* Vol. XIII.
AN UNWARRANTED INSINUATION.
The statement of the attorneys
of James H. Tillman as to why
they rclused to allow the publication
of the affidavits asking for
a change of venue is fuil of pure
assumptions and incorrect 6tate
ments of fact.
In the first place, there is no
such feeling in this city and
county against the defendant as
these gentlemen seek to convey
in the case. The case is seldom,
if ever, discussed in the city and
it is only when people from out
side of Columbia bring stories
that they have heard about ttie
* defendant that the case is brought
up in conversation at all. We
deny emphatically that the press
has had auy unfavorable articles
on the case or that it would have
if the afiidavits were published.
The State has consistently re
trained, since the occurrence,
from making any comments whatever
on the case, and that leaves
The Record as ttie only paper in
Columbia that has had any comments
as to it. We challenge
the attorneys to point out a single
statement that we have ever
published about Tillman that is
not true and one word of comment
that was not justified by
the facts, or one sentence that
had as its remotest object the exciting
of prejudice, or which, as
an actual matter ot fact, did have
that effect. It is easy enough to
make assertions, but being able
^ pa to prove them is quite another
matter. The attorneys cannot
boost up their case with any such
unfounded insinuations as that,
^ and if their affidavits bring out no
stronger reasons for granting a
change of venue than that, then
the pre: filing "judge cannot rightfully
grant the motion.
VVe know the people of this
city and county too well to ever
believe that any jury of reputable
citizens would convict any
man unjustly or any man who
was not guilty, nor would they
fail to give any man that fair
showing for his life and liberty
that the law allows and the
sworn testimony warranted. We
most earnestly protest against
any such statement being true,
and we cannot permit it to go
unchallenged. All that the people
of this county desire is that
justice be done, and the law and
the evidence will decide what
justice ought to be. We fear
that in this move the attorneys
are not so much actuated by a
desire that justice be done as
they are to get their client ofT
free, but in doing so they have
no right to cast so serious a reflection
upon the people of Col'
umbia and Richland county as is
contained in their statement ?
Columbia Record.
