The Notorious Judge Terry shot.

Deputy United States Marshal Maggie shot
and instantly killed eX-Judge David II.
Terry, while the latter was sitting a break
fast in the depot hotel at Lathrop, Cal, on
the morning of Aug. II. The cause of the
shooting is said 10 be due to an insult made
by Terry in the United States supreme

preme Judge Stephen j. Field and Deputy
United States Marshal David Maggie walked
into the depot dining room for breakfast
and sat down side by side. Soon after,

proceeding 10 another table when Mrs.
Terry, evidently recognizing Justice Field,
did not sit down, but retired 10 the train
for some unknown purpose Before she
reached ii, however, and as soon as she had
left the dining room, Judge Terry APP
preached Justice Field and stopping over

and shot Judge Terry through the heart.

tors Of the Sharon estate adludging the
marriage contract in her possession for

the judge and the latter ordered the mar
shall to remove her from tie room The
marshal attempted to execute the order
when Terry arose aud knocked the marshal
down with his fist. EOth the Terrys were
then removed from the court room, Mrs
Terry being locked mp in the marshall Of
