THB TnLMAN TRIAL.
Cole. L. BleaSe and Mrs. NJ. A. Evans Tes-
tify for DefenSe-It Was Blease's
P1St0l-MrS. Evans Ex-
pected Tragedy.
Especial to Herald and News


Lexington, S. c., Oct 9th, 4.3O p. m.
There was much important testimony
on the side of the defense adduced this
morning.
Mr.. Cole. L. Blease, who was with
Tilman when he made the threat to
shock South Carolina with the tragedy
Of Gonzales death, which was testified
TO by Adams, made a modification in
The testimony by saying that Tillman
said he would enact the tragedy in case
Gonzales continued in his threats. Mr..
Blease denied that Tillman carried
pistol during the campaign, bat ad-
nitted that he had one at the Columbia
meeting. Had one given to him by MIR.
Blcase and it was given to him be-
cause Tillman expected Gonzales to at
tack him that night.
MRS. NJ. a. EVANS,
Of New berry, testified that the day of
the shooting she heard two men in the
lobby Of the Senate discussing the diff
ferences between Tillman and Gonzales,
and from what she heard them say she
expected difficulty. She was not al
lowed to tell who the men were. II she
knew them. or what they said. She
walked on from the State house ac,i
when below the transfer $ta::A:. $.c.s

had with reference to the homicide afte

and the latter had to compel him by i'll

There was an interesting disrrtch in
yesterdays paper about the death Of
the oldest railroad conductor in the
South Capt. S. 6. Gilhcrt, of the
South Carolina Railroad, who has been
in the service since 1857, barring four
years in the civil war. Forty three
years is long time for a man to con-
fine himself to any one thing, particu-
larly to running daily on Il railroad
train. Capt. Gilbert must have looked
back often to his service in the civil
war as an agreeable diversion. - Char

TWO NEwBERRY WITNESSES
| Special to Herald and News


Cole. L. Blease, for the defense testified
that Tilman's language, which was re-
peated by T.. {. I. Adams, was used in
reply TO a remark of some one that Con
/alcs had threatened Tillman's life Till
man replied, "If he attempts to attack
me ! will snuff his light out" Blcase
said Tillnan did not carry pistol dur
ing the campaign. That the pistol he
had in his room in Columbia when lie
made this remark was Blease's pistol
given Tillman to protect himself because
it was thought Gonzales would attack
Tillman during his speech i'll Coum
ba.
Mrs. NJ. a. Evans testified that few
moments before the shooting she was
walking up Main street in Columbia and
met Gonzales, that he had very strange
expression, vindictive, and it looked like
there would be a tragedy. From his APP
pcarancc she thought he had his hand III
his pocket OH a pistol. and this taken III
connection with remarks she had heard
ut the State IIouie alarmed her. From
the expression Of Gonzales face he must
have seen Tilmau behind her at the time.
Soon afterwards she heard the shot

The room OF the Bennington Falls
club, which Messrs Fillmore and Slade
have generously allowed the club to
use rent free, on the third floor Of the
mill at the Falls, has seldom been bet
ter appreciated than on Friday even
ing, Dec. 18th, when the children of
the cobble-stone school house and the
people OF the district united in having
a Christmas tree and entertainment
under the excellent leadership of the
teacher, Miss Clara Doran at the club
room.
The decorations OF bunting, flags
and evergreens we're tasteiully ar
ranged under the supervision OF Mrs
Charles Haynes. William C. Robin
son acted as Santa Claus and brought
out shouts OF delight from the chill
dren.
Mrs Healy and Miss Doran rendered
some excellent duets. The Rotations
and songs by the children were nicely
given and reflect great credit upon
their teacher.
The people of the district had
worked together in making cornoco-
pias, hemstitehed handkerohiefs and
various other presents, so that each
child should have two presents. Then
many of the children had turned the
tables by making gifts for their
mothers.
In this they used the skill which
they had acquired in the basket-Weav-
ing class Of the club and made basket
pincushions, brush broom holders and
other styles of basket weaving and
really did very good work.
Nothing has brought the people so
generally together for long time and
the workers may we'll feel repaid for
the success of the event.

IN ACT OE TREASON

Governor Durbin of Indiana is evidently not
afraid Of offending those members of organized
labor who look upon the National Guard as the
workingman's arch enemy. 1t is a deplorable
fact that in various parts of the country union
men have been compelled to make their choice
between membership in the union and in the
citizen soldiery, and that response to duty
against riotous strikers has been charged
against union men by some of their fellows as
a crime. In consequence of this feeling, and
with view to protecting themselves against
the i'll will of their patrons, many merchants
and manufacturers have discharged men from
their employ for no other reason than that they
were members of the National Guard
The unions put the screws on" at Evansville
a few days ago to such an extent that several
employers discharged men because they had, as
members of the local military body aided In
quelling riot. In commenting on the action of
the employers Governor Durbin said: "To dis
charge man from employment because he re-
"sponded to the call of his State is an act of
treason"
There is true American ring to the sentence
which must command the admiration Of every
patriotic citizen forceful drectness and I'M
mistakable meaning which recall the famous
order of General Dix, and it will certainly do
much to bring the men who called it forth to a
realization of their shortcomings as Americans
1t is a comfort to know that there are tbou-
sands of good union men who do not share the
opinion of those who make war on the guards
man. and, although they may be silent possi-
bly, fearing oppression, which often follows on
position, they applaud, with all good citizens
the sentiment uttered by Governor Durbin
