CHAPTER IX.

TERRY'S PETITION TO THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR A RELEASE--ITS REFUSAL--HE
APPEALS TO THE SUPREME COURT--UNANIMOUS DECISION AGAINST HIM
THERE--PRESIDENT CLEVELAND REFUSES TO PARDON HIM--FALSEHOODS REFUTED.

On the 12th of September Terry petitioned the Circuit Court for a
revocation of the order of imprisonment in his case, and in support
thereof made the following statement under oath:

"That when petitioner's wife, the said Sarah A. Terry, first
arose from her seat, and before she uttered a word, your
petitioner used every effort in his power to cause her to
resume her seat and remain quiet, and he did nothing to

attempted to draw any deadly weapon of any kind whatever in
said court-room, and that he did not assault or attempt to
assault the U.S. marshal with any deadly weapon in said
court-room or elsewhere. And in this connection he
respectfully represents that after he left said court-room he
heard loud talking in one of the rooms of the U.S. marshal,
and among the voices proceeding therefrom he recognized that
of his wife, and he thereupon attempted to force his way into
said room through the main office of the United States
marshal; the door of the room was blocked by such a crowd of
men that the door could not be closed; that your petitioner
then, for the first time, drew from inside his vest a small
sheath-knife, at the same time saying to those standing in his
way in said door, that he did not want to hurt any one; that
all he wanted was to get into the room where his wife was. The
crowd then parted and your petitioner entered the doorway, and
