Judge Terry and MS WHe entered Terry
went direct to the seat, but Mrs. Terry, who

TERRY's BLOWS.
"Judge Terry turned around as be was
about to pass, and before l could interfere
he slapped Justice Field on the face with
his right hand, and followed his blow with
his left hand, which landed on the back of
Justice Fields head. l was Immediately
upon my feet and throwing out my right
hand, to keep Terry off, / shouted Stop
that Stop that / am a United States
officer
Terry then directed his attention to me-
He had his right arm in position as if
about to deliver another blow. He turned
his glance upon me. He looked like an
infuriated beast. After a moments look
he seemed to recognize me as the man who
had taken the knife away from him in the
Appraisers building, and his clenched fist
Immediately sought his bosom. Believing
! that my life was in danger, | drew my
pistol with my left hand and, catching it
with my right, fired two shots in quick
| succession. Terry commenced weakening
Immediately after the first shot.
II believe that he would have carved me
to pieces and, perhaps, Justice Field, had l
not acted promptly. He looked like a
maddered giant. He uttered no sound
but a suppressed moan, as a man in the
hight of rage. l knew that he had always
carried knife, and believed that he then
had one on him.
Il knew him to be giant in strength
and proposed 10 take no chances with him.
For that reason l held my pistol in both
| hands, so that he could not take it away
from me.
AFTER THE SHOOTING.
