WHY TILLMAN SHOT HIM
He Had Been Convicted of Falsehood

is Washington, Feb. Representative
Johnson of South Carolina tells an inter
esting story which eplains, in part at
least, ,the enmity- between Lieutenant
Governor James .Tillman of that state and
N. G.. Gonzales, the editor, which resulted
In the fatal shooting of the latter a short
time ago.
AS lieutenant governor it is Tillnlan' s
duty to act as president Of the state sem
ate. Nearly two years ago a question
arose in that body in connection with the
legislative matter then pending. There
was some spirited debate as to how it
should be decided, and the senate was ad-
journed until the following day to give
Tillman an opportunity to look up prece-
dents. " ~ ~
Meanwhile the lieutenant governor tele-
graphed Speaker Henderson Of the house
of representatives and President pro tenn
Frye Of the senate, asking their opinion.
The replies came in due course, but they
did not suit Tillman's purposes, evidently,
for when the state senate convened on the
following day he handed his decision on
| the point in question, ruling eactly the
! opposite to the advice Of Henderson and
Frye, at the same time announcing that
he had consulted; those authorities and
| that they sustained him:
| There was considerable protest, and the
committee on rules undertook to investi-
gate the matter. Gonzales especially was
| dissatisfied with the ruling Of the lienten'
ant governor, and on his own responsible
ity telegraphed to Frye and Henderson
In reply they sent copies Of the dispatches
originally sent to Tillman. These were
reproduced in Gonzales newspaper; thus
exposing Tillman and convicting: him of {
| falsehood.
! Lieutenant Governor Til1nan was mucl
enraged at this action. and from that tin'
his hatred of Gonzales grew. This Incl
dent, according to Representative John
son, Is the true story of the origin of tn
bitter feud between the two men which
ended so disastrously,

yesterday ratified the Alaskan, boundary
