General interviewed - The Coroner's
verdief--A Warrant for Justice Field.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16.-When asked
concerning the order which he was said
TO have given the United States marshal
at San Francisco Attorney General
Miller said:
cit was given out under my direction.
IN June, think it was, Justice Field,
and believe some others, brought to
my mind the case, referring 10 the
trouble there had been out there last
summer, and saying that there would
likely be trouble again this summer.
1T was thought that Judge Terry,
who was stated to be violent and des-
perate man, would very likely make
deadly assault upon Judge Field and
Judge Sawyer-one or both of them
and that some precauuon ought to be
taken in the premises.
The HIarshars Instructions.
'sI therefore called the attention Of the
marShal OF that district To those state
ments and told him that il was due to
the country and the courts that precau-
tions should be taken to keep. the peace
and protect the court and judges in the
discharge of their duties; and that such
a number of court officers should be eTn-
ployed as would accomplish this result;
that the judges ought TO be permitted To
discharge their duties without danger
and without malice. I also instructed
him to consult the United States attor-
ney and judges as to the course to be
pursued In the premises.
Justice Field Carried No Weapons.
s'In talk with Justice Field about the
matter before he went west, he stated
that while he did not fear Judge Terry
he did expect that the latter would as
sault him-malxe deadly assault upon
him as well Judge Sawyer when that
case should come on. But he proposed,
as he knew Judge Sawyer would, to per-
form his duties in the usual way, with
out regard to consequences. He stated
to me at the time that he had been adj
vised to arm himself, with the view to
such contingency, but that on refiec-
tion he had concluded not to do so, rs he
had not been wont to carry weapons and
did not think it consistent with the Dig
nifty and proprieties of his position"

San Francisco satisfied.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 16.-There is
general feeling of satisfaction over the
death of ex-Judge David s. Terry.
For years Terry has been professional
disturber of the peace, and every one
feels relieved at his death. Since his
marriage with the notorious Sara Althea
Hill he has been cut off from association
with respectable people. Lawyers dis
liked to meet him in professional busi-
ness, and many both feared and hated
him.
There were five indictments hanging
over Terry's head, and three against his
wife, arising from disturbance in the
court in San Francisco.
