David -. Terry, cX-JudSe ana one
of counsel in the famous Sharon
case, was shot and instantly killed
in the dining room of the Depot lIo-
tel, at Lathrop, Cal, on August IA,
by David Naglc, Deputy United
States Marshal. Justice Field, re-
turning from holding court at Los
Angeles, was seated at n table in
the room, where Terry and his wife
were. Terry rose up from another
table and, walking up to Justice
Fields table and standing behind
him, slapped his face. Nagle com
manded him to desist, and, as he
was about to renew his assault with
his fist, Nagle drew pistol and fired.
Terry was shot through the heart
and died instantly. Naale fired a
second shot at Terry while he was
falling.
The tragedy caused great excite
ment in California as well as intense
interest all over the continent. 1t
was no surprise TO the Caifornians,
however, who expected Il tragical
ending to the bitterness of Terry
and his wife toward Judge Field
from the Sharon proceedings. In
September, 1888, Terry was impris-
oned for an assault committed in
the presence of the United States
Circuit Court. Since then he and
Mrs. Terry had made such threats
against Judge Field as to lead to
Deputy Marshal Nagle's being de-
tailed as bodyguard to protect
Field. Terry was a man Of blood
who, the Alta says, had the mis-
fortune to carry into ripened state
of society the conditions which are
tolerablc only where social order is
not fully established. Restless I'M
der authority, and putting violence
above law, lived by the sword and
has persisted by it," Terry killed
Senator Broderick in a duel in
1859, and he served in the rebel
army on the staff of General Bragg.
OF Judge Field the Alta says:
"When the Justice, with threats
made against his life, returned to
the State unarmed and resentful OF
protection against assault, declaring
that when Judges must arm to de-
fend themselves from assault offered
:; in reprisal for their Off nj action,
society must be considered dissolv-
ed, he was rendering to our institu-
: tions the final and highest possible
service"
