Editor Columbia Record:?In the jtenographic report of the Tillman ;rial it is stated that Mr. Elliott said ihat in the Calvo matter (alluding to m encounter in 1886 between Mr. N. 3. Gonzales and myself) a maD meaning me) came up behind him fvith a pistol for the purpose of shootng him and that Gonzales took the pistol out of my hand and kaocked me in the head. This is an infamous ie. I was totaliy unarmed save with i rawhide riding whip, when I approached Gonzaies, which I did faco :o face, and denounced him as a cowardly scoundrel for his assault upon my reporter, Mr. T. J. LaMotte, a man old enough for his father, known ;o be physically infirm, a much smallar man that Gonzales, and whose reigious convictions virtually rendered aim a non-combatant, before proceeding further, when I applied the whip liberally to bis left shoulder. He then grappled with me, forced me through a show window, cutting me in the buttock, and then got me down in the rock drain, where he drew his awn pistol and tried his best to shoot me, but it seemed to be like Tillman's magazine Luger in his hands, unmanageable, and he then cut me over the head with it, inflicting several scalp wounds. Toe pistol was wrested from him by Sneriff Rowan, who, not having seen him draw it, did not indict him. Later in the day Gonzales was assaulted by my youngest brother, William Beauregard, who was also unarmed, and Gonzales again drew his pistol. For this Sheriff Rowan had him indicted and he was convicted of felony, and to save himself from punishment submitted a secret affidavit to Judge A. P. Aldrich sweariDg that he had only carried the pistol on that occasion because he had heard he was to be assaulted by W. B. Calvo, a young desperado just returned from the Indian Territory, and the complaisant judge allowed him to go scot free and the ends of justice were defeated. My brother had promised me in Dr. Talley's office, while I was having ~ ~ that ha ronnM Uljr WUUUUQ uicoocu, uut*v ?V? | not interfere in the matter?ind this I Nothing but Solid Lea Every Pair 0 iVe have a larger *?toek than ever before.

Monteith aud Mr. T. J. LaMotte, who were present?aad his oaaoi-ilk nnnn fi>r>n7 ilua a'oa nrv?n ^ha WODHUIW U jL/UU VJI ?T U^v^U VJUU spur of the moment on meeting my foe. That Mr. Gonzales up to that time habitually went armed was notorious to the newspaper men, and he undoubtedly had his pistol on his person whsn he assaulted Mr. LaMotte, for it was not more than an hour after that occurrence that I had my affair with him. And I felt so dead sure that he did wear a pistol and that I would be shot, that I kaelfc in my closet where my paper stock was kept, and prayed that my life might be spared. I was willing to stand punishment, but was not ready to die; and that I was not shot was only God's mercy, for when Gonzales was working at his trigger with the muzzle of hia pistol at my side I inaudibly muttered: "Lord have mercy on my soul.'' In conclusion I will say that the -J,-ifTT ita in hrinoincr UUUCOU J UA J VAiU iwu uuvj iaa verdict of guilty, despite the high standing of the criminal, but the pliant sitter on the woolsack was guilty of malfeasance in office, for which I was strongly tempted to urge his impeachment but, concluding that I had got off prettv well with a few cute, a $40 mayor's court Sue and a $20 surgeon's bill, I forebore doing so. I believe that the court of the upright and inflexable judge who held the court at which the case should have been tried wa9 dodged to get before the one who did. Charles A.
