he would ever return to California, but this earth was not large
enough to keep him from finding Judge Field, and horsewhipping him,"
and said, "if he resents it I will kill him."

To a newspaper writer, Thomas T. Williams, he said: "Judge Field
would not dare to come out to the Pacific Coast, and he would have a
settlement with him if he did come."

J.M. Shannon, a friend of Terry's for thirty years, testified that
while the Terrys were in jail he called there with Mr. Wigginton,
formerly a member of Congress from California; that during the call
Mrs. Terry said something to her husband to the effect that they could
not do anything at all in regard to it. He said: "Yes, we can." She
asked what they could do. He said: "I can kill old Sawyer, damn him. I
will kill old Sawyer, and then the President will have to appoint some
one in his place." In saying this "he brought his fist down hard and
seemed to be mad."

Ex-Congressman Wigginton also testified concerning this visit to
Terry. It occurred soon after the commitment. He went to arrange about
some case in which he and Terry were counsel on opposite sides. He
told Terry of a rumor that there was some old grudge or difference
between him and Judge Field. Terry said there was none he knew of. He
said:

"'When Judge Field's name was mentioned as candidate for
President of the United States,'--I think he said,--'when I
was a delegate to the convention, it being supposed that I had
certain influence with a certain political element, that also
had delegates in the convention, some friend or friends'--I
will not be sure whether it was friend or friends--'of Judge
Field came to me and asked for my influence with these
delegates to secure the nomination for Judge Field. My
answer'--I am now stating the language as near as I can of
Judge Terry's--'my answer was, 'no, I have no influence with
that element.' I understood it to be the workingmen's
delegates. I could not control these delegates, and if I could
would not control them for Field.' He said: 'That may have
caused some alienation, but I do not know that Field knew
that.'"

Mr. Wigginton said that Mrs. Terry asked her husband what he could do,
and he replied, showing more feeling than he had before: "Do? I can
kill old Sawyer, and by God, if necessary, I will, and the President
will then have to appoint some one else in his place."
