Judge Terry, Who Married Sarah Aletha Hill, Murdered in a Railway Dining Room. He Slaps Justice Field in the Face and is Shot Down by Deputy Mar- shal Nagle. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 14.—Ex- Judge David 8S. Terry husband of the notorieus Sarah Aletha Hill- Sharon, was shot and killed by Dep- uty United States Marshal David Nagle at the breakfast table in the depot hotel at Lathrop this morn- ing. The shooting was caused by an assault made by Terry upon Jus- tice Stephen J. Field of the United States supreme court. Upon the arrival of the Southern overland train at Lathrop at 7:20 o'clock this morning, Justice Field and Deputy United States Marshal Nagle walked into the dining room for breakfast and sat down side by side. Soon after Judge Terry and wife came in also. They were pro- ceeding to another table when Mrs Terry evidently recognizing Justice Field, did not sit down, but retired to the train for some unknown pur- pose. Before she reached it, how- ever, and as soon as she had left the dining-room, Judge Terry ap- proached Judge Field and, stooping over him, slapped his face. At this juncture Deputy Masshal Nagle arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry through the heart. As he was falling the deputy marshal shot again but missed him, the bul- let going through the floor. Both shots were fired in very quick suc- cession. Terry never uttered asound after being shot. Terry had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body and threw herself upon it. Then en- sued a scene of the wildest excite- ment, people rushing from the din- ingroom and others rushing in. NAGLE ARRESTED AT TRACY. After the shooting Nagle backed up against the wall of the dining- room and warned every one not to arrest him, saying he was a United States officer in the discharge of his duty. There was no semblance of an attempt to molest him and he and Justice Field soon retreated to asleeping car. where they were se- curely locked within. Attimes Mrs. Terry would call upon the citizens to arrest them. Before the train pulled out Constable Walker entered the sleeper and was carried away on board the train. He informed the spectators that he knew his duty and would perform it. During the time the train was standing at the depot Mrs. Terry was running wildly alternately from the body of her husband to the sleeper, demanding admittance that she might slap Justice Field's face, and at the same time begging that they be detained and have their ex- amination. Previous to the entrance of constable Walker iato the sleeper, Sheriff Purvis and deputy of Stanis- laus county had already taken charge of Deputy United State Marshal Na- gle. Constable Walker took Deputy Nagle from the train at Tracy and proceeded with him to Stock- ton, where he is now in jail. District Attorney White ordered the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival in San Francisco and tele graphed the order to the sheriff of San Francisco. CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 14.— The announcement of the killing of Terry as aresult of an attempt to provoke a personal altercation with Justice Stephen J. Field of the United States supreme court caused extraordinary excitement in this city. The scene of the tragedy is eighty- three miles from this city by rail, and is the breakfasting point for the southern overland train. The pos- sibility of an encounter between Terry and Justice Field had been recognized ever since the imprison- ment of Terry for contempt of court ten months ago, owing to the temper of the man, who killed Unit- ed States Senator Broderick in the early days of California. David S. Terry was at one time chief justice of the supreme court of California, and had always been a prominent figure in the political his- tory ef the state. The killing of Broderick caused at the time deep resentment against Terry by a por- tion of the people of the state, which threatened to termitate his career in California, but he always had a num- ber of adherents and remained in the state though he had once or twice been before the people for po- sition. He was married to Sarah Aletha Hill, who claimed to be the wife of ex Senator Sharon, while prosecuting her claim against the Sharon estate. This brought Terry in a resentful attitude toward Justice Field who, last year, rendered a decision in the United States circuit court in this city denying her claim to be the wife Mrs. Terry created a scene in court during the reading of the decision, charging Justice Field with being corrupt, and as she re- fused to remain quiet, Justice Field directed that she be removed from When a deputy attempted to carry out the order of the court, she became involved in a personal quarrel with that official and Judge Terry interfered, drawing a dagger He was disarmed and both he and his wife were adjudged in contempt and committed to jail. In the meantime Justice Field went to Washington to resume his duties on the bench, returning to this city six weeks ago. articles were printed intimating that it would be dangerous for Justice Field and Judge Terry to meet per- sonally, as it was thought the latter might insult the former, while the fact was also recognized that Justice Field would be quick to resent an attack from Terry, knowing it could only result fatally to one or the oth- of the latter’s record. Whether Terry had intended to pro- voke Justice Field and draw a weap before the latter could turn is of course not known, as Deputy Nagle, of Sharon. court. from his vest. of and assault, but he would not do | FROM THE FAR WEST. so, because in the first place he had never carried a weapon and was op- | Win.

Mr. Lincoln had a presentment just before his death, but what it forboded he could not tell. It is related that when the members of his cabinet met they wondered at peculiar change that had come over him. He sat silently, with his head on his breast, and refrained from indulging in any of the quaint stories, as was his habit on such occasions. Rousing himself’ he said very gravely; “Gentlemen, some- thing extraordinary is going to hap- pen soon.” Something good, sir, I hope,” observed the Attorney Gener- al. The reply came; “I don’t know. I don,t know; but it will happen, and shortly, too.” And come it did, for that night he was shot.—Boston Herald. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D.
