the Jury and several sand
wirwaseas on th* stand.
T. D. Mitchell, who was living in
Columbia last year testified that he
bad a speaking acquaintance with
Gonzales. In September of the last
campaign year he met IT. G. Gonzales
near Gervais and Main streets. They
lived in the same direction. 1 One of
the hot editorials had Just appeared
in the State. Mitchell said:
V#r. Gonzales, don’t you think
that it is about time you would let
up on old Jim?”
"No,” said Gonzales, 'he is a cur,
and lam going to fight him as long
as he runs for office in South Car
olina,” i
.4 Then I said WeHr
know you can drive a dog to bay—”
Jlere there was objection by the
state on the ground that nothing was
competent except a threat. The point
was argued by Messrs. Thurmond and
Croft. The former contended that
Only the statement of Gonzales and
none of the conversation leading up
lb it was competent. Mr. Croft con
tended that all the facts surrounding
the threat were admissible. The
court asked for authorities on the
question. No ruling was made and
the question was changed.
Gonzales told him Tillman was a
cur and that he Gonzales had poved it
on him on every occasion. Gonzales
said that he could slap Tillman's face
and be would not resent It. Gonzales
further stated that If Jim Tillman
ever batted his eyes at him he wouk
fill him so full of lead that he could
not tote It off.
Mitchell testified further that he
had told Tillman of She conversation
at some time between the first and
second primary.
llavjpg got the threat in evidence
Coi. Croft then asked that the entire
conversation be repeated. The state
objected again, but this time Judge
Gary ruled that In order to get a ful
understanding of the case the entire
conversation should be admitted
Mitchell then recited the entire
versation, which was
above.
On the cross-examination Mltche
said that he was a contract painter

V. B. Cheshire, a residentof Ander
son, was the next wltneae. He' Is a
printer by trade and ie employed on
tile Anderson Intelllgenoer. Knew
Tillman first as a member of the South
Carolina regiment. He witt to testify
ooooernlng a threat that came to him
through a Mr. Geer, traveling man of
the State, to the effect that Gonzales
was carrying a gun for Tillman. A
great argument was precipitated by
this witness. The Jury was retired
during the discussion. The argument
continued until dinner time.
The afternoon session of the court
was Itself quite snappy. It led off
with a tilt over the Cheshire testi
mony, and continued pretty well
throughout the afternoon. Not only
did the lawyers indulge in debates,
but the witnesses also took a band in
the game.
The most interesting tilt took place
while Henry Head, of Augusta, was
on the stand. He was telling how be

his attorney, trying to secure the

Bellinger crpM-examined the witness
to bring out the idea that Mitchell did

with deceased to become a confidant

SOME MOKE TBSTIMONY.
A. J. Flowers, of Darlington, who
lived in Columbia for three years, was
the uext witness. He was a conductor
■ \ on a street car for about two years.
' He quit the company January 1st, be
cause he could not stand-work on ac
> count of rheumatism. During sum
mer, 1902, Gonzales was a passenger
on his oar. Gonzales was riding/on
the rear seat of the car and there were
tbre* other men with Gonzales. Gon
sales and the party got on the car at
Lady street and rude around to Wav-
erhr and hack.

“I was there to see that Jim Tilt-
man was attending to the business fof
which I was paying my good money?
“So you were watchlog Jim, were
you?” asked Mr. Bellinggr.
* This question brmij<ht forth a
strong protest from the 'defence. Col.
Croft said it might be Just as well for
the gentleman not to drop into the
vernacular of the State (newspaper) in
alluding to the defendant.'
Right here there was a lively‘delate
as to manners,etiquette, courtesy and
kindred topics. It grew heated as it
progressed and finally judge Gary had
to Interpose and order the case to pro-
ceed-<1 n a few minutes Head alluded
to the defendant as Jim, and >j[> Bel
linger called him down. “I apolo
gize," responded Mr. Head, to the
great amusement of the court.
Mr. Head also caused a burst of
laughter In the room by alluring to
General IT. Y. Gunter as the man
they called “X-Ray, or something
like that.”
The pace was too swift for the sick
Juror and about 4 o’clock he began to
show signs of weakening. At 4:30
Judge Gary saw that be could not
stand it any longer and ordered an
adjournment until 9:30 Friday morn-

