TILLMAN GROWS ANXIOUS.
Slayer Of Gonzales Fears He Will Not
Get Fair Trial.

A dispatch last night to the Baltimore
Sun from Columbia, S. c., says: Affidavits
were read in the circuit court today on the
motion for change of venue in the case of
James H. Tillman. formerly lieutenant gov
ernor of South Carolina. who killed N. G..
Gonzales editor Of the State. in this city
last January. The reading was not COM
pleted.
The aff1davits for Tillman were to the eff
feet that residents of Columbia had fire.

that he ought to be hung. and that such a
sentiment was general and of such a strong
character that he could not get fair trial.
with a prominent family, not named.
prayed for Tillman's conviction. and that
pastors of churches had preached sermons
against him. The course Of the local news
papers was declared to be such that public
sentiment has been aroused against Till
man. There were 1856 aff1davits on that
side.
The affidavits for the state are nearly
equal in number. but only about fifty have
been read. They are made by prominent
bankers. merchants. physicians, lawyers,
county officials and pastors Of all the
churches in Columbia. The ministers with
one accord deny that they ever preached
sermons remotely limiting at the case.
The proprietors of the State, the news
paper which N. G. Gonzales edited, declare
that 1t was their policy. which was faith
fully carried out, not to print anything cal
culated to prejudice the minds of the pub-
lie. because the policy of that paper had
always been on the side of law and order,
and individually they desired that Tillman
should have a fair and impartial trial.
Counsel on each side contested every
point The prosecution is conducted by
Solicitor ]. William Thurmond. assisted by
Messrs. G.. Duncan Bellinger formerly at
torney general: Andrew Crawford and Will
liam Elliott. jr. The defense is represent
ed by George w. Croft of Aiken, the law
partner of Tillman; ex-Judge o. w. Buch-

woman never came back and the husband
did not materialize
