Noted South Carolina Murder
Case Ends.
The Jury This Morning at 10 O'clock
Returned Verdict OF
Not Guilty.
HAD CASE SINCE YESTERDAY.

Lexington, S. O.. Oct i5.-The
jury this morning returned verdict
of aequittal in the j. II. Tillman
murder trial.
The closing arguments were made
yesterday and at Lac p. nj. Judge
Gary gave the case to the jury. TIE
arguments consumed two and half
days
Col. Croft made the closing address
for the defendant, and final appeal for
his acquittal, In summing up the de-
PENDANTS case he dwelt upon the testi-
mony Of witnesses for the defense rel
alive TO the position of Gonzales
hands as he approached Tillman. He
also pressed the point that the defend
ant was to be judged in the light of
circumstances as they appeared to him.
Counsel having concluded, Judge
Gary Immediately proceeded to charge
the jury. Having defined homicide,
the court instructed the jury that the
defendant set up plea of self-defense,
and that to sustain that plea he mus.
satisfy the jury by preponderance of
evidence, not beyond reasonable doubt,
of four things. That he was without
fault in bringing on the difficulty;
that he believed at the time it was
necessary to take the life of his ad-
versary to save his own life, or to save
himself from serious bodily harm !;
that man of ordinary firmness, pru-
dence and courage in like situation
would have come to the same con-
clusion and that he had no probable
mean of escape.
The court further said ut ia
necessary for the State to establish it's
case to your satisfaction beyond
reasonable doubt, not slight, vague or
whimsical doubt"
Concluding the court said:
Gentlemen, bring to bear on the
case your best Judgment ami find a
verdict according to the facts, disre-
garding any outside claim or that too
many homicides have gone unpunish-
ed "
The prisoner was charged with the
murder of Editor G onzales, of the
State, and his plea was that he thought
Gonzales made motion as if to draw
weapon just before he, Tillman, shot
him.

Weather Sions.

The color OF the sky at particular
times affords a wonderfully good guide
to the weather to be expected within
the coming twenty-four hours. Not
only does a rosy sunset presage good
weather and rudy sunset bad
weather, but bright yellow sky in
the evening indicates wind; pale
yellow rain. If in the morning the
sky is of neutral gray color, the
indications for good day may be
considered favorable. Generally
speaking. it may be said that any
deep or unusual hue in summer be-
tokens either wind OR rain.

APPROACHING FISTIC BATTLE.

AS August IA approaches, dis
patches from Hardin Springs
and San Francisco are multiply
ing rapidly, for advertising pur-
poses. The excitement will soon
have to be stirred up in the East
in order to make it profitable to
the pugilits, as it requires near
" a week for travellers to get to
San Francisco from the Atlantic
coast and nearly four days to
reach the ringside from Chicago.
But the Pacific coast has become
so we'll settled up, and the mixed
population is Of a generally
sporty turn, SO the attendance
at the fstic battle will probably
be large, whether many come
from the east or not.
Latest accounts from the train
ING quarters are to the effect
that Jeffries and Corbett are
assiduously hardening their
flesh and strengthening their
muscles. Corbett has been do
ing most of the Dragging, but OF
late there have been quite as
loud and enthusiastic counter
claims from the Jeffries train
ing quarters. Jeffries looks like
an OK in comparison with Corbett,
it is said, and if his bulk does not
represent a large share of fab
biness he ought to stand up
against anything Corbett can
throw at him in the way of fists.
On the other hand. the cham
pion looks too heavy to be
sprightly, and if Corbett can
dance away from him after de-
livering his blows he may be able
to outlast the twenty rounds and
win the fight on points.