Two or three times during the trial
Wednesday Sheriff Caughman, who
carried a bottle and spoon, gave Mr.
Sharpe a dose of medicine.
After a lengthy argument by coun

testimony was competent' when the
wltdess made the statement before
the Jury. , '
8EVEKAL WITNESSES.
' C ; \
The representative of the State re
ferred to, he said, was Mr. Geer,.sub
scription solictor for the paper, and
said the conversation with Mr. Geer
occurred on a train between Newberry
and Anderson. The witness was in
Col. Tillman’s regiment, and on cross-
examination said be paid particular
attention to the statement, as he
wanted to tell Mr. Tillman what was
slid. He said when he told the defen
dant that he looked as if it butt him,
and tljathe maue no reply. J
The aritness detailed the conversa-
t on which led up to what he stated
was said by Mr. Geer, and which he
aild began with an Inquiry as to
w hether the “soldier boys” were go-
ing to support, Mr. Tillman.
^_IIenry S. Head, of Augusta, GA.,
said he was in Columbia 'one year ago
this month, and that he was around
with Mr. Tillman, and that .after
parting with him and while in oom-
piny with J!.. B. Sims, a man whom
he did not know, but whom be was
subsequently told was N. G, Gonzales,
met them; and tbat Mr. Gonzales ask
ed him if he was the man who” was
out riding with Mr. Tillman.
I told him I was,” witness said,,
adding:
“He asked me where-bs-wms at. I
toldT him I left liim standing at the
transferstation.” “ * __ >,
II. B. Sims, of Granltevllle, gave
similar testimony. ' :
R. S. Anderson, of Edgefield, an
employe of the United States senate,
after stating that he was In Edge-
field during the summer of 1902,
denied tbat he bad held any con-
shocked South Carolina.”

Witness declared tbat be knew Till
man did not carry a pistol during the
campaign. He knew he did not have
one at the Gaffney meeting, where
Tillman and DeCatnp bad a row. He
knew it because they roomed together
most of the time. He did not mean
to say that Tillman did not have a
pistol at some time.
’ Mr. Nelson again tried to bring oat
the truth or falsity of the editorial ib
reference to the Gaffney meeting and,
Objection being made, the question
was ruled out.
- Witness, continuing, said that on
various occasions during the campaign
Tillman was advised to ga to Colum
bia and settle the troubles between
h i msel f and Gonzales. Tillman 1 n va
riably replied tbat he could not afford
to have a difiiculty and he would avoid
it if possibter- ,
Oh cross- examination, witness said
that nothing Adams had said was
false. He admitted tbat when Till
man In his room in the hotel at Co
lumbia had replied to Adams, be
reached into bis valise and drew out
a pistol.
Mr. Bellinger asked whether tbat
did not show tbat Tillman did carry a
pistol during the campaign,
Mr. Blease said the pistol bad been
put in the valise and when asked who
put It there, be declined to answer at
first on the constitutional ground that
a witness cannot be compelled to in
criminate himself. -mm-r-
Finally he said that it was his pistol
and admitted tbat that was the pistol
to “snuff out Gonzales's light.”
Witness said tbat personally be was
friendly wltb Gonzales, but politically
be wks far apart from him, and the
witness added that he was a Demo
crat.
On re-direct examination, he said
that pistol was put in the valise be
cause it was expected that Gonzales
would attack Tillman in the opera
bopse In Columbia on the night of tbh
campaign meeting He said he ex-s.
pected it because he knew “some
things would be said there tbat
night” and he knetv Mr. Gonzales was
a fighting man.
Mr. Blease then retired.

Witness told Tillman about It soon
after in the room of the president of
the senate. "
On cross-examination he said Till
man had appointed him to the posi
tion. ; ‘He bad never seen Gonzales be

