WEDNESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

After DR.. Taylor's testimony,
commenced the day before, was
concluded in the morning, the State
introduced Il succession of witnes-
ses to establish the mental attitude
of Mr.. Gonzales preparatory to
the introduction of his declara-
tions. DR.. James II. Mcintosh
testified that he was "cool, calm
and collected, as much so as any
man | ever saw in condition SO
grave
DR.. McIntoh rode with him
alone in the ambulance to the hos,
pital. "Tell me, doctor, frankly,
am l mortally wounded!" the
,, witness swears that the sorely
stricken gentleman inquired. 81
am afraid that you are, Mr.. Con
zales," the doctor replied, and
Mr.. Gonzales responded, I
thought the fellow got me-" and
covered his face. Such, substan-
tally, was the laconic but pro-
foundly piteous story of this wit
ness.
M. G. Wallace, foreman of The
State company Job office, recalled,
told that Mr.. Gonzales, as he ,lay

Col. rilIman and, going to the
private room of Col Tillman at
the dinner hour, he asked him If
he would not 20 to the hotel with
nm for dinner, as they were both
stopping at the same place, and
Col. TilIman told him he could
not 90 for bali an hour. 1t was
during this half hour that the
shooting occurred, as Mr.. Dow
ling said that while ut dinner he
heard of the shooting and when
he went to the police station he
saw Col. Tillman, who inquired
about the wound, and in compli-
ance with tie request of Col. Till
man he went to the State Office
and saw Capt. w. T.. Gonzales
and asked him about the wound,
AMI with the information he re-
turned and gave an account to
Col. IiIlman, who told HIM that
If he hit him where he aimed that
Gonzales was sure dead man.
and that the ball would not change
its course DR.. Taylor had pre-
viously testified that the bullet
was fired from the side.
Mr.. Ambrose f. Gonzales, the
brother of the deceased editor,
was one of the important witnes-
ses of the day. He was the most
impressive witness who has thus
far been upon the stand for the
State. He was deeply affected,
and while keenly feeling every
word that he said, he weighed his
words, and made it plain that he
was hent upon doing full justice
TO the dead while intending not
word of harm to the living. He
spoke with distinctness and delib-
erateness. When asked about the
existence of illfeeling between
bis brother and Col. Tillman he
said: ~ think he said not every
thing he knew or believed, but
everything he said to his relatives
or friends he said in the State
newspaper, so that the people of
the State could know" and then
he added that his brother wrote
much more than he talked, and
that he did not do much talking.
The files of the State were offered
in evidence, and after considerable
sharp sparring the defence OBJ
tanned the use of the complete file
for inspection and examination of
the editorials, which are to figure
In the course of the trial.

physicians, a few other witnesses
were presented at the afternoon
session, and they offered some
strong evidence.
DR.. Lancaster, member Of
the House of Representatives,
testified that he saw a pistol in
Tillman's pocket before the day
of the shooting, and that he was
positive that it was q pistol.
Two bright little boys, Veddor
Zimmerman and Francis Smith,
testified that they saw pistol in
Tillman's pocket on the day be
fore the shooting, and that Till
man was standing on tho street
corner at the time and that the
pistol was plainly in evidence.
There were two witnesses to. day
upon the identity of the bullet
that was picked up near the scene
of the shooting. There is hard
tight as to admitting this bullet,
and has not yet passed the lines.
Mr.. Steiglitz testified that it could
have been shot from one of the
maga zine pistols such as was used,
and that it was of unusual calibre.
Mr.. w. B. Cause, who is also
member of the Assembly, tes-
tilted that he met Col Tillman and
a party of members on Main
street, and that they we're discuss
ing their boarding house, and
that while on that topic, Col.
Iiliman said when be !ef. home
he did not tell his wife anything,
but Just stuck some of those edi.
torlals in his pocket and thought
he might stop at the Penitentiary
Mr.. Cause, upon cross-examina
ton, testified that he regarded
this expression more as Joke
than anything else, and that ht
thought the editorials against Co
Illlman in the State were .sprett, ,
severe. y"
Following Mr.. Cause came
Capt, H. G. Arthur, Of Edge
field, who testified that while he
was going into stable at Edge
field he saw Col. Tillman talking
to Major Anderson and other.
and that while going by them he
: heard them talking about Coma
les, and Tillmau said: eff there

