Arizona weekly citizen., 1889-08-17

| LdJnrOp, InlS morning. The shooting was caused by an assault made by Ter " upon Justice Field, of the U. s. Su- preme Court. During the progress of trial in which Terry and his wife were involved the latter became so abusive that she was ordered to be removed from the Court. When a deputy attempted to carry out the order, she became in
 volved in personal quarrel with that official, and Judge Terry interfered, drawing a dagger from his vest. He was disarmed, and both Terry and hIs wife were adjudged in contempt and com
 tempt and committed to jail. In the
 meantime Judge Field went to Wash
 ington to resume his duties on the Bench. Returning six weeks ago, news
 paper articles were printed, intlmating that 1t would be dangerous for Justice
 Field and Terry to meet personally, as ii | was thought the latter might insult the former, wpile 1t was also recognized that | Field would be equally ready for an at
 tack from Terry, knowing it could only | result fatally to one or the other. In view of the latter's record as Judge, Terry had evidently intended to provoke Justice Field. and draw hls weapon be- fore the Judge could in turn draw his. Of course this is not known, as Deputy
 Nagle, who satopposite Field, prevented this by firing, resulting in the instant death of Terry.
 LATHRoP, Aug. 14.-Upon arrival of l the Southern overland train here this
 morning Bt 7;20 o'clock, U. $. Supreme I Judge Field and Deputy U. s. Marshal
 David Nagle, walked into the depot din-
 ing room for breakfast, and sat down
 side by side. Soon after Judge Terry
 and wife came in also, and proceeded to
 another table. Mrs. Terry, after she | recognized Justice Field, did not sit down, but returned to the train for some
 unknown purpose. As soon as she had
 left the dining room, Judge Terry ap- preached Justice Field, stopped over him
 and gently slapped his face once. At
 this junction Deputy Marshal Nagle
 arose from his seat and shot Judge Ter
 ", apparently through the heart. As he was falling the marshal shot again,
 but missed him the ball going through | the floor. Both shots were fired in quick succession. Judge Terry never uttered
 a sound after being shot. He had hard ly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of the body and threw herself upon | it. Then resulted scene of the wild est excitement. People rushed from the | dining room and others rushed in. Dur | ing this time Justice Field and Deputy Marshal returned to the sleeping car when they were securely locked within. | At times, Mrs Terry would call upon | the good citizens to arrest and detain | them there, and not let them escape.
 Before the train pulled out, Constable Walker entered the sleeper and was
 carried away on the train. He said to | Al 4 L T.
 and would perform 1t. During the time the train was standing at the depot,
 Mrs. Terry was running about wildly, al- ternately from the body of her husband
 to the sleeper, demanding admittance
 that she might slap Justice Fields and
 begging that he and Nagle be detained
 and have their examination here. Pre- l vious to the entrance of Constable Wal
 ker into the sleeper. Sheriff Pureis and another officer had already taken charge of Deputy U S. Marshal Nagle
 | SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-The an- nouncment that Judge David $. Terry
 had been shot and killed in the railway depot at Lathrop this morning, as the result of an attempt to provoke a personal altercation with Justice
 Stephen J. Field, of the U. $. supreme
 court, caused extraordinary excitement | in this city. The possibility of an en- connt9r between Terry and Justice Field had been recognized ever since the
 imprisonment of Terry for contempt of court, and owing to the known temper of the man who killed U. $. Senator | Frederick in the early days of California
 He was married to Sarah Athea Hill. | who claimed to be the wife of exSen- Sharon, while prosecuting her claim | against the Sharon estate. This brought
 him into a resentful attitude towards Judge Field who last year rendered a decision in the T.. $. Circuit Court in | this city, denying her claim to be the l wife of Sharon. Mrs. Terry created a scene in court during the reading of the | decision, charging Justice Field with be- | ing corrupt, and as she refused to re- main quiet, Justice Field directed that l she be removed from the court room,
 After the shooting, Deputy U. $. Mar shal Nagle backed up against the wall of | the dining room and warned every one not to arrest him, saying he was a U. $. official in discharge his duty. There was no semblance of an attempt to mol. est him at any time. Constable Walker took Deputy Nagle from the train at Tracy. and proceeded with him to Stock ton, where he now is in jail. District Attorney White has ordered the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival in San Francisco and telegraphed this order to | the Sheriff of San Francisco
