CRIME IN SHADOW OF CAPITOL
TWO MEN HAD BEEN SWORN EN-.
EMIEs OWING TO POLITICAL
DIFFERENCES.
ONLY ONE CHANCE IN FIVE TO LIVE
THREATS OF SUMMARY VEN
GEANcE AGAINST TlLLMAN
ARE HEARD.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. IL. = In the
state house Lieut.. Gov. James H. Till
man yesterday afternoon shot and
seriously wounded Narcissus Generi
Gonzales, editor of the State, news
paper that has bitterly opposed Lieut..
Gov. Tillman in politics. The two
men have been sworn enemies and
Tillman's animosity was accentuated
by Gonzales opposition to his candi-
dacy for governor last fall. In that
campaign Gonzales made editorial
reference to Tillman as a "liar, scoun-
drel and debauchee." A challenge to
a duel followed, but Gonzales ignored
it.
It is rumored that the immediate
cause for the attack was message
sent Wednesday by Gonzales to Till
man. Wednesday night at the Column
bia hotel Lieut.. Gov. Tillman said to a
group of his friends:
Gonzales has sent me word that
when we meet again we shall settle
our differences with pistols"
Sent No Message.
Gonzales friends deny that he sent
a message of any character to Till
man.
Statements of the eye witnesses to
the tragedy are somewhat conflicting,
and it cannot be stated positively
whether or not any words passed be-
tween the men before the shot was
fired. Tillman was arrested and con-
fined in the county Jail pending the
outcome of Gonzales injuries. The
affair caused great excitement in the
city, which is filled with politicians,
who are here to participate in the in
auguration of the new state govern
ment.
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman's term will ex-
pire in few days. Some expressions
Of a desire for summary vengeance
were heard on the streets after the
shooting, but nothing of a serious
character occurred.
Surgeons performed an operation
upon Gonzales at the city hospital late
in the afternoon. The operation was
regarded as successful, but in the
judgment of the physicians the wound
ed man has only
One Chance in Five
to live. His constitution and habits of
life, however, are stated to be greatly
in his favor. The wound is an ugly
one, the liver and intestines being
punctured.
In a statement before the operation
Mr.. Gonzales made it plain that he
sought no difficulty, that to avoid a
collision with Tillman, who was walk
ing with two senators, he cut across
the pavement and passed by without
touching or speaking, and that Till
man pulled his pistol and fired. Con.
zales then spoke to Tillman and told
him to shoot again, you coward"
Gonzales said he saw Tillman two
days before and Tillman saw him. AS
to sending any message to Tillman he
said he had not done so. And he was
positive Tillman fired before he said a
word
