DEADLY REVENGE.
Lieut.. Gov. Til1mnn. of South Caro-
lima. shoots an Editor at Column
bin Who Denounced Him.

Columbia, S. c.. Jan. 16.-ln the
very shadow of the South Carolina
state house Lieut.. Gov. James ii.
Tillman yesterday afternoon SHOT
and probably mortally wounded Mar
cisso G. Gonzales. founder and editor
OF the Columbia State, a newspaper
which since its inception has bitterly
opposed the Tillman faction in South
Carolina politics.
His condition and the details OF the
tragedy are almost the only topics OF
conversation in South Carolina.
kilograms came throughout the day
from all parts of the state and from
many places beyond its borders ex-
pressing sympathy and asking for the
latest. newsas to his condition.
Friday morning, when the city
schools assembled and prayers were
said. they included IN appeal to God
for the recovery of Mr.. Gonzales. At
the South Carolina college prayers
were offered for the recovery of the
stricken editor, and even in the senate
chamber, where Lieut.. Gov. Tillman
had presided shortly before the shoot
ing, the chaplain prayed that the Al
mighty would save the life of Mr..
Gonzales.
1t is understood here that MI. Till
mans line of defense will be that he
thought Gonzales was armed and that
he had a weapon in his coat pocket and
that he had his hands in his coat
pocket. He is said to contend that he
had every reason to believe that Mr..
Gonzales was armed. MI. Gonzales
friends state that he was not armed.
Mr.. Tillman will claim that when he
aimed his pistol the second time at
Mr.. Gonzales that he did so expecting
Mr.. Gonzales to defend himself and
that he lowered his weapon because
there was no response and not because
of anything Mr.. Gonzales said. Mr..
Tillman, it is understood, also will con-
tend that he had not met Mr.. Gonzales
before. This is denied by Mr.. Gonzales
friends, who say Mr.. Gonzales and Mr..
Tillman were in the senate chamber
and the state capitol together.
