SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 15.-When the
southern overland train arrived at the
station in Oakland great crowd had
collected. telegraphic intelligence Of the
LAthrop tragedy having preceded the ar
rival of the train and the sleeping car in
which Justice Field was sitting was at
once besieged by United States officials
and newspaper men.
Justice Field maintained his quiet de-
m amor and narrated to. press repre-
sentative the following particulars OF
the shooting;
Jurtice Fields story.
81 can tell you the story in few
words For, the last few months num-
Der of reports. beth public and personal,
have reached me that Judge Terry had
threatened to subject me to some i'm
dignity If he should meet me. This fact
caused the United States marshal to de-
eide to provide such protection as he
could during my stay in this state.
When started for Los Angeles to hold
court Deputy Nagle accompanied me.
He seemed to be a quiet, gentlemanly
official, though / only met him twice
while away from Los Angeles. He
asked me in that city when intended
to return and accom- anied me, taking a
seat in the sleeping car opposite me. We
heard that Judge Terry and his wife
were on the train, but paid no attention
to the fact.
The Encounter at LathrOp.
When we arrived at Lathrop we en-
tered the eating station to get breakfast
took seat at the end of the table,
Nagle sat one side of me. Terry and his
wife came in the room soon after. Mrs.
Terry entered and went out Of the room,
as / afterward learned, returning to the
car for her satchel. Judge Terry rose
and supposed he intended accompany
ing her. Instead of doing so he walked
back of me, and struck me heavy slap
in the face.
II was completely astounded and see-
ing he was making ready to strike again,
Naele cried out stop. Stopv but Terry
did not desist and as he was raising his
aim second time Nagle shot at him,
the bullet entered his heart. He fell to
the floor, Nasle shooting second time.
but the second shot not striking him.
Nagle was arrested at Tracy and taken
to Stockton to await the result Of the
inquest. That is the complete story so
far as am aware."
Government Protection to Justice Field.
Protection was accorded to Justice
Field, it is claimed, by authority of
United States Attorney General Miller,
who telegraphed from Washington to
the marshal OF the district to see that
the perSon Of the Justice was protected
at any hazard. The order extended also
Judge Sawyer. of the United States cir
cult court in this city. upon whom Mrs.
Terry made a personal assault last year
while on railway train accompanied
by Judge Terry.
The order was based upon this fact
and upon threats declared to have been
made openly by Terry against Justice
Field. Deputy Marshal Nagle was di-
Tected 10 accompany Justice Field under
this order, and is said to have given
Judge Terry full warming to stop when
the latter began his attack upon Justice
Field, and fired at Terry as the latter
was al out to STRIFE the second time
Justice Field left the overland train at
the Oakland ferry and drove at once to
tile Palace hotel, where he was Joined
by his wife. He was not arrested, and
the notice to the chief of police claimed
to have cen sent by the district attorney
of San joaquin, il forwarded, was not
acted upon.
