GONZALES IS STILL ALIVE
F'ud ViCtin Lingers and Almost Inspires
.. Doctors with Hope.
TllMAN GIVES NEW VERSION OF AFFAIR
Claims He Thought Editor was About
TO shoot and Fired First I'm
order TO Save His own
Life.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan. 16.-N. G. Con-
zales, who was shot by the lieutenant gov
ernor yesterday, was holding his own to-
night, but the crisis is yet to come.
The best doctors in this part of the state
are doing all they can to save his life, but
hold out little hope OF his recovery. At
the same time Mr.. Gonzales is making
plucky fight for life. AS he has a strong
constitution. excellent habits and reso-
lutte will it is thought there is a chance
that he may pull Through, notwithstanding
his critical condition and the serious ma
ture Of the wound.
All day long sympathetic crowds gath
cred around the bulletin board on Main
street and expressed ardent hopes for the
recovery of the stricken man. All the in
formation obtainable was the bulletins Of
the physicians posted on the boards, no
one, not even members OF his family, being
permitted to see the patient.
Pray in schools and Colleges.
This morning when the city schools as
sembled and prayers were said, they in
cluded an appeal to God for the recovery Of
Mr.. Gonzales. At the South Carolina col
iege prayers were offered for the recovery
OF the stricken editor. and even in the
senate chamber, where Lieutenant Gov
ernor Tillman had presided shortly before
the shooting, the chaplain prayed that the
Almighty would save the life of Mr.. Con-
zales.
Reports of threats against Tillmans life,
in the event of MIR. Gonzales death, are
baseless, as It is his wish and that of his
closest friends that the matter should be
left for the courts.

during the night.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman took things
calmly and quietly during the day in the
county Jail, where he had a comfortable
room on the second floor He had some
new furniture brought in and made himself
comfortable Some visitors called upon
him, but most OF the day was spent in con,
sultation with his lawyers.
TiIIman Issues Statement.
His counsel gave out the following state
ment, prepared by Tillman himself:
1 can only say that when the truth of the
unfortunate affair is known my friends
as well as the people, will know how thor

weapon in his coat pocket and that he had
his hands in his pocket as though almost

He is said to contend that he had every
reason to believe that Mr.. Gonzales was
armed, though the latter's friends say he
was not.
Mr.. Tillman also will claim that when
he aimed his pistol the second time at
Mr.. Gonzales he did so expecting Mr..
Gonzales TO defend himself and that he
lowered his weapon because there was no
response and not becaue OF anything Mr..
