' TILLMAN TALKS ABOUT SELF.
*
The Senator's Condition Has Been ]
Very Grave?Still Thinks Roosevelt
will bo Nominated by
Republicans.
News-ami Courier.
^ Kdgetield, April 7.?Sunday, for 1
y the ilrsl Jiinc* since his illness, I paid
^ Senator Tillman a visit. After being
received with a most gracious hos- i
pitality by Airs. Tillman and other ]
members of the family, I was usher *
ed in the room occupied during the
day by the senator. lie sal in a large
arm chair gazing in (lie log Tire that ]
roared up the chimney, In apparently
deep meditation. Whel'lrer his vaSt ?
? intellectual powers wqre pondering .
over matters of Statecraft, or a Peeling
of meditative regret akin to sadness
had possessed him, because of ;
? his physical disability to indulge tire
soft side of his nature and be among
I Yiis flowers, as is his wont, especially
Li on Sunday morning. T cannot say, but
np even at rest I was impressed with
Fr the force of the man. My entrance
I' awoke him from his reverv, strong
, nature reasserting itself and for
omcthing like an hour lie conversed
I'ith much of the Are of his rugged
loqucnce.
I do not asj>irc to reportorial genus
or ability, nor shall I effect to
rod nee a stereotyped interview, but
fill content myself with giving a
ummnry of the most striking things
he senator said. Disavowing all
nowledge of medical skill, or any inlination
to assume to the role of the
larmist to which most of us are preisposcd,
but seeing what I did see.
nd hearing from the senator himself
.'hat I did lrear, and applying hard
ommon sense to the whole, T am free
o say that the senator has been
lore seriously affect ed than is goner,
lly srpposcd, and the apprehension
^ not without foundation that it will
e some time before he is returned to
is accustomed health, if indeed, such
hoped-for condition is ever reachd.
The senator gave minute pariculars
of his trouble and diagnosed
is ease in the ligh| of a profound
;nowle(Tge of anatomy and physioDgv.
lie asked your correspondent
f lie had any knowledge of these
eienccs and upon his modestly afirming
that lie did not. went into a
lissertation on the science of tire
tructure of the hniflan body that
vide need a great profundity of
bought and study, and applying this
nowledgc to his symptoms and how
e was affected, said that he fully
ealized that he had narrowly esaped
a stroke of paralysis. He realled
that in 1804. "wflien a mere lad,
re lost his eye and as a consequence
uttered such a stroke. "During the
onversation. without assistance, he
calked across tlve room, but his loomotion
was was without a limp.
'As to my future plans," he said,
'1 shall remain at the Roberson
sanatorium at Atlanta until T get
11 the good there is in it, and if my
icalth is sufficiently restored to warant
the venture T will, with Airs,
'illman, go to Southern Europe."
'lie trip, if taken, will be one purely
or rest and pleasure.
Philosophically as the senator tries
ii view the situation (here is the apparent
struggle between duly Irfhinielf
and family and duty to his counry.
There arc many questions not
illy of parly, but national import,
hat should' receive his attention and
emand his presence in Washington,
ml lu- said, with a si?h of restless
egret: "I hale to be compelled al
this important juncture of national
legislation to be absent from my official
duties." And T might add par1
entlrelically that the country at large,
rtnd especially the senate, will deplore
i (the absence of sucfli a representative,
{ jwho has "a heart to resolve, a head
j ito contrive amT a hand to execute."
) I 1 asked the senator who, in his
ion, would receive the Rcpubli(and
Democratic nominations for
iresidency. In spite of Mr. Rooscs
thrice repealed declaration that
'ould not accept a third term the
tor is fixed in bis opinion that
convention will be stampeded in
president's favor, and that such
sure wll be brought to bear upon
that, already inclining that way,
rill be swept by the stream of
ic and parly favor into an aeoop3.
That it is lo this end that Air.
ievelt is playing his political
s. As against any man other
the president that the Rcpublimay
nominate he thinks Air.
n the most available candidal?
(lie Democrats can put forth, but
Id ATr. Roosevelt be nominated
it would be fatal for our parly
ominate the great Nebraskan.
ho not, asked I ho senator, enid
practically every public policy
e president ? And (lie only come
measure or argument Air. 13 rvould
use against Afr. Hoosevelt
d be the third term. lie thinks
MY. Bryan has boon very unwise in I
his wholesale endorsement of the | tl
president's policies.