DESCRIBED THE SHOOTING.
Richard H. Hoi zen back was the
next witness. He testified tbat be
was in Columbia during the semlon of
1903 for the purpose of getting a posl- 1
Cion. He stayed in Columbia from
tbe 12th to the 17th. He knew Gon
zales by sight for two years. He said
tbat on January 14 Gonzales walked
up to tbe senate door and looked in
Gonzales turned back and spoke to
Captain White, and witness proceeded
tell the same story aa the previous
Witness told White who Gonzales
was. Later on the same day witness
told TUlmah^of the conversation
Holzenback went on to; tell tbat he
was walking bdhlnd TJllman ana Sen
ators Brown an^Talblrd t>n the day
of the homicide. He saW -Gonzales
coming up tbe street. He boultKbave
passed Tillman on the outside t>f
aavement without touching him.
Gonzales had his hands in his pockets,
and started across the pavement.
Gonzales shoved bis right band down
In his pocket, and witness expected
Gonzales to shoot. Tillman fired.
Holzenback went to work to illus
trate tbe various positions taken, ris
ing from the witness chair to illus
trate his testimony. He was very
adept and had all the movements of
the participants well studied out ap
parently. Mr. Bellinger objected and
witness proceeded to give bis testi
mony in the ordinary way.
On cross examination he said Gon
zales had said be would make Tillman
show the white feather again when be
met him. He said maybe Captain
White didn't hear that. Witness said
tbat he thought Gonzales was going
to kill Tillman, but he failed to warn
Tillman on tbe day of the homicide.
He said that after the shooting be
heard Tillman sav, “I got your mes
sage." He denies that be was walk-
ng with anybody and that just as
Tillman pulled his pistol witness ‘and
bis companion dropped back. Hede-I*
nled tbat be bad made such a state
ment to several individuals. He de
nied tbat-on tbe ilth of Jannary,
1903, that he had said to certain in
dividuals that he didn’t expect to get
a job in tbe legislature, but that he
was going to Columbia for something
better. He denied tbat be bad ex
hibited two 15 bills in substantiation
of bis statement. He did say, however,
If-be did not get the legislature job he
would get another .job.

4 Girl Chained to the Floor for Six
Long Years.
Chained to the floor of a room in
id to 1
her borne, within thirty miles of New
York city, a young woman has lived
a captive of her own mother for six
long weary years. During all that
time she has but once been beyond
the confines of that one little /room
that serves as her prison, and that
was one day four years ago when she
made her escape for a few hours. Tbe
girl's libertjrls limited to the length
of a clanking chain, and tbat meas-
just two and one half feet from
th$-K)iHt where it is padlocked around
her botty^o the end tbat is fastened
to the tlooHcjth heavy iron staples,
la all the yeare^qf her captivity she
has seen nothing ofohe world beyond
the little glimpses that^rnay be bad
from two very small windows^of her
prison room.
From dawn to, dark she sits on
stout oaken chair. For six years she
has had no other, and the thick wood
en lege tell a pathetic story of tbe
captive’s longing for liberty, for they
have been worn down to stubby points
by being pushed back and forth over
tbe flupr. Tbe girl’s mother says that
probably two inches bad been worn
off those chair legs in the last six
■fears. Within a radius of that two
and a half feet of chair the floor of
the room is deeply furrowed by the
legs of the oaken obair. The floor
itself is of heavy oafc' ; pfenlcs, and yet
these furrows are no less than a quar
ter of an inch ,in depth, cut in there
by the thousand? of journeys taken in
that chair from the wall to tbe limit
of tbe chain.
The captJve woman to * Margaret
Ryan, and her mother is Anna Ryan.
Their home is a' little frame house on
a steep hillside, just north of Crofton
Lake, where tbe family has lived al
most from the time they came to this
country ' from Ireland, more than
thirty years ago. Margaret is now 30
years old, but captivity has dealt un-„
kindly with her and sbe might easily
be taken for twice that age. ^bOut
seven years ago sbe displayed symp
toms of mild insanity. Her father,
John Ryan, a contractor in We*tches-
r County, bad died severalyt-are bo
re, leaving tbe little farm apd some
money to tbe widow and daughter.
After bis death tbe two lived in the
little cottage at tbe mouth of “Dis
mal Hollow."
For the first year after the girl’s
p(pd became affected she gave her
" no trouble, but finally she got
1^ habit of running away from
It was then that tbe chain
brought into use. M Mrs. Ryan
it forged at a smithy |tom: by, aort
ught a big padlock wi^ltblcb to
fasten it to tbe •girl’s bd%. Chain
and lock together weigh nearly twen
ty pounds. One end of the chain was
securely fastened to the oak floor, just
where It meets tbe wall. Around the
gir’s waist tbe mother put a heavy
piece of leather wltjs-an irem ring i
the middle, and to ’■Bfc.the other en<
of the chain waMpBEy - —
Only a few dafgregotfie neighbors
were alarmed by the loud cries of
Murder!” coming_ from the Ryan
home. The screams could be beard"
for a mile around in the Crofton val
ley, but no one dared to go to se,e wbat
was wrong. Mrs. Ryan explained tbat
tbe trouble had been caused by the
girl making a desperate attempt to
escape, “I was trying the lock to
see if It was all right,” 'said Mrs.
Ryan. “Margaret spied tbe key In
