AFTER JUSTICE FIELD.
Mrs. Terry swears Out 3 Warrant Against
the Venerable Jurist Charging HIM
with Completely in Her Husband's Mur-
der. '.---- s.
srocKTos, Cal, Aug. 1e-A warrant was
issued Thursday for the arrest of Justice
Field, on complaint Of Mrs Terry. who
charges him with completely in the killing
of Terry. The sheriff has gone to San
Francisco to serve the warrant.
The warrant for the arrest of Justice
Field was issued by Justice OF the Peace 81.
" j. Swain, Of Stockton, and Is addressed
to the sheriff Of the county in the follow
ing words:
Information on oath having been this day
laid before me by Sarah A. Terry that the
crime OF murder, felony, has been COM
mitted within said county OF San Joaquin on
the 18th day of August, 1889, in this, that
one David s. Terry, human being, then
ind there was wilfully, unlawfully, felonious-
ly and with malice aforethought shot, killed
and murdered, and accused Stephen j. Field
and David Nagle; therefore you are command
ed forthwith to arrest the aboYe-named Ste
phen ]. Field and David Maggie and bring them
before me at my office in the city of Stock
ton" =..
No course has been outlined by tho
friends of Justice Field as to his action be-
yond the statement made by the attorneys
for Maggie in Stockton that Justice Field
would appear at any time il desired. The
warrant for the arrest of Justice
Field was issued solely upon the
complaint of Mrs. Terry, who did
not witness the shooting, so far as the
evidence given before the coroner's jury
showed In fact no evidence whatever
was given connecting the Justice with the
tragedy in any way, beyond the fact that
he was assaulted by Terry. For this
reason the attorney who appeared for the
State in the absence of the district at
torney refused to issue a warrant, and it
was issued on Mrs Terry's complaint in
consequence.
STOCKTON, Cal. Aug 16-An inquest was
held over the remains of Judge Terry, who
was killed by Deputy United States Marshal
Maggie Wednesday, and the following ver-
dict was returned:
I'VE, the jury, believe that David Terry
came to his death from gunshot wound in
hicted by David Maggie, and recommend thauhe
be held in custody and tried for murder
SAN Francisco, Aug. 16-The killing Of
David s. Terry by Deputy Marshal Nagle is
still the chief topic of discussion here,
though no have arisen beyond
what was outlined in the dispatches. JUS
tice Field resumed his judicial duties Thurs
day and sat in the circuit court with
Judge Sawyer and Judge D. J. Brewer, of
Kansas He referred freely in CONVERSE
ton with attorneys and his associates to
the exciting incidents of Thursdays trag-
edy. He is still constantly under protec-
ton Of deputy marshal, as is also Judge
Sawyer.
The preliminary hearing of Deputy Mar
shall Nagle will be held before a justice of
the peace at Stockton Wednesday next,
and a strong effort will be made after the
examination to secure his release on bail If
it is refused an appeal will be taken.
The instructions of Marshal Franks from
Attorney General Miller to protect both
Judges Field and Sawyer were in some de-
letter of instruction to the rumors that had
reached Washington, and said: Il shall ex-
pect you, as marshal of the district, to pro-
tect them"
United States Marshal Frank says that
Notwithstanding Judge Fields objection
to protection he felt himself subject to the
order OF the Attorney General, and ap-
pointed Maggie to keep within-reach of Jus
tice Field ready to carry out the orders of
the Department of Justice.
Marshal Franks has received from Nagle
the details of the affair. Maggie says he is
confident that Terry drew back his hand.
after striking Justice Field, for the purpose
of pulling from his coat a knife he was
presumed to have carried, as he once made
affidavit that he always went armed 1t is
the theory OF those about the United
States MarshaIs Office that Mrs Terry,
when she threw herself on her husbands
body, took the weapon from him
