k Signed Statement By Tillman, Published Statements, He Claim?, Are Untrue ? Will Content] Qf That HeJThought .(Jon zales Was Armed. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 10.? Lieutenant Governor J if. 11 Tillman is taking things quietly and calmly -in the county jail. During the day ho had visitors and three of his lawyers, Con gressman George W. Croft, former* Judge O. W. Buchanan, and Mr. Coleman L. Blea>c, spent most of tb(j day with their client. Mr. P. H. Nelson, who is said to bo in tho case, was consulted during the day. Lieutenant Governor Tillman is quartered in the corridor room on the second floor of the county jail. lie has a loom to himself. This afternoon he had'new furniture brought to the O room and is confortably fixed. During the afternoon >two of his counsel brought*n c?py*of a statement which Colonel Tillman had himself written in response to an offer from a New York paper that its columns*were open to him. It 1 - * was uiso requested that/the statement be Bent to lite Associated Press, it is as follows. "I thank you for your courtooua and kind telegram. In view of tho facts .that the dispatches sent out from Columbia emanated from the office of Tho State news paper,iof which Mr. Gonzales was editor, I'don't deem it'.necsssnn to deny whntdias been sent froln that quarter. When this?^unfortunate^ affair "is known to my 4d U* J friends as-well as to tho people of this country, .they will sea how thoroughly I was justified in acting as I did. "The statements already published in the papers are untrue and[at the proper time, 1 will be prepared to show this. Beyond this I do not care to make any further statement. (Signed) ,4Jas. H. Till man " The New York papers, with whatever accounts they may have published have not reached here to be read, and the reports published here at o?based on th* available facts and evidence. The understanding is that Colonel Tillnan'i line of defense will bo that he thought Mr. Genzales was arned, that he had a weapon in his coat pockot and thut he had his hands in his coat pockets. He isisaidito contend that he did not know Mr. Gonzales was not armed. Second, that when ho aimed his pistol the second timo at Mr. Gonzales, he did so expecting Mr. Gonzales to defend himself and that he lowered his weapon because there#was so response and ?,? -< a.:-- w /i uui uviawiu HI ttUJlillUg Ml'. U on zales said. Ho refutes the reiterated statement of Mr. Gonzalez that he said to him with a bullet through him, and unarmed, "Shoot again, you coward!'' Mr. Till man will ulso, it is un- i derstood, contend that ho had not 1 met Mr. Gonzales. This is denied, and it is said that Mr. Gon- , zales and Mr. Tillman were in the Senate chamber and State capitol together. Lieutenant Governor Tillman, I however, only makes the slate- ^ ment that appears over his signature. The whole story, has, how- 1 ever, all been given and there is now no need to repeat the details of the awful alfair. That Mr. Gonzales sent no message; that he was quietly on his way to dinner; that ho was alone; that he was., unarmed; that he said nothing to ) provoke hostilities, all seem admitted, and that Lieutenant Governor Till 111 a n met Gonzales and promptly lircd into him is 1 equally true. What there was in tbe Bind of the assailant is an- 1 ther question. ! Mrs. Till man and Mrs. Geo. i D. Tillman are expected hert? tonight. / . Prisoner's Eyu Taken Out. j1 ' Lieutenant Ail Ins r H.
