*.~ 00 1 Qfll frn Spntemheriiuu-i iiiaitu ««, r

16, 1902, were read for the defense

by Mr. Rembert of Counsel.T. D. Mitchell testified that some

time in September of last year hehad a conversation with Mr Gonzalesin reference to the editorial attacksof the State upon Col. Tillman andsaid: We met together just aboutthe corner of Gervais street. Just as

I crossed from the opera house side

he was coming down Main and we

went together like two streams wouldcome together. We turned down

Gervais street, going east, and I.i. pvoninc. and

opu&o III UllU. vavvx _ ,

said, Don't ycu think it is about time

you would let up on old Jim ? He

said. No I don't, and as long as he

fffars himself for public office I expectto give it to him. He is a cur

and as he offers himself for a publicoffice I expect to put it oo him. Hehas proven himself a coward on everyoccasion. He proved itwith DeCamp.I said, I tbiDk. Mr. Gonzales, youare mistaken. I never knew a Tillmanyet who was a coward; I thinkit was politics that caused him to

take what DeCamp said as be didHe looked npon it as a premeditateddifficulty to ruin his chances forelection and that is why be permittedhim to say what he did. He said: Ican slap his face and be would notresent it. I said, if you ever try to

slap his face you will find out you are

Via/iio miafftVen. He said: He is aVtAUIJ

ear and I would not be afraid to slapbis face. He would not resent it. I

said, If you ever try to do it, you willfind you are mistaken. He said: Ifbe ever bats his eyes at me, I will fillbim so full of lead he will not be ableto tote it off.Q Then, when you met Col. Tiilmanat the Columbia hotel, you told

* bim that between the first and second

primary ? Yes, I told him I met Mr.^ GoDzales and asked him if it was not

about time be would let up on bimand Mr. Gonzales said, no, be was a

cur, and as long as be offered himselffor public office he expected to

fight bim: that be bad proven himselfa cur with DeCamp and be could

slap bis face and be would not resentit. And I said I told bim Ithought be would finn out bis mistakeif be tried it, and be said if beev8r batted bis eyes at bim be wouldfill bim so full of lead be would not

be abl6 to tote it off, and fhat was

about the end of tbe conversation.A J. Flowers, a conductor od the

street cars of Columbia, sworn, says:During the summer of 1902, was in

eharge of car No. 8, from GraobvMill to Waverly. Granby Mill is below

the Union depot and Waverly ison the other side of the city near the

i

old Blanding street depot.A party of four gentlemen got on

at Lady street among them Mr. NG. Gonzales; they were on the backseat smoking. I had a big load of

passengers and was going around tothem collecting fares and helping theladies and little children off, and Igot pretty close to them collectingfares and they were discussing politics,the three men and Mr. Gonzales,and I just overheard what I did hear.I heard him tell them that if he didnot succeed in defeating Mr. Tillmanin the governor's cffioe that he wouldnever be seated, because he wouldkill the rascal.

k Mr. Nelson then introduced in evi- jdence and read the following letter:

appear for ycur defense.I was conductor No. 32 for ColumbiaSt. Ry. Co. and there was a party

of four(4) men and X. G. G..was jthe only one I knew. They were jdiscussing politics, end as Iwasstan- jing near of course their remarks attractedmy attention.Gonzeles said that ifyou were elect-

ed, ycu would never be seated? forif there were no other alternative, hewould kill the damn sun of-a-bitch.if you are not sure that ihis testimonywill be of service to you, I would liketo take no part in the trial; still I feelit my duty to give any testimony thatI know to be true, if it will be of anyservice to you. JtLopmgyou win bood

A. J. Blalock of Columbia, says:Mr. Stroud and Mr. Gonzales were

talking something about the election,it seems to me. Mr. Gonzales askedhim how was the voters in the milldistrict; that was Ward 5,1 believe,and Stroud told him that he thoughtthe votes, most of them, were for Col.Tillman, and that Col. Tillman was

near two to one ahead in that ward;and Mr. Hughes walked up; myselfand Mr. Hughes walked up, abouttfca* time, and Mr. Hughes asked MrGrilles didn't he think that he hadtreated Col. Tillman with great injustice;and he said no, that theblack-legged gambler would be treatedwith more injustice after theelection, even if it was with lead?that was to best of my knowledge.

Victor B. Cheshire, a printer workingon the Anderson Intelligencer,says: I told Col. TillmaD, when Iwas returning on the train from Newberryto Anderson that Mr. Greerornf in pnnrflPBfth'nn wifh andasked me was we army boys going tovote and work for Jim Tillman likewe did before. I told him yes. Isuppose so; I was. He told me howdirty and low-down Jim Tillman was

and I told him no use to tell me, thatI expect I knew more about JimTillman than he did.Henry S. Head testified that he

went to Columbia with Col. Tillmanto see about a pardon for a friend,and that while there Mr. Gonzalescame up to him and asked him if hewas the man who had been ridingwith Col. Tillman, and bsing toldthat he was. Mr. Gonzales askedhim where Col. Tillman then was.

Head fold Mr, Gonzales that he hadleft Col. Tillman at the transfer stationcorner. Mr. Head stated thathe bad never known Mr. Gonzales,but that he was told that it was Mr.Gonzales who made the inquiry ofhim as to where Col. Tillman was.

Mr. Hedgeman Sims testified tothe same points as did Mr. Head andbe bad told Mr. Head tbat it wasMr. Gonzales wbo bad made tbe inquiryof hira as to where Col. Tillmanthen was.

Capt. Richard Anderson wbo was

an employee of the United StatesSenate, denied in toto the evidence ofCapt. Arther, wbo was a witness fortbe prosecution. He said that Col.Tillman had never had a conversationwith him in tbe stable, as sworn

to, and that be bad never beard Col.Tillman say, If I could only get athim (Gonzales.) He said there was

nothing in the testimony of Capt.Arthur.James Davis testified that Editor

Terrell was r istaken in saying thatCol. Tillman made threats againstMr. Gonzales in the alleged conversatinon the train, and asserted as a

positive fact that Col. Tillman madeno tnreat3 wnatever.Hon. Cole L. Blease testified that

he was the owner of odc of the pistolstaken from the person of Col. Tillman;that from threats that badbeen made he deemed it a advisablethat Col. Tillman sbonld go armed toprotect his life and he, Blease, hadloaned Tillman this pistol.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.No one who is acquainted with its

good qualities can be surprised at thegreat popularity of Chamberlain'sCv.ugb Remedy. It not oniy cu»es

colde and grip effectually and permanently,but prevents these diseasesfrom resulting in pneumonia. It isalso a certain cure for crcup. Whooping

cough is not dangerous when thisremedy is given. It contains no

opium or other harmful substanceand may be given as confidently to a

baby as to an aduit. It is also pleasantto take. When all of these facts

are taken into consideration it is notsurprising that people in foreignlands, as well as at home, esteem thisremedy very highly and very few are

willing to take any other after havingonce used it. For sale by TheKaufmann Drug Company.
