...Deputy Marshal David Neagle, remembered as "a man of small stature but strong, left-handed and quick with a gun." He was standing by when Sarah Terry and her husband entered the station restaurant, spied Justice Field at a table. Mrs. Terry turned on her heel, left the room. The 66-year-old onetime Chief Justice of California's Supreme Court walked quietly up behind the 72-year-old U. S. Supreme Court Justice, slapped him twice.

Their end was gain, their methods vicious lies or nebulous promises. But their days are numbered, and their sway ended.

Dare we hope that we will remain as free of these...
