He Slapped Justice FIELDS Face
Revenge the Motive.
Judge David S. Terry of San Francisco
was shot through the heart by Deputy U. S.
Marshal d. Nagle, who was protecting JUS
tice Stephen J. Field of the United States
Supreme court ON his journey to Los An
geles to hold court. Justice Fields state
ment is this: For the last few months all
manner OF reports have reached me that
Judge Terry had threatened to subject me
to some form of indgnity. This fact caused
the United States marshal to decide to pro-
vide protection during my stay in Califor-
MIA. When | started for Los Angeles Depu-

poslte to me- We heard that Judge Terry
and his wife were on the train but paid no
attention to the fact. At Lathrop we en-
tered the eating station for breakfast Ter
ry and his wife came in the room soon after.
AS soon as Mrs. Terry saw me she went out
OF the room, as | afterward learned,
returning to the car for her satchel Judge
Terry rose, and, as l supposed, in

Protection was accorded to Justice Field.

physicians being unwilling to give him the
elixir.
George Robertson of Mount Carmel, Pa,
has been suffering with inflammation of the
bowels and kindred diseases for years. After
his physicians had given up all hope, it was
suggested that they try the Brown
Sequard elixir. The man was uncon-

was made in the left reast. The pa.
tient did not notice it in the least, but after a
short time he rallied, and when second in

ment was temporary and the patient died.
Reporters of the Jersey City Journal have
interviewed the Leading physicians of that
city regarding the Brown-Sequard elixir.
They all declared, without reserve, that they
considered thu alleged elixir humbug. The
alleged wonderful cures that have been ac-
complished by its use In various parts Of the
country, they thought, were temporary faith
cures and nothing more.
