Til: Allej?ed Wife of Ex-Senator" Sliaron Married: to Judge Terry. -' ' Baltimore Sun, ' It has already . been ' announced in the Sun that David S. Terry, exschief justice of the Supreme court of Caliy forma, ana Miss barah v Aithea Hill, claiming to be the widow: of exSenan tor Sharon, of Nevada, were married in the parsonage of the Catholic church at Stockton, CaL,- Thursday morning. The groom win be remem bered as having killed David C Brod erick in a duel. BroUerick ' was a member of the New York fire depart ment during its red - letter and reds shirt days forty-years ago. He went across the plains in '49 and at once became a prominent hgure in the pic turesque life of California, Ia 18oG he was elected to the United States Senate, and things; were IookiDg very bribt lor him - ne was only thirty eicbt years old at the time. But on hi3 return to San Francisco a bitter. political . animosity sprang - up bo-i tween him and" Judges Terry, of the California courts. Finally words of insult passed between them in public the. lie was given and returned. Broderick - struck Terry on the cheek, and the challenge ? to a , duet followed the same day. v The result was a . foregone conclusion. - Terry was a dead shot could clip the ear or pieice the heart Oi . his victim just- as te pleased every time, wnile LJrod click's skill had been devoted to di rfctitia: the stream from a hand ensinein'nto a third story window. The unequal opponents met on the morning of September 21, 1859, just a short distance out of San Francisco and before the sun had time to come up over the - bay, Broderick was a dead man. Terry's bullet' was one too much for him. . All of this hap pened 27 years ago. .Terry escaped punishment, but he -was for some weeks in the hands of the San Fran Cisco vigilance com rnittee:; for stab bing a man named Hopkins. When he finally regained bis liberty he left the State for a time, and commanded a Texas regiment in the Confederate army during the late war. . After the war ha returned to California and again entered political life, being un anunou-sly elected a member at-large of, the Democratic Slate central corn mittee ef California at the- conven tion held in July 1875. , In Angust, lb79 he was nominated for attorney -general by the branch of the so-called workingmen's party, which Deni nis Kearney labeled the 'Honorable Bilks. "y", His name was placed on the democratic electoral ticket m 1880 All other .Demrjcratic electors had majorities ' randnar" from '87 to us but Terry received 507 less votes than' Henry jSdgerton. Eenublican. . Thp loss of one vote through Terry 's m popularity, made no difference to either, party as matters stood, but. it might have made all the difference in the world. . , Terry was " one of the counsels for Miss Hill in her late suit against Sharon. . V - . r V . ' -Sarah Althea Hill, who figures- as wuo unuo in mis mariiai anairr nas long enjoyed an unenviable notorioty by reason of her persistent attempts to'establish her claim to the rights of a wife to th late ex-Senator William Sharon. According to her own testis mony ; ; Miss Hill was born at Cape Girardeau, Mo., and is not much over thirty years of age : Her connections are all of.. the, respectable classr and number among them prominent peri sons. She went to California in 1871 with her uncle, W, R.. Sloane, and resided with him and : other relatives until the time of meeting Mr. Sharon, Her acquaintance - with the latter be gan by; her becoming a depositor in his San Francisco Bank. One day in elderly millionaire, who invited; her to call and see him. " She went. The result led .to the suit that m one Cf f.he most celebrated, remarkable and unique In the history of. litigation in this country.'. She swore that Sharon asked her - to be his "wife Sharon denied lit.'-. , The f., trial', consumed months -Witnesses famted in court, and there-were death bed confessions, ludicrous Chinese . witnesses, ' slug snug matches under the nose of . the judge, " interspersed with an at tempt to shootv a 'lawyer, and the drawing. . of . a, pistol in Argojaaptb California style by .the judge . to. re storeorder, searching witnesses lot concealed weapons,' and " invitations to step;outside and settle disputes,; all of -which helped to make up, a trial whose : sensational and grotesque features cul minated by a 26, 000-word decision from the judge, who declare ed that Miss, Sarah Althea Hill had, been lezallv. married bv a contract which had been signed by both five years ago. ,- n, - -, - , - The judge granted her .a divorce and a division of Senator -Sharon's property,7" which I was ' estimated at $10,000,000.: The counsel fees amount ed to $100,000.- . -The court gave Miss Hill back alimony, at tne rate of $5,n 000 for thirteen months, to be paid pending an appeal for, a ; new ..trial. Before j this ! could : take place f Mr. Sharon died, on November , 13 last. Meanwhile Sharon had brought a suit in the United States Circuit Court-to have declared void the ailegedjoaari nage contract With: Miss Hill, and a favorable decision was rendered by Judge Sawyer on December 26,about six week's after Sharon's aeatn. Just before his death Mr. Sharon, - it will be remembered, distributed his large estate among ma cnuuren uy a ueeu of trust, to enable - them the better to defend . it against the claims of ' his would De wite. . in appearance ' miss Hill is very attractive, 1 and; may be said to be almost pretty. Rather above tne average neignv oi women, but with a slight hgure, lair com ¬ plexion, " light br6wn hair and blue eyes, sne is ratner a pleasing picture to look on. ' Her temperament is of a d ecidedly 'nervous" order, as has . w - . - ' t been evinced by her frequent quar rels with ' her own counsel and .her desperate attempts to shoot those oi f Jefferson Daris. ; New Orleans, Jan. 8 - Some . one recently sent to Jefferson Davis , an anti"Masonic newspaper clipping; to the effect that Burr, Arnold and Davis, arch trait6rs, and rebels,' were all free and accepted Masons, and that his Masonry. had ' much to do in securing Davis1, pardon,: Mr.J Davis inclosed the V paragraph; to a mend witn a letter oi reply, in' wmcn ne savs: J .' - - .First- I am not a Mason.
