Indictments were fond against Terry

State Charged Murder.
Justice Field and Neagls resumed
their journey, and at Tracy the dep

Of murder and taken TO Stockton and

molested at the time but later was
arrested IN san Francisco, and re-
leased on a writ OF habeas corpus

jurisdiction was raised In the case OF
Neagle, who pleaded Justification OF
