AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT.
The Editor of the Los Angeles "Times"
Tells of the Shooting.

1ehs OF the shooting.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 14.-Among the pas
sengers on the Southern overland train this
morning was Col. III. G. Otis, editor OF the Los
Angeles Times. He was standing outside of
the depot dining room at Lathrop when the
shooting of Judge Terry occurred and was at
the scene of the tragedy a moment later. In
an interview he said:
THE train arrived at Lathrop at 7:10 a. IN.
Justice Field was among the first of the pas
sengers to enter the dining-rOom. He took a
seat at table facing the door. U. S. Deputy
Nagle sat at his side. Soon after they sat down,
David S. Terry and his wife entered the room.
When Mrs Terry Justice Field she turned
and went out of the room 10 the train, the sup
position being for pistol or bottle of vitriol.
Terry sat down at a table further up the
dlning-r room, and while waiting TO be served,
glared at Field. Presently he arose and walked
over to the latter's chair. Judge Field was
leaning over his plate when Terry approached
him from behind and without word of warn
ing dealt him blow on the side of the face.
AT that instant Nagle cried, Hold, hands off
that man.
Justice Field looked up, and, as he told me
atterward, never saw such picture OF incar-
nate hatred as that depicted upon Terry's face
Terry did not heed the marshaPs warning. and
raised his clenched fist to deliver second blow.
lhat menaclng gesture was the last act of his
life. Quick as a fash Nagle drew his pistol
and sent bullet through his heart.
"A great commOtion then arose in the din
ing-hall and on the platform. Mrs. Terry ran
about from the train TO the dining-hall door,
trantically demanding her sachel, which some
one had taken from her. She then stormed
charged thoSe who had barred her out with
shielding n lrderers."

CLEANED OUT THE STORE.
A Frightful Explosion of Gas-One Man
Killed and Many Persons Iniured.

Killed and Many Persons Injured.
NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-At 10 O'clock this
evening an explosion of gas in a crockery store
at the corner of Grand and Clinton-sts. drove
the contents of the store through the plate
glass windows into the streets and
shook the neighborhood. One man was killed
another probably fatally injured and about
thirty persons were wounded. Immediately
after the explosion a volume of flame poured
out into the street. through which men, women
and children ran screaming with blood gushing
from cuts and gashes.
Mr.. S. Jacobs bled 10 death almost instantly.
He was passing the place when huge pieces of
plate glass flying before the terrible force be-
hind them, tore his right side and back so that
flesh and clothing fell from him in chunks.
Two men dragged his body away from the
flames and ran for an ambulance Jacobs
agony was soon over.
Jacob Seigel, covered with blood, rushed
frantically as though insane and fought a DO
liceman desperately until be became exhausted.
He was taken to Bellevue with a fractured
skull.
The store was closed at o'clock, one light
being left burning. Just before the explosion
policeman, attracted by the smell of gas,
stopped to locate the source. His actions
caused the collection of a small crowd of Curl
Gus persons, and it was thus that the
injured became so numerous. The officer
reached up with his club pushed open the fan
lights and stepped on. He had Just got out
of range when the gas ignited and the air
was filed with death-dealing fragments Of
glass and crockery. The people hurried out
of the adjoining tenements and added their
Walllng to the shrieks of the wounded and the
roar OF the flames. The arrival of fire engines
and ambulances added to the confusion for a
time.
After much persistent work on the part of
the police and the surgeons, the injured were
sent home or removed to hospitals. and the
tiremen extinguished the flames, which were
confined to the lower part of the building.

the marshal of the district to see that the per-
son OF the justice was protected at any hazard.
The order extended also to Judge Sawyer of
the Z. s. circuit court of this city, upon whom
Mrs. Terry made personal assault last year
while on a railway train, accompanied by
Judge Terry. The order was based upon
this fact and upon threats declared
TO have been made openly by
Terry against Justice Field. Deputy
Marshal Nagle was directed to accompany
Justice Field, under this order, and is said to
have given Judge Terry full warning to stop
when the latter began his attack upon Justice
Field, and fired at Terry as the latter was about
to strike a second time.
Justice Field left the overland train at Oak
land Ferry and drove at once 10 the Palace
hotel, where he was joined by his wife. He
was not arrested, and the order to the chief of
police. claimed to have been sent by the dis
trict attorney of San joaquin, if forwarded in
form, was not carried out

RIDDLED HIM WITH BULLETS.
Negro Lynched Near Savannah, Ca, For
An Attempted Outrage.

An Attempted Outrage.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 1S.-Walter Asburg,
alias Berriam, colored, was lynched at Pooler
ten miles west of Savannah, this morning, for
assault upon Lula Kissman, a seventeen-year-
old German girl, yesterday afternoon. The
assault was made upon the girl at her home
while the family was away. She was terribly
beaten in struggle with her assalant but she
successfully resisted him. Her clothing was
torn from her body. Her face was terribly
beaten and gashed. One eye was closed. The
finger prints of the negro were on her neck,
and her cheeks were torn and bleeding. Her
neck was so wrenched that she was unable 10
turn her head. The struggle must have lasted
several minutes. The floor and furniture were
covered with blood and the girls hands were
bloody where she fought her assailant. Her
cries attracted a coIored man who was near by
and who rescued her.
Asburg sprang through a door and escaped,
but in the next house he knocked down a wo-
man and seized double-barrelled shot gun
and fled TO the woods. In an hour the whole
town was in arms and a mounted posse in pur.
suit. About midnight the negro was found at
a low dance about mile from the scene
of the assault. He was taken back to
the girls house and she identified him
as her assailant. His clothes were covered
with blood from the encounter with the girl.
He confessed his crime and begged for mercy.
Three hundred masked men hurried him to an
open field near a railroad, where he was strung
up to tree and riddled with bullets. Across
his body was pinned paper with the inscrip-
tion, This is the way we protect our homes"
Asburg asked for time to pray, which was
given him, and he begged that word be sent to
his wife. The body was left hanging all day,
and the coroner will 60 up tomorrow TO cut it
down. The authorities attempted to interfere
and prevent the lynching but the masked
crowd was so great that they could do nothing.

some others. brought to my mind the case, re-
ferriug to the trouble there had been out
there last summer, and saying that there would
likely be trouble again this summer. There
was danger that Judge Terry who was stated
to be a violent and desperate man, would very
likely make deadly assault upon Judge Field
and Judge Sawyer-one or both of them-and
that some precautions ought to be taken in the
premises. j therefore called the attention of
the marshal of that district to these state
ments, and told him that it was due to the
country aud the courts that precautions should
be taken TO keep the peace- and protect the
courts raHd judges IN the discharge of their
duties; and that such a number of court Off
GERS should be employed as would accomplish
this result; that the judges ought to be per-
mitted to discharge their duties without danger
and without interference. | also instructed
him to consult the L. S. attorney and judges as
to the course to be pursued in the premises.
"In talk with Justice Field about the mat

he did not fear Judge Terry, he did expect that
the latter would assault him-make a deadly
assault upon him aswell as Judge Sawyer when
that case should come on. But he proposed,
as he knew Judge Sawyer would, to perform
his duties N the usual way. without regard to
consequences. He stated to me at the time
that he had been advised to arm himself, with
view to such contingency, but that on re-
Election had concluded not TO do so, as he had
not been wont to carry weapons and did not
think it consistent with the dignity and pro-
prieties of his position"
Were you surprised to hear of this affair
today the attorney general was asked.
'Yes, was; for while | had been warned
that there was danger, had hoped it was not
so great as reported, and besides, had ex-
pected that if any trouble occurred il would
arise in or about the courts"
