TILLMAN TRIAL SET FOR MONDAY.
Cases FirSt-T Tillman Was
: Arraigncd.

james II TilImun, on Monday
next, will be placed on trial for the
murder Of Narciso G Gonzales.
Judge Frank B. Gary ut Lexington
on niMonday ma,le his first ruling in
this all absorbing case. The conten-
tion WAS whether the, case should be
:, ordered for trial this week or begin
next Monday. Lexington's grand
jury, county officers and lawyers in
sisted that the business Of the county
should first, be disposed of, and that
- it would take at least all of the pres
ent week to handle tho strictly local
GASES. The local attorneys, most of
whom are Of counsel for Tillman, in.
sisted that for economic reasons local
> cases should be first heard, and that
the Tillman case should not be inter
larded at an expense to the county.
Early on Monday, the opening day
fof the Lexington court, it WAS evi-
dent that the defence, for some rea-
son, wished the case to 90 set for
Monday next, and it was equally as
evident that the prosecution prefer.
red to get into the case with as little
delay as possible. Council for the
defence argued that they were anx,
ions to 20 to trial, and tn, sooner the
better they would like it, but three
of their counsel, who also happen to
be members of the Lexington Bar,
took the position that, independent
of the Tillman case, they insisted
upon first completing the local work,
and then taking up the case from
sister county, aud that the Lexington
cases would take all the week, whether
few we're continued or not.
ALLEGED CHOICE OF JURIEs.
1t WAS suggested, whether with
reason or not, that next weeks Jury
suited the defence better than that
of this week, but many insist that
there is no essential difference in the
jury, and counsel for the defence di-
rectly contended, that the request 10
fix the trial for next Monday came
from the grand jury, the local Bar
and the county officers
Solicitor Thurmond urged that
there wonld be no loss of time or
money to Lexington in fixing the
trial for yesterday (ThursdaS), and
If the local cases we're not then con.
oluded, and he .thoug ght they would
be certainly by Friday, that it would
be best to fix soma day this week for
the case to begin.
James III. Tillman waived the time
on arraignment and it was agreed
sthat he would not claim his three
days time when the case is called on
Monday, in lieu of his waiving the
arraignment, and nnleas here is some
other cause for delay the three days
time after the arraignment will not
be claimed on Monday.

in black, was we'll barbered and wore
two badges Of secret Orders on the
lapel of his coat. During tho entire
hearing he seemed quite serious and
consulted with his counsel during
the arguments and made snggestion ons.
Senator B. r. TilIman, who fol-
lowed djMshis nephew into the Court
room, sa' at his left during the en-
tire hearing. He spoke occasionally
to his nephew, but took no part in
the argument as to the time the case
should be heard.
THE ARRAY OF COUNSEL
Mr.. Geo. w. Croft, chief counsel
for James H. Tillman, asked Judge
Gary to enter on the record as coun4
sci for the accused Messrs Patrick II.
Nelson, Johnstone and Welch, George
r. Rembert, Efird and Dreher, Geo.
I. Graham, w. III. Sharpe and Cole
Il BIease.
solicitor Thurmond announced for
record the following attorneys az of
counsel for the prosecution: Messrs &
Duncan Bellihger, Andrew Crawford;
VIM. Elliott, Jr., E. l.. Asbill and
7. Q. Sturke.
Although the case has been fixed
for hearing on next Monday, there
still seems to be something in the air
which makes many believe that the
case will not actually be taken up on
Monday.
FIVE LOCAL MURDER CASES.
Counsel for both sides insist that
they are eager for the trial to begin
and to get through with the strain,
and there may be nothing whatever
in the suggestion that something will
happen which will for the third time
postpone the hearing Of the case,
which is attracting such universal
attention. There are six murder
cases to be tried ut this term of the
court here, including the Tillman
case.

Copied the Entire Sentence.

j. T, Trowbridge, the author was born
in Ogden, n. Y.
" From Ogden" he says. i went to
school at Lockport in my boyhood, and
there was a Lockport stonecutter whom
| used to like TO talk to, for he had a mind
as simple as a child's. l remember job
that he once undertook, the job of cutting
n sentence from Scripture over the door
of a little stone church. The committee
men who entrusted him with this Job
didn't comprehend his childlike, unre-
flecting nature or they wouldn't have
couched their order in the terms they
did.
" They wanted the sentence, MY
house shall be called a house of prayer
lie told them they had better write il
down for him But they said ii would
only be necessary to write down the
chapter and verse, and he could copy the
sentence right out of the good book
Well, our Lockport stonecutter copied
the sentence but he didn't end where he
should have ended. He went right on to
the sentences conclusion. The result
was that the legend over the church door
read
My house shall be a house of pray
er, but ye have made it den OF
thieves.

" Docs the union man violate the man
dates OF trade unionism when he allows
his wife to mend a rent in his trousers?'
This is the subject which was actually
seriously discussed by members of the
Central Labor union in Philadelphia this
week. When trade unionism reaches this
limit it has become fetischism. One can
imagine that these Philadelphia union
isits cast anchor in about an inch of
water.

custom. Thus a marriageable young
gypsy girl in the land of the Magyars,
as soon as her heart is smitten, takes
good care that the smiter shall hear

this praiseworthy object in view. she
