-
SAINT upon Judge Field and Judge Sawyer
one or both of them-aud that some precau-
tons ought to- be taken in the premises. |
therefore called the attention of the Mar
shal OF that district to these statements
and told him that it was due to the
country and the courts that precautions
fhould lie taken TO keep the peace and no
t2ct the courts aud Judges in the discharge of
their duties and that such II number of court
officers should be employed ms would nc.
complish this result; that the Judges ought
TO be permitted 10 discharge their duties with
out danger and without malice. l also IN
structed him T. consult the United States At
torney and Judges NJ TO the course to be pur.
sued i'll the premises.
in n talk with Justice Field about the
matter before he went West. he stated that
while he did not fear Judge Terry he did eY-
pect that the latter would assault him-make
a deadly assault upon him as well rs Judge
Sawyer when that case should cone on. But
he proposed, as he knew Judge Sawyer
would, to perform his duties in the usual
way, without regard to consequences.
He stated TO me nj the time that he had been
advised to arm himself, with the view to such
a contingency, but that on reflection he hal
concluded not to do so, as he had not been
wont to carry weapons, and did not think II
consistent with the dignity and proprieties of
his position"
