TESTIMONY IN THE TILLMAN TRIAL.

Some Reflections of One Who Has CloselyFollowed tho Case Day by Day.

IW. W. «all, in Tho State. JWith the testimony all hoard in the

caso of JamoB H. Tillman it may bo in¬teresting to emphasize somo of thopoiuts that have made theraBolvos con¬spicuously plain iu the proceedings.In spite of th© injootion of politiosinto tho trial, iu spite of the dragging inof Sonator B. It. Tillman's name, it hasbeon demonstrated suflioiontly thatmany men of tho former Reform or Till-manite faction hnvo had no more sym¬pathy with the shooting of Mr. Gonzalosthan membors of tho faotion that ho wasformerly idoutifled with. Look at thooxample of Talblrd-a reformer and aState Senator. It was to bo expectedthat ho would toll tho truth to the bestof his ability, to tho host of his recol¬lection, and that is what, without doubt,he did. Adams and Dowliug, too, weroTillman's frionds-oloHo fi icm i.s. Theyaro among tho strongest witnesses fortho State, This is no matter for sur¬prise. Politics doos uot affeet thosanctity of au honest man's oath.What tho political views of Mr. Wtl-

BOU, chief clork in tho oftioe of Comp¬troller General Jones, may bo, I do notknow. He was a witness sworn for thedefonso. Ho was the only eye witnesssworn for tho dofense whoso testimonywas not attacked. His testimony wasvaluable and only valuable in corrobo¬rating tho theory of tho State; itßtrougthoued tho dying declaration ofMr. Gonzales-it placed Tillman fromtwo to two and a half foot only from thooutsido of the sidowalk ami made thodirection of his aimed woapon transverse,aorosB the sidowalk, towards the wall ofthe traiiBfor station.At ibo bail heai inc ono W. H. Hall

made an nQldavit, olairoiug tbat he wasan oyo wituess to tho shooting and cor¬roborating in "overy particular" tho ao-couut gi von by Richard Holapnbaok.Such tho record shows. Hall was pros-out at tho trial last wook. Ho was pres¬ent whon Lörick was on tho stand orimmediately after. Tho dofonso did notswoar him. Why? Was tho hurd lessonof I,(trick's testimony onougb? And yotllolsonback aud Lörick aro tho only eyewitnesses, oxcopt tho prisoner, who inany degree support tho defense. Hol-aoubaok's character has boon attacked.Lörick was not allowed to answer ques¬tions imputing that moro than onco hehad been charged with larceny.Tho witness Hyatt, for tho dofouso,

sume that he saw a pistol iu Mr. Gon¬zalos' hip pocket the day beforo thoBhooting and the one thing about thoappearance of Mr. Gonzales that ho wasemphatically sure of was that ho didnot wear glasses. Tho defonso admits asrue that Mr. Gonzales without glassoscould not seo sufficiently "to walk thostreets." Hyatt saw tho pistol when Mr.Gonzales was loaning over to spit iu acuspidor-not woariug glasses.At somo d isl ance tho prisoner saw Mr.

Gonzales approaching and "oyoing himintently." How far away can you tellthat a man woariug glasses is "oyoing"you?Senators Brown, Talblrd, Mrs. Melton,

Mr. Lido, August Schiodman aud otherstestify that Mr. Gonzales was almoBtabreast of the two Senators and Tillmanwhon tho shot was bred. Tho course oftho bullet proves it. Tillman told SpannDowling at the jail that thu bullet wouldshoot straight.Clark and others swear that Holson-back gavo to thom statements about thoshooting that conilict with his bail allidavit and statement on tho witnessstand, llolsonback declares that whonTillman was about at Gorvias street hewas at the Stato 11 ouse stops and over¬took Tillman by tho timo of tho shoot¬ing, while Tillman was crossing thestreet I

Witness White did not kuow Mr. Gon?/ales; bin testimony as to tho "whitefeather" threat is wbolly dependent onthat of llolsonback.Tillman sworo in his testimony that

he wrote an article to tho WinnsboroNows and Herald ir 1890, and acknowl¬edged a moment later bis own letter of18U2 saying that ho did not writo it.Tillman sworo that W. H. Nowbold

told bim that he might oxpoct Mr. Gon¬zales, if ho drew his pistol to draw itfrom his side coat pookot. Newboldwas at tho trial, but was not sworn. Inhis bail aflidavit Tillman sworo that hoknew nothing of Mr. Gonzales* habit ofcarrying his bands in his coat pockets.Tho case for tho defense substantially

is that Tillman bad board of threats byMr. Gonzales; that ho was oxpocting an

attack; that ho believed from Tho State'seditoriala ita editor was in a framo ofmind to kill him; that ho saw Mr. Gon¬zales on tho outside of tho sidowalk ; thatMr. Con/ales t urned to tho inside andthrust his hands dooper into his pockotain a way that bo interpreted au offensivemovement; that ho placed bis band onhis pistol whon ho first saw Mr. Gonzalos;that tho turn by Mr. Gonzales broughthim towards Tillman ; that Mr. Gonzales'thumbs wore out when Tillman ti st sawhim, and that ho plunged his wholehand into his pocket; that ho firedbecause bo holiovod ho waa about to boshot.Why should Editor Gonzalos wish to

have killed Tillman ? Tillman was notin his way. As a candidate for oflieo hohad been defeated and discredited. Howas in nobody's way. His term of ofllcoas Lieutenant Governor was about to ex¬

pire. To kill a man would have meantsupremo troublo and sacrifice on thupart of the editor of Tho State. Itwould have meant, speaking from apuroly Bolfish point of view, at leastserious if not permauont interruption tohis carce, as a newspaper editor. Eivomonths previous Tillman's delea.! hadboon effected. Tillman's personality hadboen dismissed from bis paper and fromlu., mind. Tillman's attack on Gonzaleshad been wholly harmless. His donun-ciation from tho stump bad counted fornothing. Everybody in South Carolinaknows thia.

If Mr. Gonzales had shot Tillman; ifho wero in the dock to-day instead ofTillman, bis defense might havo boen in¬sanity, for any jury would have said thatan act so fooliah on tho part of Mr. Gon-zalea could not have proceeded from asound mind.Mr. Gonzales had no pistol when ho

was shot, ls it probable that a man ofhis intelligence would havo behaved as aman wearing one ? Would he havothought to bluff Tillman?No, an unarmed man was shot down

in tho JUT! of Columbia. Tho witnessso close to Mr. Gonzales that almost BIIOcould have touched bim testilica that hisfaco "was placid, perfectly calm, andthat ho aeemed absorbed in thoughtwhen tho shot was fired." Was Mr.Gonzales looking towards Tillman whenthe ball struck him ?

Do Good-lt Pays.A Chicago man has observed that

"Good deeds are bettor than real estatedocds-somo of tho latter aro worthless.Act kindly and gently, show sympathyand lend a holping hand. You cannotpossibly loso by it." Most mon appreci¬ate a kind word and encouragement morethan substantial help. Tbero nro por-sons in thia community who mighttruthfully say : "My good friends, ohoerup. A fow doses of Chamberlain'sCough Romody will rid you of your cold,and Un ie it« no danger whatever from

Fneumonía when you uso that modicino.t al wa;, s cnn. I know it, tor it baa
