}
Defendant Pleads, "Not Guilty"?Jury
Drawn and Witnesses Being
Examined.
Contrary to general expectation
when the case of the State against Ex
Lieut Governor James H Tillman
charged with the murder of Narciso G
Gonzales, editor of the Shite
newspaper, on January 15, 1903,
was called before the court at Lexington
C H last Monday there was
uo motion for a further continuance ^
and both the counsel for the prose- 1
cution and for the defence an- 9
nounced themselves as being ready *
to proceed with the trial. 3
Following is the report of th? 2
trial taken From the Florence Daily ?
Times: *
MONDAY.
3
The examination of witnesses iu:^
the Tillman trial began this afternoon,
the drawing of the jury hav-L
ing been completed in the morning, j
It consists of George II Koon, fore-j _
man, foi nier county supervisor and I ~
farmer; Jacob E Savior, merchant 8
and farmer; Irvii. Risinger, farmer; j ^
George F Leitzey, : <rmer; Martin Lj11

J B Jumper, farmer; Willie L Hicks, i0

cer; James E Price, farmer; Homer 11
Woods, bost operative in Red Bank ^
cotton mill. ^
The jury will be kept together and
incommunicado, the editorials of,D
the State, on request of Mr Nelson,: f
especially prohibited.
' u
Policeman George E Poland told ^
of the anc6t of Tillman and the ^
finding of the second pistol in his ^
]>ersonal armory. The pistol and ^
bullets were put in evidence. The
fact that Tillman said that lie j(
wanted to be assured of protection ^
before he gave up his pistol was
made a point by the defense. The v
question of the location of the pock- p
et< in Tillman's ,overcoat was very n
much discussed, this coat and all ^
of the clothes of the dead man were
put in evidence. After a legal fight
James A Hoyt Jr., Louis G Wood ; ^
and M C Wallace, of the State, were; ^
put up to testify as to the clothes.; j
A file of the State from April to!
September of the year in which the j
killing occurred was also introduced,
after another legal tilt.
Judge Gary's rulings throughout j
seem to be fair and impartial and o
strict. j 'J
Col Tillman's wife and mother ,11
were with him in court. His plea t
'not guilty" was made in a strong, Ja
fclear voice. 11

iderable progress was made in the
rstimony today. Most of the inornlg
was taken up by the physicians
s to the character of Gonzales'
rounds. ' ,
The defence clearly showed that it
roposed to combat the introduction
f any dying declaration. After a
ery long tight Judge Gary admitted
:i evidence a statemeut t > Dr Pope
y Gonzales to the effect, 44I am
;illed."
Judge Gary admitted the stateaent
"I am killed" as a link towards
llmvincr the introduction of the dv
? e j
ug declaration. The dying declar?
* O
tion, itself, has not yet been offered.
Linbroze E Gonzales was presented
o offer the files of the State in evience.
The defense traced with Mr
ionzales this spat between Gonales
and Tillman and their con ten tjns.
He could not recall that his
rother had abused Tillman, but
whatever his brother said of Tillman
,as printed in his newspaper. The
ditorials he said expressed all lie rearded
as denunciatory of Tillman.
?he editorials gave all he knew of
rhat his brother said of Tillman.
His brother wrote much more
ban he talked. He never heard his
?rother make a threat iu his life.
le would have gone to any man's face
nd said what he wrote. As a pubic
man lie was absolutely fearless.

pitient, and as to his mental condition,
it beiug developed that the deceased
was in a clear mental condition
up to the time of his death.
James A Hoyt, assistant editor of
the newspaper, was put on the witness
staud, and when he was about
to give the ante-mortem statement of
Gonzales defendant's attorneys obiected,
and a long exhaustive legal
! argument was entered upon as to
whethei it should be admitted. The
question was whether Gonzales had
, any hope of recovery after he was
shot; if so his ante-mortem statement
could not be admitted as evidence.
The lawyers argued at great length
whether from the testimony the deI
ceased had hope or not.
All attorneys on either side made
arguments and finally Judge Gary
said that the declaration of the deceased
made to Associate Editor
Hoyt was entitled to be admitted as
testimony.
As the examination of the witness
would likely take up much time, a
j recess was taken until three o'clock.

BOLD BREAK FOR LIBERTY.

The present apology for a jail,
rickety, old and rotten, is a howling
farce and if a prisoner wauts to get
out it requires but little effort to
make his escape. Either the old '
building should be torn down and
replaced by a new one, or the cells <
fitted with staunch and solid steel
cages that would resist the frequent
attempts at escape of the prisoner^
confined in the jail. There are now
seven prisoners in jail and but for '
tne ninety discovery 01 men iutention
most of them would undoubtedly
have failed to respond to
their names at the roll-call Wednes- i
day morning.
