tenant Governor James II. Tillman this
afternoon shot Mr.. N. G.. Gonzales,
editor of The State newspaper. At this
hour, s p. M, Mr.. Gonzales is still liv-
ing, but the general impression seems
to prevail that the wound is fatal.
The shooting occurred about lac
O'Clock on Main street, near Gervais,
just in front of the street car transfer
office.
Mr.. Tillman and Senator Talbird, of
Beaufort, were walking together from
the State house. Just after crossing
Gervais, at the corner, they met Mr..
Gonzales. Without word, so far as
can be ascertained, Mr.. Tillman drew his
pistol and fired. A boy who happened
to be near said that Immediately after
the shot was fired Mr. Tilman said:
you'll stop that now"
Another report is to the effect that
Mr.. Tillman upon meeting Mr.. Con-
zales said: 81 received your message"
and fired.
Another still says that these words
were used by Mr.. Tillman Immediately
after the shot
Inquiry fails to reveal any indication
of message having been sent by Con-
zales to Tillman.
: Mr.. Gonzales when shot clasped his
hands to his stomach and was in the act
of falling when caught by gentlemen
who rushed to the scene. Supported he
walked to the State office, only about
hundred yards off.
$ Col. Tillman was placed under arrest
and is now in Jail.
Y The Evening Record states that Sena-
tor Talbird, who was with Mr.. Tillman
said when asked about the affair that
nothing was said, that there was no
quarrel.
The pistol used by Mr.. Tillman was
very large QUE. There was only one
shot fired, the bullet entering Mr.. Con
zales stomach passing through and fall
ing to the ground. 1t was 33 calbre.
+ Col. Tillman was Immediately arres-
ted and taken to the station house.
There he made no statement. Later he
was called upon by Senator Talbird and
h Hon. f. H. Dominick. These gentle
( men had been with him only a few
moments when the sheriff drove up in
carriage and carried Mr.. Tillman to
jail
This is said to have been the first
meeting between Mr. Gonzales and
SMr. Tillman since the campaign,
l Mr. Gonzales very vigorously opposed
SMr. Tillman in his race for the gov
8ernorship.
