James Rinson Shot Dead in tae
Streets Of Greeavisle by John
GoodWir---They Seemed
Friendly.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
GreenvilIe, Feb. 10.-A fatal shoot
ing took place between 5 and 6 O'Clock
this afternoon on Washington street by
which James Hinson lost his lie IN
the twinkling of an eye. His slayer
was John Goodwin, young man not
more than 20 years OF age, who was
clerk in a store OF Finlay Bros hin
son was horse dealer who worked at
Pates & Aliens livery stable.
The two men had been together tor
several hours and apparently there
was no cause for the trouble which
arose over the purchase Of bottle OF
liouor that Goodwin had in his pos
session. They had crossed the street
in the presence of several persons, and
Goodwin had walked ahead some io!s-
tance when eHinson called after. him
and said he must have some Of it, sup
nosed to be the LIQUOR. Goodwin bad
gone about 50 feet from Hinson, when
Returned around and drew his pistol,
firing the first shot in the air and then
in straight line fred directly at Hin
son: the second shot striking Hlnson
in the left breast and going through
the heart. He died almost instantly
and was carried into the Office Of Thack-
son & Son. Goodwin Immediately
surrendered to a policeman and was
afterwards taken to jail. He is we'll
connected and has been regarded very
fayorably since he came here from the
country. Hinson has been living here
for several years, but went back oc-
casionally to, North Caeolina, where
be has wife, and two children. He
was about 81 years old and a strong,
athletic man. 1t is another case OF
pistols and whiskey as there does not
seem to have been any previous quar-
rel rel, and an eye witness 10 the shoot
ing m says that ne was with them not
ten minutes Before the fatal shot was
fred, when they were friendly SO far
as he knew.

TILLMAN,s AFFIDAVIT.

Before ne personally appeared Jas.
H. Tillnaan who being duly sworn
saws: Taat the statement herein made
so far as he is informed and believes,
it is proper to make. st this time, IS as
follows: That for more than year and
possibly longer, n. G. Gonzales has
vilifed deponent, pursuing him un-
relentingly with malice and venom
which deponent believes was never
equalled in the history OF this State,
charging him with being a liar, black
guard, rogne, debauchee and villain
and such other epithets. Every act Of
deponent has been distorted and dis
colored by hate and venom OF Gonzales:
That though innocent he was called
upon to endure these. Inasmucn as de
ponent was public officer. That be
bore all this with patience although
his private life, heretofore considered
sacred was invaded, discussed and
aeld up to public derision. That de-
pone2t had been informed that during
tue campaign there was d Tumor that
Gonzales had said if Tillmaa Rad said
the same things in Columbia that he
said elsewhere there would be a per
sonal encounter il which one would
die. peponent was repeatedly urged
and warned to look out for bis safety
while in Columbia, by various parties.
Deponent was Informed that Gonzales
came to tie State house and inquired
for deponent and said that he had
made deponent show the white feather
on several occasions and intended tc
make him do it again. That deponent
verify believes that n. G. Gonzales
at that time was armed. Deponent was
still anxious to avoid an alteration
if it could be done honorably. lnas-
much as deponent was about to retire
from the Office be was removing his
personal belongings from the State
house to his room in the hotel and
among other things it became neces-
sary to remove two pistols, one the
property of deponent, the other left
in the room by some one not known,
but presumably some friend. While
carrying these weapons to his room,
while upon Main street, be observed
n. G. Gonzales coming directly to-
wards him glaring at deponent, and
with his hands IN his oyercoat pock-
cts. Suddenly be pushed his band
into his pocket on the right side and
turned towards deponent. Said Con
zales was all the time glaring straight
at deponent. Believing his life in
danger, deponent hurriedly said, /
got our message, and fired. De
ponent believed then and believes now
that Gonzlaes was armedand intended
to kill him. That he was desirous Of
avoiding difficulty with Mr.. Con
zales if he could. When Gonzales cut
across was the time deponent saw him
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1903-02-18

thrust his hand in his pocket. That
deponent when he left the State house
didn't know he was going to meet Con
zales on the street. Deponent believes
Gonzales was about to draw a pistol
upon him and therefore be fired upon
him. DePonent fired to save himself,
believing his life was in danger. y
