TILLMAN FREED
VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL IN CELE-
DRAFTED CASE.
Jury Thought Former Lieutenant
Governor justified in Killing
Editor Gonzales - First Ballot
Stood Teu for Acqufttal and
Two for Conviction.

Lexington, S. c., Oct. 16.-James
II. Tillman, who was charged with the
murder of N. G.. Gonzales, editor of
The State. in Colubia, on Jan. IA last,
hsa been acquitted. The jury was out
20 hours before reaching verdict. The
trial lasted eighteen days. Soon after
the jury retired ballot was taken. the
result being ten to two in favor of &C.
quittal. After some elaboration one
of the two went over to the side of ac-
quittal, but it was not until about 20
minutes before the word jury sent word
to the court that an agreement had been
reached, that the twelfth man yielded.
The long delay caused apprehension
that ia mistrial would result. The jury
could not have staid out beyond Satur-
day night. The count in the indict-
ment charging the carrying of concealed
weapons was lost sight of in the trial
and was not considered.
Mr.. Tillman left the court room in
company with his attorneys, but part
ed with them at the front door to go
across the street to the Jail, visiting
that institution for the last time to
gather up his effects. He had been in
custody since January 15, his applica-
tion for bail having been refused.
Mrs. Tillman and the defendants
mother were not in ssthe court room
when the verdict was announced, but
the former had been apprised of the
agreement and was at the Jail to await
the announcement ard meet her hus-
band there. Later in the afternoon all
gathered at the hotel, where they re-
ceived their friends and relatives.
Mr.. lillian left on an afternoon train
for his home in Edgefeld, accompanied
by his wife and friends from his home
county.

SCORED BY COURT.
augment Given at Tacoma Against
Washington Match Co.

hktOu m0LC0 20.
Tacoma, Oct. 19.-Judge Smell, OF
tne superior curt, has gioven R. W.
DICK, OF Seattle; Florence Woods, and
). ). Mulholland judgment against the
washington Match Company for the
amount OF money they severally paid
the company for stock. The court in
its decision declares that the Washing
Ton Match Company was originated
purely and simply for the pun pose of
selling stock; that the corporation was
oegotten in fraud, and that "the whole
transaction is reeking with fraud and
corruption"
Inc Washington Match Company has
one OF the biggest manufacturing plants
In the city. More or less scandal has
oeen attached to the workings of the
institution for several years The court
IN Its review of the cases that have been
before it, says that from the evidence
given 1000 persons have bought stock
In the enterprise and paid therefor
about $50, 900 in money.
The company issued prospectus in
which IL claimed that it owned what
1t called Holes invention and patent
for wonderful machine that was capa-
BILE of making five times as many
matches at one-fitth the cost of labor
of any other machine in existence. The
prospectus also said the machine was
set up and making matches.
The court finds that Luuis T. Holes,
the pretended invento, OF the match
making machine, never had AMY such
invention as the machine advertised,
"or, in fact, any machine, and no pat
ent was ever issued for any match ma
chine" The court says just what has
become of the $4,000 paid into the
company for stock does not appear, and
intimates that it is question for the
prosecuting attorneys of Pierce and
King counties to investigate.
