This Mornings Proceedings.


LEXINGTON, S. c., October 13.-For
the first time since the beginning OF
the Tillman trial the court house has
been filled with people, many Of them
coming over from Columbia on spe-
cial trains.
The most sensational speech so far
in the case was that Of Mr.. P. H. Mel
son for the defense, this morning. Mr.
Nelson began by declaring that the
newspapers not only Of South Caro-
lima; but Of the entire country have
been endeavoring to arouse prejudice
against the defendant; that even the
attorneys have been maligned for de-
Tending him. He referred to the sug-
gestion of the New York World that
the newspapers Of the country sub
scribe funds for the employment OF
prosecuting attorneys.
Mr.. Nelson spoke for two hours, ad-
dressing himself over half Of this time
to a review Of political matters, and
a. discussion of the character Of N. G.
Gonzales whom he described as a self
constituted dictator. The last half OF
his speech was devoted to a review
Of the testimony as to the killing.
Mr.. Andrew Crawford Is now ad-
dressing for the prosecution. Two 9TH
ers, Croft, for the defense and Bellin-
ger for the prosecution. are to finish
tho arpunent this afternoon.

THE TILLMAN TRIAL.
Argument Commenced Yesterday and
Still In Progress.

Argument Commenced Yesterday and
Still In Progress.
Argument in the case Of James H.
Tillman on trial for the murder Of N.
G. Gonzales, was commenced yester-
day morning.
1t was agreed that there would be
only four speeches on the part of the
defense and it was understood yester-
day that there were to be five on the
part Of the prosecution.
In accordance with the arrangement
Solicitor Thurmond opened for the
prosecution. He was followed by Geo.
r. Rembert, of the defense, then VIM.
Elliott, Jr., followed for the prosecu-
ton.
Attorney Rembert, in opening for the
defense, devoted his arguments, first
to a reference to the States editorials
and their influence upon the defendant
and to defense Of a witness for the
defense whose evidence was attacked
by the State. He said the defense did
not COHCSOG lIldl NIL. S1oiiAea1So "SNS NNN
armed at the time Of the shooting. He
contended that the defendant believed
his life was in danger when he met Mr..
Gonzales.
Attorney William Elliott, following
for the State, said Mr.. Tillman has
recourse to the courts If he sought vim
dication on account of the editorials in
the State. He said Mr.. Gonzales did
not write all that appeared in the edi-
torials before the jury, saying some OF
the utterances were copied from other
newspapers. A statement made by
Mr.. Gonzales, which was taken down
at the hospital in short hand, was be-
cause the stenographer was secretary
of Mr.. Gonzales.
There was some talk to the effect
that Tillman would address the jury In
his own behalf; but this seems doubt
full.

BY the construction of this cutoff
the Santa Fe will have d second 1000