The defense let this 60 by
without much opposition, anl
may offer some plausible explain
alton as to what it meant. Capt
Arthur was positive that the ex-
preston was used in connection
: with Mr.. Gonzales, and then inn
mediately following up Capt. Ar
l thurs testimony, was that of Mr.
Broadwater, who swore that b,
went to the stable directly afte

in The News and Courier.
TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

ed proglcss was made TO day in
the trlal OF the case against james
II. 1lIIman, charged with the
murder Of NUrcisso q. Gonzales.
The State presented a strong line
or witnesses and they did much
toward the development of the
case against James H. TilIman.
Ihe prosecution to-day showed
by overwhelming evidence that
Mr.. Gonzales was MOI tally
wounded and that at no time was
there the slightest reasonable ex.
pectation of saving his life. 1t
also showed that the use of for
malin as last resort was harm
less, and could have done no in
jury. The State showed that the
Luger bullet produced wound
winch left no hope whatever to
the surgeons, after the incision
anu examination of the wound.
Dr. Query, DR.. B. w. Taylor,
DIR. d. 5. Pope and DR.. Griffith
all regarded the case of Gonzales
as hopeless, and decl,red that
nothing more than was done could
have been uniiertaken to save the
life of Mr.. Gonzales.
The matter of the ing de.
claration will be one of >rious
iealures OF the case. by
inch the able counsel( Aded
as to whether the dqp 1eclara-
tion shall be admit.u,. or not.
Inc State did not to day expec,
to ask for the acceptance in evi.
dence of u long dying declaration
made by Mr.. Gonzales, but only
to begin work toward that end.
The fight, however, began rather
unexpectedly, when DR.. Pope
testified that as nc leaned over tC
speak to MIR. Gonzales to express
the hope that he was not serious
ly hurt, Gonzales replied, 81 an
killed. These three words oc-
casioned fully a three hour argu.
ment as to thclr admissi bility
The State contended that thi, wa!
a link in the evidence, indicating
that Mr.. Gonzales considered hi,
chances were, and the defence in,
sisted that imminent danger o.
death had not been proven anc
that the expression was not com
petent. The argument on the ad
mission of the words, "I am kill
ed,' was thorough, and finall }
Judge Gary decided that it coult
be admitted as link in a chair
OF evidence, on which to admit 6
dying declaration. If such {
chain were not completed, the ex

The defence entered an objection
upon the record to this decision
and then, closely following, th,
defence entered It's second forma
objection.
DR.. Lancaster, member of th
House of Representatives.; We'd

Politica, Economists.

While great fortunes and great In
dustries have almost invariably been
created by unetucated men, parpenus
unembarrassed with learning. who
taught themselves what they found
necessary to know. we find, ON the 9TH
er hand, that those men who have made
commercial science, political economy,
their study nave not shown any sue
cess in business and have remained
theorists. Most political economists
have had to live ON their pen. Mr.. Cob
den went bankrupt in business. 1t is
true that Ricardo was well off, but he
was stocilbroller by trade, and with
him political economy was only a hob

A Lake Of Many wonders.

Lake Chad, in Africa. is 1S5 miles
long and SO miles wide, or somewhat
larger in area than Lake Erie, yet it is
only twenty-five feet deep in its deep
est part and only five feet in its eastern
side.
1t has eighty islands, some barren.
others only pasture land and some Gov
cred with forests and millet plantatio
and having total population Of about
$4,000.
Storms arise with surprising quick
ness on the lake, and the shallowness
of the water forces up big waves at
short notice, while treacheruus gusts
and puffs of wind about the islands
make navigation dangerous.

For whole year the famous English

his last visit the patient said: Here,
doctor, is purse III which I have put
every days fee. You must not let
your Kindness get the better of my
gratitude; so please take it." The gen.
erous physician put out his hand to re-
ject the purse, but the chink of the gold
was too much for his a1niable resolu-
ton. SO he put it in his pocket, saying,
