NOT GUILTY THE
JURY'S VERDICT.
Such Was ltcsuit of Till
in an Trial.
FULLY EXPECTED.
Politics Prevailed in Ev
ery Feature.
Generally Thought That Acquittal
was Certainty as Soon as the
Jury was Drawn.
At 1.42 P. M. labt Wedne.sd.vy the
jury In the trial of J. H. Tlllraan ro
tlred and at 10.HO A. M., the following
day, after being out all night, brought
in a vord'ot of not guilty.
Tho verdict was fully expected, al
though on Wednesday night some ex
pecto.l a mistrial.
Tillman w^s not real y tried for mur
dor. The defenco practically aband
oned its thoory of self-dencc. Out of
seven l ours of speeches by Tollman's
conns 1 only forty live to lifty minutes
was g'v n to discussing tho solf-de
fence testimony. About ono hour was
devoted to attacking the dying decla
ration evidence of tho Ftito and five
hou-s wo o consume 1 in political
speech s, puro and simple. Mr. Gon
y.iles was really the man trird and on
tho oh wgo of opposing tho two Till
man?.
Judge Gary was fair and impartial
in his rulings as far as one could soe
but ho totally failed to keep lawyers
for the defence within bounds. Against
his protests they succeeded in making
all manner of appeals to the jury that
were Illegal and hail nothing to do
with the caso. Tho trial was political
wholly and was driven into that chan
cel, as far as ono could judge by Messrs
Croft and Nelson, lawyers for the do
defence.
The public should understand that
the real defenco Interposed for Tillman
was that he had a right to kill Mr.
Gonzales on account of tho editorials
written by Mr. Gonzales; oven though
the shot was fired live months after
they were published and the man shot
was not looking at tho titno. The jury
evident ly took the posit ion that a man
may shoot an editor who attacks him,
whethor or not the man bo a candidate
for ofllce and whether or not the edi
torials be true. In other words the
Domoeratlc editors who :i? years ago,
attacked Scott and Moses had no right
to do so and Scott or Moses wonld
have been justified in shooting them
down.
Elsewhere appear artlclos in regard
to the trial written by tho editor of
th's paper for tho Columbia State.
Every bottlo of Our New Dlscovoi'y

An Explanation.
In TiiK ADVERTISER of Ootob'l',
11th., appeared an article contributed
by "Olvics" which contained much
that was s>und and truo. It a's> con
tained strictures on tha judiciary of
tho stato which THB A.DVEUTISER do ?9
not endo-sc. la tho absence of the edi
tor, the article was placed accidentally,
in the editorial column on tho second
page. Wh'lo wo heartily approve,of
much of its contents, a part we disap
prove of wi'h ccpual he.irtlues; and we
do not wish the article to bo under
stood as an editorial utterance. The
contributor, of course, did not so un
derstand it and this statement is made
solely because the place in which it
appeared gave it a eort of editorial en
dorsement.
