TlLLMAN ACQUITTED.
Crowd In the Court Room AppIauds the
Verdict.

The jury in the case of James H.
Tillman, charged with the murder Of N.
G.. Gonzales, agreed upon a verdict at
10.45 yesterday morning after having
been out since LAP Wednesday after
noon.
1t is stated that the first ballot by the
jury resulted ten for acquittal and two
for conviction. The next ballot showed
eleven for acquittal and the twelfth
man held out until after 10 o'clock yes
terday morning when he also went
with the majority.
When court convened yesterday
morning it took up civil business that
was pending, and after about fifteen
minutes was interrupted by knocking
at the door. There were only a few
spectators in the court room at the
time, and most Of these were newspa-
per men. The news spread rapidly,
however, and within a very few min
utes a crowd had collected to hear the
verdict.
Previous to the reading of the ver-
dict, the court warned the spectators
against any demonstration whatever;
but the warning was of no effect, Col.
Tillman's friends giving vent to their
feelings in a loud shout.
Counsel for the defense Immediately
made a motion for the discharge Of the
prisoner, and as there was no objec-
ton on the part of the State, the or
der was promptly signed, whereupon
Col. Tilman. after accepting the con-
gratulations of many of his friends,
went out on the street, where he met
his mother who was on her way to the
court house. His wife remained at the
hotel. Shortly after his acquittal, Col.
Tilman gave out the following state

THE action of those Lexington law
yers in going after an alleged SLAM
derer with pistols, last Tuesday night
ought not to be allowed to pass with
out a word of comment. Possibly the
thing would not have been quite SO
bad had the lawyers not been so fresh
from arguing that J. H. Tillman should
have appealed to the law instead OF
the pistol. But when sworn officers
of the law, as all lawyers are, are sc
prone to violence and lawlessness, how
could any more be expected Of the
laity? If one Of the witnesses for the
defense really did circulate slander
against Mr.. Asbill, then Mr.. Asbill
should have prosecuted him. He was
not justified in trying to take the
law in his own hands.