"What did yon 111i111<. senator, of v
Judge Pritohard's attitude in assum- jing
jurisdiction in the dispensary ],
fund matter," was asked. To this
((ucslion he gave lint one reply: j,
'Will you, sir, kindly inform me who v
was the author of that remarkable f
piece of legislation that authorized ?
the commission to place the fund in e
private banks instead of depositing it (,
with the State treasurer? Had the
latter course been pursued Judge
Prit chard would not and could not *'
have interefered." ?
The senator declined, or at least v
did not express himself upon the le- '
iral aspect of the question.
T asked him what had become of J.
his l?i11 subjecting the Inter-State \
shipments of lirpior to tiro police re- '
^illations of the State law as soon as
ii entered the Stale line. i1
"Buried in the committee room." 1 11
was Ih." reply: "Just before I left I ^
Washington 1 requested of the chair- 1
man uf the committee that it be re- v
ported, and served them with notice | v
that if il was not done 1 was going to v
raise h 1 about il some morning. T s
had to leave too soon to fulfil my 1
promise."
The conversation then assume 1
that of a general nature, others having
called to pay their respects. After
being presented with a beautiful r
bunch of roses, the product of t'lre
senator's horticultural skill, T de- ^
parted with the hope that Mr. Tillman
might be spared many years yet
to come to represent a people who, in j
spite of; past differences, now recognize
his great ability and appreciate
his manly service and broad slates- J
manship, and who now dare do him (
justice.
"Bandits" Tried.
Manchostor Chronicle.
A remarkable murder trial is in i (
progress at Bordeaux, the sequel to j 1
a murder that occurred almost 'exact- ]
Iv a year ago. On February (i, 1007, <
an insurance agenl named Mongct
disappeared, on .October 2(i last his
body was recovered from the river '
Garonne, at Bordeaux.
The prisoners are an innkeeper
named dean Kugone Brancherv. aged
d7. his wife Lucia. 23, the waiter and '
assistant at the inn. Ilenri Parrot,
and a fourth man named Joseph Gazol.
The Cafe do la Gare. kept by Ihe
Brancherys, ha da very unsavory reputation,
and the Brancherys and
their acolytes were known as the
"Bandits of Langdon."
On the fatal (ith of February, Mongol
stopped at the inn, and leaving
his bicycle there, said he would return
when he obtained the money
that was Ihe objective of his journey.
At the appointed time lie returned?never
to come out again
alive. The Brancherys were suspected,
but had no? the servant given
them away it m .uld have boon very
difficult to bring the crime home to
them, so careful had they been to
conceal every trace.
It was, according to the prosecution,
the wife of Ihe ruffianly innkeeper
prompted by the prospect of
obtaining money of which they were
in urgent need, who devised Ihe
scheme. When the agent returned
to the inn Lucia spied on his movements,
and when ho took out a number
of notes from his pocket she
went into Ihe garden and told her
husband and Parrot that Ihe lime had
come. While Mongol was standing
over the lire Ihe pair entered the
room. Parrot being armed with a coal
hammer, with which he struck (lie
unsuspecting vielim a blow on lite
head. Mongol fell, but had not altogether
lost consciousness and tried
to rise. Brancherv then seized Ihe
weapon and finished the dreadful
work. Then he passed a wet and
twisted serviette round Ihe neck of
the victim hoisted him on his shoulders.
and carried him, still not quite
dead, to Ihe cellar, where Ihe servielle
was pulled tight till life was
extinct.
Their booty amounted to about
100 lbs, as well as a gold watch.
Brancherv and Parrot then washed
their hands and faces and changed
their dollies, while Lucia Brancherv.

other things, she bought an astradian
jacket. This fact, in view of their
straitened circumstances, was one of
Ihe things that aroused suspicion.
Up lo this point the fourth prisoner.
Gazol, Ihe lover of Henrietta
Conrroges, had taken no part in the
proceedings, 1ml ho arrived at the inn
when Mongol had hocn killed and
robbed, and he was let into the secret
and called upon lo help in concealing
every trace of the crime. They
