reports have reached me that Judge Ferry
had threatened to subject me to some
form of ~indignity if he should happen to
meet me. This fact caused the United
States marshal to decide to provide such
protection as he could during my stay in
this State. When | started for Los Ahge-
les to hold court Deputy Maggie accom-
panied me. He seemed to be a quiet,
gentlcmanly official. Returning, he ac-
companied me; taking a seat in the Sleep
ing car opposite to me. We heard that
Judge Terry and his wife were Oh the
train, but paid no attention to
the fact. When we arrived at La
throp we entered the eating station for
breakfast. | took q seat at the end of a
table, while Nagle sat on one side of he.
Terry and his wife came in the room soon
after mo. AS soon as she saw me she
went out of the room, as l after ward
learned, returning to the car for her
satchel. Judge Terry rose and | supposed
he intended accompanying her. Instead
of doing SO he walked back to mo and
struck me Il heavy blow on the face. l
was completely astonished and saw he was
making ready to strike again. Magic
cried out Stop! Stop but Terry did
not desist, and as he was raising his arm
the second time Maggie shot at him, the
bullet entering his heart. He fell on the
floor. Magic shot q second time, but the
second shot did not strike him. Nagle was
arrested at Tracy and taken TO Stockton
to avail the result of the inquest, That is
the complete story, so far as 1 am aware
of the facts.n
Justice Field left the overland train at
Oakland ferry and drove to the Palace
hotel. where he was Joined by his wife.
