GIVE UP HOPE
Editor Gonzales Has Taken a
Change For the Worse.
TILLMAN REMAINS IN JAIL
NO BAIL OFFERED FOR THE
WOULD-BE MURDERER.

! COLUMBIA, 6. c., Jan. 1S.-At 6:15
p. m, Dr. Query issued the fol-
lowing bulletin as to the condi-
ton of Editor Gonzales:
Wound dressed and found to be in
satisfactory condition. Draining from
| the wound was in healthy condition
Patient stood the dressing very well,
indeed. Pulse, 122; tempera ture, IO2;
/ respiration, 30.''
| The symptoms tonight are more fav-
/ Orable than at any time since Lieu
i tenant Governor Tillman shot the edit
| or last Thursday, but it is impossible
to give any promise as to the ultimate
result The physicians say that Con
/ zales is holding his own. and that he
| probably has passed the period of dan
/ ger from peritOnitis. The wound in
! the liver is not a source of danger, but
serious developments may occur with
! in the next few days. The physicians
said today that if Mr.. Gonzales lived
until Tuesday without unfavorable de-
YelOpments, he would likely have an
| even chance for recovery This even
ing there was return of nausea and
/ more restlessness than the physicians
wished to see, and they are watching
anXiously for relief from these dis
turbances.
DIR. W. Gill Wylie of New York, who
left here last night for Rockhill, is
/ returning tonight It is desired that
| he should be in consultation at the
present stage of the patients condition.
In the churches OF Columbia today,
there has been heard earnest prayers
for the life of the stricken editor In
all the leading churches the ministers
offered special supplications. All re-
ferred in high terms of tribute to the
services of the wounded man to the
city and the state.
There have been no developments in
the affair today beyond the fluctuations
In the wounded mans condition Lieu
tenant Governor Tillman is still in Jail
and no applications have been made
Tor his release on bail. 1t is cOnsid-
cred practically certain that none
would be entertained so long as the
condition Of Mr.. Gonzales remains
critical. Except for an unwarranted
and untrue newspaper report that one
of the Gonzales family had expressed
desire to get a chance at Tillman,"
there has been no recurrence of talk
of violence TO the lieutenant governor
There has been no expression from any
member of the Gonzales family that
could be interpreted into q threat
against Tillman. and there has been no
trace of mob spirit.
