was arrested at Stockton, Cal, by the.
State officers. but was released on. a
writ of habeas corpus, based on the
ground that Neagle, who was acting I'M
der instructions, had merely performed
his duty as an officer of the United
States The case came before the SUI
preme Court here on an appeal from this
order.
The opinion Of the court was deliv-
cred by Justice Miller. 1t states that
the evidence before the Circuit Court in
the habeas corpus case produced the
conviction of a settled purpose on the
part of Terry and his wife. amounting
to conspiracy to murder Justice Field,

he would have been justified in what
he did in defense Of Fields life and
possibly Of his own After a long dis

involved in the case, the opinion con-
cludes as follows:
The result to which we have arrived upon.
this examination that in the protection of
the person and the life of Mr.. Justice Field
while in the discharge of his official duties,
Neagle was authorized to resist the attack
OF Terry upon that eminent judicial officer.
That he was justified In the belief that with
out instant action on his part the assault OF
Terry upon the Judge would have ended in
the death OF the latter. That such being his
well-founded belief, he was justified in tax
Ing the life OF Terry as the only means OF
preventing the death of the man who was
Intended to be his victim That in taking
the life OF Terry under the circum-
stances, he was acting under the authority
Of the law of the United States, and was
justified in 50 doing, and that be is not liza
Bile to answer for murder to the courts OF
California on account of his part in the
transaction. We therefore affirm the judg-
mene of the Circuit Court authorizing his
discharge from the custody of the sheriff OF
San Joaquin County.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice La
mar dissented from the decision. JUS
hce Field did not take any part in the.
decision.

was the cry which rang through a
Christian church in Chicago yesterday
and suiting the action to the word angry
men forcibly elected from the church q
preacher of the gospel. 1t was the cul-
mination of the trouble in the Illinois
conference of the Evangelical Associa-
ton, which resulted in the division of
the conference last week in two Sec
tons. each claiming to alone possess
ecclesiastical authority. Each appointed
pastors Tor all the churches in the State,
SO that each church has two ministers.
At the Humboldt Park Church yester-
day afternoon Rev. Mr.. Morloch was to
preach his farewell sermon and under
the itinerant system his successor was
to be installed. The adherents and APP
pointees of both conferences were on
hand, each determined to take possess
sion OF the church and to install its
pastor. The Wisconsin conference had
appointed Rev. John Vetter and the
Shefiield avenus conference licensed
Rev. A. Heilman.
When Pastor Morloch and Pastor-elect
Heilman attempted in company to close
the Sunday school preparatory to other
services, Sunday School Superintendent
theodore Kruger and Pastor-elect Vet
ter demanded their authority. Immedi-
ately number of the congregation
Ieaped from their seats and seized Mr..
Vetter. while Mr.. Heilman jumped from
the pulpit and across the chancel rail
The confusion and uproar was made
worse by the rush Of women and chill
dren for the door. Mr.. Vetter's friends
shrieking: They are killing our
preacher" while his opponents yelled:
''Hinaus NIT linn. mr. Vetter finally
was landed outside. and notwithstand-
ing that he produced his license was re-
fused admission by Mr.. Heilman, who
stood in the doorway.
When Mr.. Vetter and his friends re.
tired Rev. Mr.. Morloch preached his
sermon He deplored the scene, but
said that Christ was the only Bishop

The feeling between the factions is
very high, and that section of the city
is greatly excited over the affair.
