Protection of Federal Judges
In the Matter of David Neagle
Epilogue:
Sarah Terry, pictured in
mourning
for her husband, went insane and was
committed to the Stockton State Hospital,
where she lived 45 years. Justice Field
remained on the bench another decade
before retiring. David Neagle dropped
from the historical record, but his name
survives in the landmark case, In re Neagle.
This case established the power of the
executive branch, through the United States
Marshals, to take necessary Federal law
enforcement actions, even in the absence
of specific statutes.
